The AMACO Low Fire Matt glaze series is a group of satin-matt glazes that boast a bright, lively color palette and a buttery soft surface after firing. Unlike more fluid glazes, these glazes are stiff and will not flow in the kiln, making them perfect for certain types of decorative techniques and surface treatment for both pottery and sculptural ware. (The LM cups were created by artist Justin Rothshank.)
For Matte Surfaces
Dinnerware Safe
Cups shown are on Red Clay (overglaze decals fired after)
Birds shown are White Clay
Cone 05
The "Flux etch/Glow green" option can be transparent or have an etching look depending on ware and firing temperature.
Once applied, these decals need to be fired in a kiln to a temperature around 1080F (580C) and the decals are NOT FOOD SAFE.
These low temperature decals are generally applied as a third firing on top of an already fired glaze. Once applied, these decals need to be fired in a kiln to CONE 022 (1080°F / 580°C). Once fired, the decals become permanently fused with the glaze, similar to decorative dinnerware.

Cone 6 results: Aqua Gloss is a highly-pigmented, gloss glaze. The highly stable qualities of this glaze make it ideal for design work and full opaque coverage at mid-range temperatures.
Cone 10 reduction: Color shifts to baby blue. Remains stable.
Tip: Can be mixed with other Stoneware Gloss glazes (SW500 series) to produce additional stable and opaque colors. Layer design work with other Stoneware Gloss series colors to create crisp images that won’t blur or require clear glaze.
AP Non Toxic and Dinnerware Safe
Cone 6 results: Sage Gloss is a highly-pigmented, gloss glaze. The highly stable qualities of this glaze make it ideal for design work and full opaque coverage at mid-range temperatures.
Cone 10 reduction: Color shifts to bluish green. Remains stable.
Tip: Can be mixed with other Stoneware Gloss glazes (SW500 series) to produce additional stable and opaque colors. Layer design work with other Stoneware Gloss series colors to create crisp images that won’t blur or require clear glaze.
AP Non Toxic and Dinnerware Safe
Cone 6 results: Tropical Teal is a glossy, semi-opaque teal glaze with a mottled float that breaks over texture. This glaze is stable.
Cone 10 reduction: Enhanced green undertone. Remains stable.
Tip: Blue is enhanced with increased application thickness.
Cone 6 results: Milk Glass is a glossy, semi-opaque white glaze that breaks transparent over texture. This glaze is stable.
Cone 10 reduction: Color shifts to blue with white float. Remains stable.
Tip: This glaze works well in combination with other glazes.
Cone 6 results: Green Jasper is a glossy, transparent white glaze that breaks over texture. Contains metallic green and blue crystals. Base color is stable, crystals can create movement.
Cone 10 reduction: Base remains. Crystals shift to metallic red. Light application recommended.
Tip: Green Jasper uses SW250 White Opal as the base glaze. Upon opening, crystals will be concentrated in the bottom of the bottle. Stir/shake thoroughly to incorporate before each use. Crystals can create movement. Avoid having a heavy concentration of crystals near the bottom of your piece. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to make crystal more accessible.
Cone 6 results: Mint Speck is a satin-matte, semi-opaque mint green that breaks over texture. Contains small purple, orange and yellow specks. This glaze is highly stable.
Cone 10 reduction: Changes to a glossy, transparent pale blue. Specks blur and lose de nition with increased application thickness. Remains stable.
Tip: Mint Speck uses SW135 Wintergreen as the base glaze. We recommend firing our matte glazes to cone 6 to produce a satin matte finish. Upon opening, specks will be concentrated in the bottom of the bottle. Stir/shake thoroughly to incorporate before each use.
Cone 6 results: Black Timber is a satin, opaque, mottled brown glaze that breaks over texture. Contains glossy brown crystals. Base color is stable, crystals can create movement.
Cone 10 reduction: Color becomes darker metallic, crystals flow more. Light application recommended.
Tip: Upon opening, crystals will be concentrated in the bottom of the bottle. Stir/shake thoroughly to incorporate before each use. Crystals can create movement. Avoid having a heavy concentration of crystals near the bottom of your piece. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to make crystal more accessible.
Cone 6 results: Sparkle Black Engobe fires matte black with metallic specks. Specks may produce texture. Highly stable.
Cone 10 reduction: No change to base color. Specks bloom and become matte. Remains stable.
Tip: To enhance the sparkle and improve texture, use your fingers to burnish/polish the surface of the ware before the last layer is dry. Polishing is not needed when used in combination.
KI-68 Honey Crystal is a warm, golden, and buttery yellow color.

What are Kiln Ice Glazes? These glazes are modeled after Guan Ware - a type of
Chinese ceramics that was produced during the Southern Song dynasty.
How does the crackle happen? The crackle is caused by the expansion and
contraction of the glaze and clay body in relation to one another also known as the CTE,
Coefficient of thermal expansion. Glaze thickness can affect the size of the crackle, smaller and
tighter when thin, larger, and hexagonal when thick. With this glaze thicker is better.
Recommended Clays: Brown or buff clays that do not contain manganese work best with these glazes.
We recommend AMACO Milk Chocolate No. 30, AMACO Dark Chocolate No.32 and AMACO Buff Stoneware No. 46.
Application Tips: Apply Kiln Ice glazes thicker than traditional Amaco glazes, at least an 1/8 inch thick (3.175mm). Glaze
thickness is critical to achieve a nice crackle. Multiple brushed on layers is better than one thick one. When the glaze thickness starts
to get heavy it will take longer to dry in between coats, this is due to the gums that are added to make it brushable also slows the dry time
when glaze is thick.
Food Safe? Yes, but due to durability, these glazes are not recommended for food surfaces. Use a liner glaze for any food surfaces on functional wares.

Underglaze Pencils provide a nice alternative to liquid underglazes as they allow for better control, are easy to apply and are mess free. They also have a long lifespan and do not dry out the way underglazes can.

One custom silkscreened underglaze rice paper transfer sheet for use on greenware or bisque pottery. These extra large sheets come with a usable area of 19" long x 13" wide compared to the more common 8.5" X 6.5" sheet, making them excellent for larger plates and cutting into strips to wrap all the way around a few mugs. They can can be fired to any temperature and work well in gas, wood, or electric firings. I typically fire to cone 6 with a zinc free clear glaze on top. I have also fired them to cone 11 in a reduction kiln with great success. For specific design and color please see photo and listing title. These decals are designed and made exclusively for Elan Pottery.
