Spectrum 1100 Transparent

Spectrum 1100 Series Stoneware Glazes   We offer a selection of 79 cone 4/6 Stoneware Glazes. All of these glazes are lead-free and dinnerware safe. Most of them also come with the A/P non-toxic rating from the Art & Creative Materials Institute (ACMI) which is clearly marked on the product label. Some of the reactive type glazes are rated C/L by the ACMI which means that they are considered toxic in the liquid (unfired) state due to the presence of heavy metals, such as copper or vanadium, beyond the non-toxic legal limit. C/L rated glazes are not suitable for use by young children or pregnant women. We have 3 types of Stoneware Glazes: clear glazes; plain colored glazes; and reactive glazes. These are described in more detail below. In general, clear glazes are used to cover designs created with underglazes. There is a choice of gloss, satin or crackle finishes. Our plain colored glazes are opaque and come in gloss and satin finishes. Some of our most popular stoneware glazes are the reactive colors which produce multi-tone and multi-colored effects by the combination of various metal oxides. Many other interesting effects can be created by layering these reactive glazes. In particular, layering a more fluid glaze, such as 1173, underneath or on top of one of the other reactive glazes often produces beautiful results. All of our Stoneware Glazes are available wet in pints and gallons. They are also available dry in 10 lb. bags. The wet glazes are set up for brushing application. The dry glazes are set up for dipping application. For dry glaze mixing instructions see the sheet on "Dry Glaze Mixing Instructions" towards the end of this Product Guide. Please follow the instructions carefully especially with respect to the amount of water required.
