Cone 05. These glazes have a smooth, unique stone-like surface when fired over a mature Cone 04 bisque. The ST glaze series flows a little in the firing, settling in the crevices and towards the bottom of a vertical surface. Therefore, when applied over a textured surface they will produce antique-like variations or a weathered and worn out look on the higher relief areas of the piece. Because they move slightly, care should be taken to taper down the glaze application towards the bottom of the piece so that the piece will not stick to the kiln shelf during firing.
Amaco Stone Texture glazes are available in liquid, ready-to-use form in pint jars.
These glazes can be used over any AMACO® earthenware clay. When applied over Indian Red Clay No. 67, the clay color showing through the high relief contrasts and blends with the glaze color and the entire piece is enriched by the warm undertones.
AMACO® Stone Texture glazes are best applied over a mature Cone 04 bisque. The recommended firing temperature is Cone 05 (1911°F, 1044°C), however they can be fired lower to Cone 06 (1855°F, 1013°C) or higher to Cone 04 (1971°F, 1077°C) to produce different effects. Do not be afraid to experiment. AMACO® Stone Texture glazes can also be used by applying them over or under other glazes like the LF, F, or DG series or within their own series.
