Emphasizing the curves of the artwork with its fluid character, Kraken offers a unique depth for your high-fire stoneware designs.

Technical Data and Application

Artistic Character and Application Notes

The artistic power of Kraken glaze lies in the way its mineral structure glides over the form at high temperatures:

• Depth Effect: Saturated navy/blue tones dominate recessed areas where the glaze thickens and pools.
• Edge Breaks: On sharp lines and edges of the form, the glaze thins out to create "breaking" effects in brownish and yellowish tones.
• Variegated Texture: Thanks to its fluid character, a transitional and natural stone texture reminiscent of ocean waves occurs on the piece.

Care, Safety, and Storage

• Maintenance: High heat and chemicals in dishwashers may change the artistic effects or glossiness over time; hand washing is recommended.
• Application: The glaze is shipped in a dense consistency. For dipping or pouring methods, adjust the density by adding controlled amounts of water for ideal fluidity.
• Safety: Protective equipment should be used during application, keep away from fire sources, and apply under child supervision.
• Storage: Store airtight and away from direct sunlight. If settling occurs in product that has waited for a long time, stir and strain before use.
