Black Tulip is an active, flowing low-fire glaze that breaks clear over texture and pools a greenish obsidian where thick. Because of its tendency to break and expose the clay body beneath, this glaze looks stunning over 67-M (Sedona) and over textured ware that has been painted with underglaze.
The Glaze Crystals are all lead-free and dinnerware safe. They are suitable for a large range of temperatures, from Cone 06 to Cone 10. The higher they are fired the more they will spread out and move around. Crystals can best be applied to the final coat of glaze while it is still wet or mixed into the final coat of glaze and brushed on with the glaze.
Textured Amber is a semi-matte brown glaze that has a varied, translucent surface with a textured float of opaque tan speckles. Try layering this glaze with our other Potter's Choice glazes!
The low-fire Cone 06/04 Opaque Gloss glazes are all lead-free, dinnerware safe, and A/P non-toxic. These glazes require 2 to 3 coats by brushing for opaque coverage. In general, a more even appearance can be achieved by alternating the direction of brush strokes by 90° to the previous coat (i.e. first brush up and down the piece, next coat brush side to side). These glazes do not bleed together very much so they can usually be butted against each other without the colors running.

An excellent lead free, dinnerware safe, A/P non-toxic clear glaze, which is compatible with most commercially available underglazes. It has good tolerance for a wide variety of low fire pug clay bodies and rarely crazes. It was designed specifically for pugged clays, and therefore should be tested before being used on castware due to the potential difference in coefficient of expansion. We recommend applying clear glazes thinly (i.e. 1 to 2 coats by brushing) as it may cloud when applied too heavily.

(SMUGS) Semi-Moist Underglaze
The SMUG's are formulated to respond similarly to being brushed like watercolors- becoming more opaque with layered application and more transparent after water is added. They can be blended and diluted to achieve a wide variety of effects.
Rated for Cone 04-10. *excluding Peach and Rose (Cone 04-6)
Must be used with proper glaze to be food safe
