SW178 Fool's Gold (Mayco) Cone 5-10

FOOL'S GOLD SW-178

Cone 6 oxidation (first image): Fool’s Gold is a gloss, semi-transparent glaze consisting of a rich brown base with tiny, gold metallic flecks. The variation of glaze depends on application. The thicker the application, the more homogenous the color will be. The glaze will break translucent and pool darker around surface textures.

Cone 10 reduction (second image): Color darkens and produces metallic mottling.

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.
