SW193 - Ivy

Cone 6 oxidation (photo): Ivy is a glossy, opaque, variegated green glaze with that breaks over texture and has an iridescent sheen. Green micro-crystallization may develop. Cone 10 reduction: Glaze shifts to a variegated jade that breaks purple over texture. Micro-crystallization enhances. TIP: This glaze is fluid; Apply receding coats to avoid runoff on vertical pieces and practice caution in combination. Prone to pinholes when fired on manganese clay bodies. 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.
