Maycoshino - Dry
Description
Stoneware glaze for dipping. Fires between 1200 °C and 1300 °C (cone 5 to 10). Can be sprayed and used for oxidation, reduction, among others. Since clays can vary and have different properties, we recommend testing the glaze on a small piece of the clay you intend to use. The bag contains powder to be mixed with water according to the instructions.
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 deepen the color. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process, and temperature will affect the fired finish.

Information
Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): Maycoshino is a variegating iron glaze with subtle color changes. In a thin application, the user will achieve rich, iron browns. Applied thicker, the user will get lighter, creamy hues that are reminiscent of traditional Japanese Shino glazes. This glaze is wonderful on any surface, any color clay body.
Cone 10 reduction (smaller image): Color darkens to a gray/brown.
TIP: One coat produces a solid reddish brown opaque covering; Two coats produces a cream-tan-buff finish that breaks brown over surface texture; Three coats significantly introduces waves of cream-tan color over the reddish brown base.
Safety
Can be irritating, harmful to health, and environmentally hazardous.
