Glossy Glazes

Western Cone 05 Low-Fire Glossy Colored Lead-Free Glazes in Pint Size Jars. 
For best results, shake jar thoroughly before use, apply 2-3 even coats to clean cone 04-03 bisque fired clay, allow glaze to dry between coats, and fire on a medium or fast speed to cone 05. Clean the top of jar and close tightly for best storage.

Western Colored Transparent Gloss Glazes are most often used over light/white colored clays. When used on darker or red clays, these transparent colors may show the clay color through the glaze. Engobes can be used this way to enhance or make different color combinations with transparent color glazes. Ideally used over incised designs, translucent glaze colors pool in low areas creating deeper tone of glaze color. Great for baby hand prints, kids projects, decorative or functional ware. Transparent colors can run a bit more than the opaque glazes, so keep that in mind.

Opaque Gloss/Majolica Glazes

Opaque glazes can be used on dark or light clay bodies, as the colors tend to cover the background on which they are used with only subtle translucent changes from the clay. Because Majolica glazes do have some tendency to flow and equalize an otherwise inadequate application, they are the easiest glaze to recommend for use in schools, especially K thru 6 where beginners and children will most likely use them.
