A-149 Iolite Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

Application Notes

• Brush application: Apply 2-5 coats for a balanced moss-green base and pronounced micro-speckle development. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats.
• Coat effect: As the number of coats increases, the green tone may become darker while surface coverage and the visibility of the black speckles may increase.
• Clay body selection: On white and light-colored clay bodies, the contrast between the dark moss-green base and black micro-speckles may appear more clearly.
• Firing effect: Speckle density, color depth, and satin sheen may vary depending on firing temperature, kiln atmosphere, hold time, and cooling rate.
• Surface form: On relief, recessed, and textured surfaces, variations in glaze thickness may enhance natural shading and emphasize the details of the form.
• Preparation: Mix the glaze thoroughly before use to ensure even distribution of the black micro-speckles and pigments.
