Great glittery black for high fire
Love this glaze. I use it at a community kiln fired to cone 6, and with 4 coats it came out great on several projects. Cool shimmery black that breaks dark bronze on texture. I did not have any issues with this glaze running (which I definitely can't say the same for some of the other "Cosmic" glazes).

Great glaze
Amaco does not fail. Bought from Blick Art Materials if I remember correctly-they are my go to for glazes. Fired at cone 6 in an electric kiln, lovely flow, breaks beautifully and for my purposes benefits from three coats generously applied. Love this!

Amaco Sienna on Standard 112 Clay
I am so excited to see this color come out of the kiln and I will update this with a picture of it on a piece of Standard 112 midfire clay. It seemed like the perfect color for fall and pumpkins. Amaco always makes great colors (especially PC). It was easy to apply and went on smoothly. I am excited to see what it looks like fired. Amaco glazes always seem a bit pricey to me, but do always have good results- so we will see!

Works well! I’m not really fond of this glaze color but it’s what I needed for my pottery project.

Beautiful glittery glaze!
Such a beautiful glaze! The more coats the darker it looks. Its the dark base.

Sparkly, a little temperamental, but worth the buy.
This is one of my favorite glazes to work with but it can also be temperamental. It works well over the Obsidian celadon by the same manufacturer! Here’s some tips for the best outcome: Thoroughly stir the jar before each layer. Allow each layer to dry evenly before the next layer. Apply at least four layers. This glaze is translucent brown with shimmer, and becomes more solid and sparkly the thicker it goes on. In my testing, 4-6 layers seem to be the sweet spot. Most of all, have fun! This is definitely a glaze you’ll need to test, but it’s beautiful when it comes out right. 🧚🏻♀️

Good consistency
Good consistency. Honey flux adds a great touch when layering. Can’t wait to layer this with other Amaco glazes to achieve more color variations.

Honey Flux is an essential part of my studio
Honey flux is amazing and the fact that I ran out of my stock is just sinful! This glaze is a staple for my work and I needed it quickly to meet a deadline. I couldn’t be happier that it arrived and the deadline was met.
