Mayco Jungle Gems

Price range: R145.00 through R375.00

Mayco’s Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes transform in the kiln when the small pieces of glass frit burst into colour and intricate patterns during the firing process. Artists use these beautiful glazes to add dramatic, colourful effects to their creations. Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes can be used alone or in combination with other glazes and can be fired from cone 06 to 6. Refer to the individual colour label for cone 6 firing performance or visit MaycoColors.com.

Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes are recommended for ornamental use only when applied to low fire earthenware clay bodies. All but eight Jungle Gems glazes have been certified as Non-Toxic, suitable for use by artists of all ages when used according to manufacturer’s directions.

Jungle Gems are not recommended for dinnerware produced from low fire earthenware clay bodies as these glazes can exhibit surface textures such as cracks and crevices. While the glazed surface may pass lead & cadmium leach tests, and therefore legally considered Food Safe, attempts to adequately clean the textured surface may cause the underlying porous ware to absorb water and fail. Jungle Gems glazes may be considered dinnerware safe if surface texture is eliminated when firing to mid-range or high fire temperatures. We invite you to unleash your creativity with Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes.

Unleash your creativity with Mayco’s Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes. These stunning glazes allow ceramic artists to add colour and depth to their designs with ease. Use alone for stunning effects, in glaze combination blending with Cobblestones or simply as an accent to your design.

Description

General Use

Crystal glazes were designed to mature at cone 06/05. Shake the jar well and stir during the application process. Apply two to three even coats to shelf cone 04 bisque with a fan brush, allow to dry between coats. We recommend a soft fan brush, such as CB-604 #4 or CB-618 #8 Soft Fan, for glaze application. Stir frequently as crystals tend to settle in the jar due to their weight. Re-distribution of crystals may be required during the final coat. Where you see the crystal is where you will see it bloom. Avoid heavy application of crystals at the bottom of ware as the crystals bloom and can adhere to the kiln shelves or stilts. The crystals in the glaze will melt when fired, which may create a textured surface. Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes have a natural crazing that occurs when the crystals “bloom”. As that surface may be difficult to properly clean if in contact with food, we recommend crystal glazes to be used on decorative ware.

Jungle Gems Crystal Glazes have been formulated to mature at cone 06/05. However can be fired at higher temperatures. Their performance at cone 6 is noted on each individual product label. Crystals tend to flow at higher temperatures so take care on vertical pieces. We recommend testing on your clay body and in your kiln prior to use.

Jungle Gems glazes are a mix of certified AP Non-Toxic and caution label CL. CG-707 Woodland Fantasy, CG-713 Peacock Green, CG-716 Pagoda Green, CG-717 Pistachio, CG-962 Blue Azure, CG-967 Green Agate, CG-979 Meadow, and CG-982 Mixed Melon require a caution label, CL, due to soluble copper and CG-973 Alligator due to barium.
