Product detail

Cone 6 oxidation: (image 1) Moonscape is formulated to produce a medium gray to white variegation mottled with black crystals. Light coats will produce a matte gray finish with little white variegation and few crystals. Use three or more coats to produce more white variegation and crystals. At cone 5, this glaze will produce a matte sepia finish with little breaking over texture.

Cone 10 reduction: (image 2) Off-white variation darkens. Gray variation turns blue. Crystals melt.

TIP: Storm Gray (SW-137) is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal effect, you may try applying two coats of Storm Gray (SW-137) with a third coat of Moonscape.

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.
