SW153 Indigo Rain (Mayco) Cone 5-10

INDIGO RAIN SW-153

Cone 6 (first image): Indigo Rain is a matte white glaze that contains a two-toned purple and violet crystal. As the crystal melts, a purple crystal with violet specks appears. The glaze has a soft subtle beauty.

Cone 10 (second image): Color darkens to variegated light gray/purple. Crystals melt.

TIP: SW-106 Alabaster is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal effect, you may try applying two coats of SW-106 Alabaster with a third coat of SW-153 Indigo Rain.

DESCRIPTION

Stoneware crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Fired results will vary based on ware’s orientation. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Stir with palette knife or other unpainted tool. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. Crystals will flow more than the base glaze. While the glaze is wet, use your fan brush to redistribute the crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pinholing or running. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use.
