Mayco Elements Glaze

Designed to simulate the aesthetic, movement and interest of mid-range and high fire glazes in a cone 06/05 oxidation kiln firing, Elements give artists a wide variety of options in one product, as glaze application, firing temperature and shape will influence the outcome of finished work. Elements are two-tone glaze with a main color and a secondary color called a float. When Elements are applied to detailed pieces, the float color will appear in the crevices. Application and firing will also affect the outcome of main color or float. Finishes vary from gloss to matte with subtle variations in each color. May be used in layering combinations or as a single glaze to create designs or apply as a natural background.

Some Elements glazes are not to be recommended for dinnerware produced from low fire earthenware clay bodies as these glazes can exhibit surface textures such as cracks and crevices. While the glazed surface may pass lead & cadmium leach tests, and therefore legally considered Food Safe, attempts to adequately clean the textured surface may cause the underlying porous ware to absorb water and fail. Elements glazes may be considered dinnerware safe if surface texture is eliminated when firing to mid-range or high fire temperatures. The key is recommended usage for low fire (earthenware cone 05/06) dinnerware. Glazes with surface texture applied to vitrified clay bodies do not have the same concern.
