SW217 - Micro Cerulean

Cone 6 oxidation (image): Micro Cerulean is a glossy, translucent, medium blue glaze with an aqua float that breaks over texture. Blooms of shimmering blue micro-crystallization will develop during the firing process.   Cone 10 reduction: Glaze turns to a variegated grey/blue.  TIP: This glaze is stable at 3 coats. Additional coats or increased application thickness may result in movement. Due to the translucent nature of this product, be aware of your application consistency and thickness to avoid streaky brushstrokes. We recommend firing our micro glazes to cone 6 oxidation to reach crystalline development. Micro Cerulean achieves a stable, semi-opaque, deep blue result that breaks over texture and has a pearlescent satin finish when fired to cone 5. Can be used in oxidation or reduction firings. Results may vary. The choice of clay body, thickness of application, firing process, and temperature will greatly affect the fired results. Always test your application on your clay body in your kiln environment. 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.
