    Mayco SW-176 Sandstone

    Cone 6: Sandstone is a matte, off-white glaze that contains a variety of brown crystals that melt during the firing. Thicker application and heavy crystal concentration will produce more glossy blue/purple variation.

    Cone 10: Color darkens. Glossy blue/purples become more prominent.

    TIP: SW-172 Macadamia is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal effect, you may try applying two coats of SW-172 Macadamia with a third coat of SW-176 Sandstone.

  • Mayco SW-252 Blue Opal

    Mayco SW-252 Blue Opal

    Cone 6: Blue Opal is a medium blue semi-transparent to fully opaque gloss glaze. Thinner applications create a transparent blue haze; thicker coatings produce an
    opaque finish. Surface textures can cause the glaze to collect and produce streaks of greyish blue.

    Cone 10: Becomes more transparent. Can produce red mottling in a heavy reduction.

    TIP: Light applications on brown and buff bodies will produce a transparent green-blue gloss finish. Thinner application will provide a glossy transparent finish. Thicker application will provide light blue floating. Surface decoration will be visible under the glaze, but if you apply the glaze thick, it could blur your image.

  • Mayco SW-253 Green Opal

    Mayco SW-253 Green Opal

    Cone 6: Green Opal achieves a vibrant chartreuse gloss when fired. Lighter applications lead to a semi-opaque yellow-green; heavier applications see the formation of a green float.

    Cone 10: Color lightens; becomes more transparent.

    TIP: Darker clay bodies, such as buff and brown, display the phosphorescent qualities of Green Opal. On manganese bodies, Green Opal will interact with manganese bodies, creating interesting brown streaks. Thinner application will provide a glossy transparent finish. Thicker application will provide light green floating. Surface decoration will be visible under the glaze, but if you apply the glaze thick, it could blur your image. and pool into
