Mayco Textured Earthenware Glazes

R265.00

Create a textured “cobbled” surface by applying Cobblestone over another glaze or create fluffy, snow-like effects with Snowfall.

Cobblestones create a textured “cobbled” surface when fired. Apply over another glaze and during the firing process, a shattered pattern of raised, irregular chips will emerge. The underlying glaze will appear in the cracks.

Mayco Snowfall is a dimensional glaze that create a white, textured surface. It is a non-moving glaze and, as such, application methods (brushing, detailer bottle/slip trailer) have an impact on the fired result. Use it as an accent glaze on Christmas items and animal décor. Apply it up to ¾ inches thick for extra dimension!

Snowfall can simulate more than just snow, use it for ocean foam, clouds, etc. To create colored Snowfall, brush other glazes like Bellissimo or Underglazes of choice over the white snowfall and fire. For a 3-dimensional design, use snow over a stencil.

Description

Cobblestone General Use

Shake for 5-6 seconds before use. Dispense glaze onto a palette (tile, plate, etc.) and apply 2 coats with a broad, soft brush. Apply the second coat while the first coat is still damp: do not allow Cobblestone to dry between coats. Pattern break-up is determined by the application direction of the brush stroke. Large break up heavier application, small breakup lighter application. If application is too light the cobblestone will not break up. Reapplying and touching up will not achieve a break up. Fire to shelf cone 06 or higher.

Cobblestone glazes have been certified as Non-Toxic, safe for use by artists of all ages when used according to manufacturer’s directionsHowever, they are not recommended for dinnerware due to the durability of the fired glazeSome glazes, regardless of surface texture or porosity of underlying clay body, will be designated as not suitable for dinnerware as the fired glaze surface is not durable and can be impacted by contact with food or liquids. While it may not be harmful, it is certainly not desirableFurther, these glazes exhibit surface textures such as cracks and crevicesWhile 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. Recommended for ornamental use only.

Snowfall General Use

Mix well. Apply 2 or more coats over unfired glazes, shelf cone 04 bisque (1060°C), greenware or clay. Can be applied with a soft brush or sponge. For dimensional effects, apply using a Writer Tip. Fire to shelf cone 06 (999°C). Can be applied with a soft brush, sponge slip trailer, or writer tip for texture variations.Although Snowfall was designed to be fired to cone 06, Snowfall may be fired to higher temperatures to add a puffy texture to mid-range fire designs. Snowfall will perform the same in mid-range firings.

Snowfall has been certified as Non-Toxic, safe for use by artists of all ages when used according to manufacturer’s directions. However, Snowfall is not recommended for dinnerware as it exhibits 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.
