Pottery and Ceramics Glaze

CRYSTAL GLAZES

Crystal glazes are an exciting assortment of colored glazes that explode with jewels of color during firing.
They consist of a base glaze with pebbles, granules and specks of contrasting glazes.
Crystal glazes are a lead bearing glaze and should not be confused with the nontoxic crystal glazes called crystalites.
Never use crystal glazes on objects that will come into contact with your food.
Apply 3 to 4 coats of glaze on bisque that has been fired to Cone 04.
Make sure that your piece of pottery or ceramic is completely dry and fire to Cone 06.
These glazes can be bought at most pottery or ceramic shops.
The brand name is Mayco Jungle Gems.
You can also look these Mayco glazes up on the web at clay-king.com or call toll free at: 1-888-838-3625 and get the prices of each one or to place an order.

Tips Definitions Clay Projects Pottery Gallery Pottery Tools Glazes All About Clay

Have you ever come up with a good idea while working with your handmade pottery or ceramics and thought that you would like to share it with others? You have? Well, why not send it to us and we will add it to the tips page for all to see.

Handmade pottery can be a very gratifying hobby that produces fun and satisfying results. For many people it's an enjoyable release that is created by working an inanimate mound of clay into a beautiful work of art that you made through your artistic abilities.

The best way of starting out is to take a few lessons. You will probably waste quite a bit in materials when you first get started. Figuring out how to truly make handmade pottery correctly and shape into what you want it to be can be quite an ordeal. The different tools that a normal shop will have can be fun to try. You will soon see which ones you like to use the most and then when you are ready you will know which ones to buy.

When you get all set up, just enjoy the hobby and have fun at it. Some people get pretty serious and start selling their creations at craft fairs and small stores, but others just like to create items for themselves, relatives, and friends. Whichever kind of handmade pottery you desire to endeavor, enjoy the hobby and have fun doing it.
