Technical Data and Application

Color Pairing Suggestions

You can pair the rich, refined green character of Emerald glaze with the following colors:

Application Notes

• Brush application: The product is supplied ready to use at a consistency suitable for brush application. Applying 3 coats on white clay is recommended for pronounced color depth and surface effects.
• Coat application: Allow each coat to dry completely. Apply each new coat in a different direction to achieve a balanced covering.
• Flow control: Because this glaze is fluid, leave a sufficient unglazed safety margin near the base of vertical forms. The risk of running may increase with thicker applications.
• Firing effect: At approximately 1040°C, the glaze may become more fluid and its artistic transitions may become more pronounced on vertical surfaces.
• Dipping and pouring: Adjust the consistency by adding approximately 5-10% water. Add water gradually and preserve the glaze’s coverage.
• Clay body selection: Emerald green appears brighter and clearer on white clay. Dark or grogged clay bodies may produce darker, more rustic and dramatic results.
• Effect variation: Clay color, application thickness, number of coats, and firing conditions may alter the color intensity, degree of flow, and surface movement.
