Series: 900 to 924
Glaze Type: Low Temperature
900-924 - Our exciting new line of low fire (cone 06/04)
glazes that give the appearance of stoneware. The first nine colors
have a glossy finish. 901 to 905 are semi-transparent two-tone glazes
that produce a beautiful effect when used on pieces with some detail.
906 to 908) are glazes that break up and give one color in areas
where they are thick and another color in areas where they are thinner.
The remaining sixteen glazes (909-924), with the exception of 917
Terra Cotta, have a satiny finish and they will all break up to
varying degrees. The exception, 917 Terra Cotta is a very matte
glaze that does not react with any of the other Low Stone glazes.
It is designed to give an appearance just like plain terra cotta
bisque when applied on top of a white clay body. We have added 900
Clear to this line which can be used, for example, to line the inside
of pots. Please do not use our 900 series glazes on the same piece
with our 700 series glazes. Due to significantly different expansion
rates this combination can cause pots to crack.
In addition to the chip samples in our color chart which show the
result of applying 3 coats of each glaze on white bisque and firing
to cone 05, please also look at the bell samples which show example
of some of the wonderful effects that can be created by layering
these glazes. These bells were done by putting 1 coat of one of
the Low Stone glazes on the top half of the bell and then applying
2 coats of one of the other Low Stone glazes over the entire bell.
We only had space to show a few of the numerous possible results
that can be achieved this way.
All 24 of these glazes are lead-free and dinnerware safe when fired
correctly. 16 of the colors are AP non-toxic, but 8 of the colors
(901,902,903,913,914,915,923 and 924) have Health Labels for use
in the unfired state. This is due to the presence of copper oxide
and/or nickel oxide exceeding the prescribed limits.
