Cone 5-6. Pompeian Ash glazes have a unique formula that produces
a wiggly design pattern as they flow on the piece. This series has
to be fired to Cone 5-6 in an electric kiln. The result is similar
to ash glazes that have to be fired to Cone 10 in reduction. These
glazes reduce firing costs and eliminate the exposure to toxic materials
that are required with some Cone 10 formulas.
Apply these glazes by
brushing or dipping. Taper down the application to one coat towards
the bottom of the piece, to give room for the glaze to run. Fire
with a dry foot, on a kiln shelf that has been well coated with kiln
wash. Use stilts or place over a refractory brick to catch any glaze
that may overflow. With repeated use of these glazes, you will learn
to what extent to taper down to eliminate overflow. These glazes
work well over any stoneware or porcelain clay.
All are Lead Free. All are AP Non-Toxic except PA40 which has a
CL label.
