TIP: A minimum of TWO coats are needed to develop a crackle pattern. To highlight the crackle pattern, after firing, wipe black acrylic or ink over the ware and wipe off, allowing the ink to fill the cracks.

Not Dinnerware Safe: Not recommended for dinnerware as the fired finish is either not chemically durable or has surface characteristics that could potentially trap bacteria. Recommended for the outside of a dinnerware piece, below the lip line or for ornamental use only.

Stoneware Clear Glazes will preserve and enhance the surface of your work. We suggest using SW-004 Zinc Free Clear over the following Mayco glaze colors: UG-21 Leaf Green, UG-22 Spring Green, UG-198 Dark Grey, UG-210 Forest Green, UG-232 Olive, SG-405 Designer Liner Green, and EG006 Sparkle Black Engobe. Zinc Free Clear works well with common colors that contain chrome.

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.
