Product detail

Cone 6 oxidation: (image 1) Aurora Green produces a mottled aqua gloss glaze with light brown and large black crystals. As the crystals melt, bursts of blue and brown will develop.

Cone 10 reduction: (image 2) Color changes to a variegated pink/blue/green. Crystals become less pronounced.

TIP: Green Tea (SW-108) is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal effect, you may try applying two coats of Green Tea (SW-108) with a third coat of Aurora Green. Due to the large sized crystals in Aurora Green they often reside in the bottom of the glaze; be sure to stir well or pour the glaze out onto a plate to make them more accessible.

Stoneware crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Fired results will vary based on ware’s orientation. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. Over-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pinholing or running.
