New Potter's Choice Glazes
We are excited to introduce new colors from the AMACO Potter’s Choice series – one of the most beloved glaze collections in the ceramics world.
Potter’s Choice glazes are known for their vibrant colors, depth, and unique effects. Each glaze develops beautifully during firing and often creates variations depending on application and clay body. The series is designed to achieve reduction-like effects in an oxidation kiln, making it perfect for both hobbyists and professional ceramic artists.
What makes Potter’s Choice so special?
What sets this series apart is how the glaze moves and reacts in the kiln:
- Creates depth and variation in color
- Produces beautiful breaks on edges and textures
- Can be layered for even more complex results
This means that every firing becomes slightly unique – and that’s exactly what makes the series so popular.
A few favorites to get inspired by:
PC-13 Serpentine Green
PC-19 Moon River
PC-69 Cosmic Gold Dust
These glazes showcase the range of the series – from deep, almost cosmic surfaces to more natural, earthy tones and flowing effects. Explore more Potter’s Choice glazes on our website.
How to use Potter’s Choice
To get the most out of your glazes:
- Apply 2–3 coats to bisque-fired ware
- Fire to cone 5–6 (approx. 1200–1220°C)
- Test on different clay bodies – results may vary
A helpful tip is to experiment with thickness:
- Thin application → more subtle color
- Thick application → more movement and effects
Layering – where the magic happens
One of the biggest strengths of Potter’s Choice is the ability to combine multiple glazes.
By layering one glaze over another, you can create:
- New color combinations
- Dramatic runs
- Unique surfaces that can’t be exactly replicated
This is where the series truly stands out – the possibilities are almost endless.
Tips before you start
- Always test on a test tile first
- Document the layers you use
- Don’t be afraid to experiment
The new Potter’s Choice glazes are now available at Art4Fun – ready to take your ceramic projects to the next level. Whether you’re aiming for natural, organic surfaces or more dramatic effects, this is a series that invites creativity and exploration.
