AMACO has told distributors that, because of raw material issues, it has discontinued the glazes below, effective immediately. They will no longer be made. Once current stock is gone, they're gone, so if one is a favorite, now is the time to stock up.
What's being discontinued

Every glaze in AMACO's Shino series. The ones we carry, while supplies last:
- SH-11 Chai Gloss and SH-12 Chai Matte
- SH-21 Acai Gloss and SH-22 Acai Matte

What this means for you
- Buy what you need now. We have limited stock of some of these and are out of others. Product pages show what's in stock. When a glaze sells out, we can't reorder it.
- Test a replacement before you need one. If a discontinued glaze is part of your regular palette, pick a few possible replacements and fire test tiles on your own clay body and firing schedule. We're happy to help you choose. Call us or stop by the store.
- Glazes you already own are fine. Discontinued doesn't mean anything is wrong with them. AMACO stopped making them because of raw material supply.
