SW129 - Copper Float

Cone 6: (1st image) Copper Float glaze is a rich and complex midrange glaze with hues varying from reds, to coppers to gun metal blacks. Predominate coloration is a dark rusty red. The surface is satin-matte when fired to cone 5 or 6.

Cone 10: (2nd image) Finish flattens. Color changes to a warm brown with some copper mottling.

TIP: One coat will produce dark, greenish tones, thicker coats will add greens. Thickest applications will result in metallic red hues.

Stoneware classic glazes offer the depth, sophistication and reliability to artists working from mid-range to high-fire temperatures. Many glazes will break over textures, revealing secondary colors and shades. Used alone, stoneware glazes produce beautiful color variations. One coat will allow the clay body to show through the glaze and two to three coats deeper the color. The choice of clay body, thickness of glaze application, firing process and temperature will affect the fired finish.
