These glazes have a smooth, unique stone-like surface when fired over
a Cone 04 bisque. The ST glaze series flows a little in the
firing, settling in the crevices and towards the bottom of a vertical
surface. Therefore, when applied over a textured surface they will
produce antique-like variations or a weathered and worn out look on the
higher relief areas of the piece. Because they move slightly, care
should be taken to taper down the glaze application towards the bottom
of the piece so that the piece will not stock to the kiln shelf during
firing. When applied over red clay, the clay color showing through
the high relief contrasts and blends with the glaze color and the entire
piece is enriched by the warm undertones.
Best applied
over Cone 04 bisque. Recommended firing temperature is Cone 05,
however they could be fired lower to Cone 06 or higher to Cone 04 to
produce different effects. Do not be afraid to experiment.
Can also be used by applying over or under other glazes like the LG or
DG series or within their own series. All are AP non-toxic except
23, 25, 40, and 42.
