Snowfluff:
A white foaming type
texture glaze and completely matte. Snowfluff can be mixed with silica
sand and various other products for unusual and colorful effects. It can
be tinted into rich pastel shades with Amaco Underglazes or Amaco
Velvets. It is excellent to use for the base glaze in majolica.
Requires some stirring or mixing, but a heavy cream consistency is desired for
the textured effects. Apply to greenware or bisque by brushing or
sponging. Can be applied over, under or between unfired glazes for
unusual texture combinations. Cone 06-05. AP NonToxic in liquid
form.

White Pebble:
Has a pebbly appearance as it breaks up
into a pattern resembling pearl tapioca after firing. The break up is
dependent upon the application. May be used under, over or between other
glazes for varied and interesting effects and is also excellent for design
work. May be tinted with Amaco Underglazes or Amaco Velvets. Cone
06-05. Health Label in liquid form.

Overdrift:
An opaque, frosty white glaze, heavy in
consistency. It is indispensable in combination glaze techniques.
When used in combination work, Overdrift's strong white opacity partially
modifies the color tint of the base glaze. It renders a cascade of white
floats when applied over or under a glaze. It is also excellent on red
clay. Results are dependent upon the method and quality application and
the firing. Consistency should be like thick cream. Recommended
firing range is Cone 06-05, although it may be fired as high as Cone 6.
Health Label in liquid form.

White
Crawl:
White Crawl is a glaze that will crawl into irregular and very interesting
patterns when fired. The pattern will very depending on the thickness of
application. A heavier application will result in larger and wider
separations in the surface of the glaze, exposing larger areas of the
background, while a thinner application will result in a smaller, more
delicate pattern.
White Crawl can be used over, under or between other glazes. Beautiful
results can be achieved when used over underglazes, or to expand the color
palette, it may be tinted with liquid underglazes. Cone 06-05. AP NonToxic in liquid
form.

Black Onyx loves texture and will exhibit a beautiful iridescence much like that of oil floating on water. The dark black color makes soft transitions to a deep cobalt blue where it breaks on texture.

Arroya Glazes:
Textured and produce a unique
carved effect when fired. Designed for use over gloss and matte unfired
glazes, Arroya glazes are best applied with a fully loaded fan blender for
all-over coverage or with a sponge using a pouncing method. The heavier
the application, the larger the break-up effect and the more matte the
finish. Apply to Cone 04 bisque, fire at Cone 06-05. Not
dinnerware safe due to crackling which may collect bacteria.
