Our low fire glazes are perfect for school projects, classrooms, studios, and potters who do not fire at high temperature. These low fire glazes are the potter’s choice when looking for a wide palette of colors, like celadon, lively reds, deep greens, bright blues. Our mid fire glazes offer similar ranges but also introduce interesting effects and tonality not available in low fire glazes. Sometimes glaze contents will settle. That's normal! Just like house paints, ceramic glazes need to be fully mixed to ensure smooth consistency. We recommend mixing well for at least 1-2 minutes. You can apply glazes either by (a) dipping your bisqued piece into the glaze or (b) brushing it on. Our glazes are ready to apply with a brush. If you're looking to dip, we recommend applying a dispersing agent like . Removing all dust from your bisque-fired piece is critical to ensure a good outcome. Clean moist sponges are best. Make sure your piece is completely dry before glazing! Ceramic glazes are classified according to a temperature range ("cone") in three general groups: "low-fire," "mid-fire," and "high-fire." Over-firing will damage the piece/possibly the kiln, and under-firing will just give you ugly results. One of the fascinating aspects of ceramics is the slight variations we can achieve by using different clay bodies, glaze types and firing methods. It's like vintage film photography - you don't know what it'll look like until you get it out of the kiln! Glazes will react differently (and look different) depending on several factors, including: The temperature at which they're fired: even small changes in temperature can lead to different outcomes. The clay body on which the glaze is applied: the same glaze will look different if applied to a darker vs. lighter clay. The speed at which your kiln reaches the target temperature. How much oxygen is in the kiln's atmosphere while firing. That is why ceramics is an art! We recommend you experiment with different approaches and, most importantly, embrace the uncertainty. You will have a lot of fun seeing different results! : our company was founded by and run by potters. We conscientiously manufacture our products in New Hampshire, USA. We love getting our hands dirty while we share our love for the ceramic arts! : we founded Penguin Pottery in 2020 with a simple mission: to increase access to the ceramic arts, while doing so in an ecologically-responsible manner. To that end, we donate 1% of our sales to environmental groups working hard to protect our planet for future generations. CERF+ is the leading US non-profit organization providing emergency relief funds, educational programs, advocacy, and networking opportunities to safeguard artists' livelihoods nationwide. ## Features - COLOR PROFILE - Amethyst Purple is a glossy glaze with a rich lavender base and soft transitions into deeper violet tones. The surface features light variations that add visual depth and dimension. Its smooth, reflective finish enhances the vibrant purple color for a striking, polished look. - CONE 5–6 MID-FIRE - Formulated for mid-fire kilns at cone 5 and cone 6 (about 2167–2232Β°F). Always fire in a calibrated pottery kiln, never a kitchen oven, so your results match the swatch. - GLOSSY, SEMI-TRANSLUCENT FINISH - Fires to a glossy shine that lets some of the clay body show through, so color deepens where the glaze pools over edges, carving and texture. - READY TO BRUSH & BLEND - Ready to brush straight from the jar. Blend with colors in the same series to make new glaze colors, or layer it with other glazes for new effects. - ART MATERIAL - Conforms to ASTM D-4236 art materials standard. Suitable for surfaces that come into contact with food or drink when fired to the specified cone on the product label. Crazing, pinholing or blistering makes a surface unsuitable; test your own clay and firing. - CONSCIENTIOUSLY MANUFACTURED - At Penguin Pottery, our core values are simple: manufacture responsibly in the USA, craft exceptional products, and support the pottery community by donating 1% of our sales to school programs, community centers, and disaster relief for artists. - LIFETIME WARRANTY - Penguin Pottery products are backed by our Lifetime Warranty.
