Kashmere Satins

Soft rich colors with a slight sheen and a buttery feel, best describe the Kashmere Satins. Colors are semi-opaque with the exception of the S400 Clear Satin.

Translucent underglaze designs can be applied over the satins with unusual results. Airbrushing with the translucent underglazes over the satins is also very effective.

These glazes combine with the Antique Art Glaze series for some beautiful decorator pieces. An example of the marble technique is shown at right.

The S400 Clear and S401 White are food-safe, but the balance of the line is not for use on food containers.

Matte Glazes

These glazes are very soft with only a slight sheen. M500 and M503 are transparent. Try them over translucent underglaze or Color-Code designs.

The M501 is an opaque white.

The Frosted Oatmeal is an off white transparent with tiny specks and is shown at right. Excellent for canister sets that you plan to decorate with decals.

Apply on bisque and fire to cone 05-06. All three are food-safe.

Foaming Texture Glazes

A foaming glaze expands and forms a foam like texture during firing. It can be used as an all over coverage or F603 Turquoise Stone and F605 Coral Stone can be spot glazed to resemble turquoise or coral stones.

Designs can be applied over White Lava with the translucent underglazes such as seen in photo at right.

Try using Mardi Gras Luster or Unique Fired Gold over fired foaming glaze.

These glazes are non-toxic but not for use on food containers.

Antique Art Glazes

These glazes are unusual and the effects vary depending on application and firing. Fired pieces are usually matte with glossy runs. They are good on embossed pieces and in combination with other glazes, especially the Kashmere Satins.

All can be used on Porcelain and Stoneware bodies. They do run at cone 5, so we recommend tapering the coats near bottom of piece, dry footing and stilt with non-wire stilts.

Bronzemorie is shown at right.

Crackle Glazes

Crackle Glazes form a network of fine cracks in the fired surface much like old oriental art pieces. These glazes should be applied to cone 05–04 bisque and fired no hotter than 06. Remove from kiln while still very warm, using tissue paper to protect the surface from finger prints.

Stain with India Ink or Tone-ettes to develop the crackle. It is advisable to wait a day or so before staining as the crackle pattern continues to develop for several hours after removing from kiln.

G394 Clear is very effective over a translucent underglaze design. The resultant piece resembles an antique.

G397 Oriental Crackle is a most unusual color when used on an embossed piece that has been antiqued with a dark Fired Antique.

Pieces that have been fired in a crackle glaze can be covered with fired gold and refired to cone 08 for a crackled gold finish that is really different.

These glazes are non-toxic, but cannot be used on food surfaces because of the fine cracks that may harbor bacteria, and crackle pieces are porous.
