TIP: One coat will produce a medium gray matte finish with little white variegation. Subsequent coats build a white variegation, muting the medium gray. Thinned coats produce a medium gray satin finish. Thick applications will increase white variegation. Brush stroke application is visible in finished results. We recommend applying coats on bisque in different directions (crosshatch). Although finish appears opaque, surface decoration can be easily seen through glaze.

Stoneware matte glazes range from solid shades to those that create interesting color variations as they move and break. Application thickness is the key to making mattes work for you.

Mayco’s line of Stoneware Glazes are available in a beautiful array of colors, tints and tones. These glazes were developed to perform from mid-range (cone 5/6) to higher fire (cone 9/10) temperatures.  Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colors and shades. Used alone, stoneware glazes produce beautiful color variations. One coat will allow the clay body to show through the glaze and two to three coats deeper the color. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired finish--we recommend that glazes always be tested on your clay body.  

Mayco’s Stoneware Glazes are Food Safe, Non Toxic and Non Hazardous when used according to manufacturer's directions.
