Cone 6: (1st image) Olive Float is a dark green gloss glaze that contains a light green crystal. It is a dazzling glaze that mimics crystalline glazes without the fuss of complicat ed kiln programing! Cone 10: (2nd image) Color changes to red. Crystals remain. TIP: SW-210 Emerald is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal effect, you may try applying two coats of SW-210 Emerald with a third coat of SW-151 Olive Float. Stoneware crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts 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 Dinnerware Safe Show more
