SW127 Olivine (Mayco) Cone 5-10

Cone 6 oxidation (first image): Olivine has rusts and several shades of green flow from this mobile gloss glaze. Lighter coats produce muted greens and browns, 3 coats can
produce a beautiful metallic green, almost mirror-like, luster.

Cone 10 reduction (second image): Color flattens and warm undertones come through.

TIP: The thinner the application, the more green the glaze will be. The thicker the application, the more brown the glaze will be. If the glaze is fired cooler, the deeper brown and less variation will appear. If too brown, put back in the kiln and fire again.

DESCRIPTION

Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colors and shades. Used alone, stoneware glazes produce beautiful color variations. One coat will allow the clay body to show through the glaze and two to three coats deeper the color. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired finish.

Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
