Coyote Archies Glazes

The Archie's series of glazes are a set of twleve amazing colors designed to create dynamic and spectacular effects in cone 5-6 firings, inspired by the look of reduction glazes but developed for an electric kiln, Archie's glazes will often produce multiple colors or finished even with a single application.

Combining the Archie's colors with other Coyote glazes unleashes their potential even further!  The interaction of Archie's series glazes with other families allows for dramatic special effects; they can radically change colors when used with other glazes and their activity creates phenomenal patterns

This series is more demanding and the application is critical; too thin and they can be ugly, too thick and they will be runny. Food safe. Not all glazes will fit well on all clay bodies (nor do all clay bodies fit well with all glazes), so it is always a good idea to test a glaze on the clay you are using to insure they are compatible. Most of the Coyote glazes have fairly average expansion rates, and are likely to fit most average clay bodies.

Coyote has one series of low expansion glazes that can shiver if used on a high expansion clay body, so care should be taken to make sure these glazes fit the clay you are using. They are: Archie's Base, Blue Purple, Eggplant, Gun Metal Green, Ice Blue, Opal, Red Gold and Rhubarb.

Archie's glazes may not fit some clay bodies and can be running when they are applied thickly.  If you are overlapping, only double dip (or brush) the upper 2/3 of the piece.  Although they require more care and testing than other Coyote glazes, the Archie's series are an invaluable tool to any potter who wants a glaze that takes advantage of the ease of electric firing, but is exciting to look at.
