C-50210 Hematit - Artistic High-Fire Glaze

C-50210 Hematit is a distinctive artistic high-fire glaze characterized by metallic gray tones reminiscent of natural hematite stone, a deep matte surface, and a subtly textured finish. After firing, its fine speckled structure and surface depth that shifts with the angle of light give ceramic forms a bold, industrial appearance.

Technical Data and Application

Recommended Color Combinations

Application Notes

• Brush application: For balanced surface coverage and a pronounced metallic effect, 2-3 coats are recommended. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Coat effect: As application thickness increases, the depth of the gray tone, surface matteness, and appearance of the fine-speckled structure may vary.
• Texture development: The lightly textured surface character may vary depending on the clay body, application thickness, firing temperature, and cooling rate.
• Light effect: The metallic gray surface may appear darker or lighter depending on the angle of the light. This variation may become more pronounced on textured forms.
• Clay body selection: On light-colored high-fire clay bodies, the metallic gray tones may appear clearer. On darker bodies, the surface may develop a deeper, lower-contrast appearance.
• Preparation: Mix thoroughly before use to ensure even distribution of metallic pigments and texture-forming particles.
