Glazing woes?? Have no fear - Amaco is here!! Follow along in our first Top 5 video where we guide you through our top tips and tricks when it comes to brushing glaze on your ceramic wares.
The sample pieces we show in Amaco ads and layering brochures aren't achieved by camera tricks or elaborate firing schedules, but simply by a uniform method for applying glazes and tracking results.
Shino Glazes
Influenced by the humble earthiness of tea ceremony bowls, our Shino glazes give a traditional high-iron look to any high fire clay body. Beautiful on textured or smooth clay bodies, blendable to get the right degree of matte or glossy surface.
Shino glazes can also be layered with our PC line of glazes for different effects.
Heavy Iron reduction look in oxidation | Suitable for Red or White Clay | Blendable to get gloss or matte variations | Food safe | Cone 5
Cone 5 = 1184°C (at 150°C/hour for the final 100°C of firing) / 2201°F ( at 270°F/hour in the final 200°F of firing)
Cone 6 = 1241°C (at 150°C/hour for the final 100°C of firing) / 2266°F ( at 270°F/hour in the final 200°F of firing)
