SW174 Leather (Mayco) Cone 5-10

LEATHER SW-174

Cone 6 oxidation (first image): Leather is a matte brown glaze that displays shades of blue and green. The variation of the glaze is dependent on application. The thicker the application, the more homogenous the color will be. The glaze will break translucent where thinner and pool darker around surface textures.

Cone 10 reduction (second image): Glossy blue becomes more prominent.

DESCRIPTION

Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thinkness is the key to making mattes work for you.

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.
