Mayco Stoneware SW-192 Amaryllis
Cone 6 oxidation: Amaryllis is a glossy, transparent, coral glaze with crystals in varying sizes that bloom into shades of brown, yellow, and orange.
Cone 10 reduction: Glaze fades to a transparent pink. Crystals soften. Glaze remains stable.
TIP: -SW-205 Coral is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal affect, apply 1 coat of SW-192 Amaryllis over 2 coats of SW-205 Coral. This glaze is stable, even with heavy application.
Stoneware Crystal
Stoneware crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling burts of color. Fired results will vary based on ware’s orientation. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Stir with palette knife or other unpainted tool. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. Crystals will flow more than the base glaze. While the glaze is wet, use your fan brush to redistribute the crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pinholing or running. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use.
Mayco’s Stoneware Crystal glazes are a unique line of glazes that contain colorful crystals in the glazes themselves that are designed to melt and bloom during the firing. These crystals add variation in color, finish, and movement to the glazes that you already know and love! All of our Stoneware Crystal glazes begin with a base glaze; most of the base glazes can be found in our other Stoneware Glaze lines.
