Product detail

Cone 6 oxidation: (image 1) Shipwreck is an aquamarine gloss glaze that contains an iron crystal. As the crystal melts, a small iron speck appears. The glaze appears mysterious like underwater footage.

Cone 10 reduction: (image 2) Color darkens.

TIP: Peacock (SW-212) is the base glaze. For a lighter crystal effect, you may try applying two coats of Peacock (SW-212) with a third coat of Shipwreck.

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.
