Beachcomber Mid-range Glaze Flight

Fires to CONE 4 - 6

*** SHIPS FREE IN THE U.S.! ***

Take a deep dive into ceramic surface exploration with our Beachcomber Glaze Flight, a curated set of six unique studio glazes in convenient pint sizes that echo the colors and textures of our PNW beaches. Perfect for potters and ceramic artists who want to experiment with rich textures, subtle sheens, and dynamic color interplay, this collection is a journey through earthy tones, interesting textures, and eye-catching speckles.

Each flight includes 6 wet pints (one each of Molasses, Speckled Ivory, Blue Satin, Green Satin, Moss Black, and Metallic Brown). Like all our flights, it ships for free in the U.S.

Included in this glaze flight:

SP12 Molasses: A deep, luscious brown with the rich, syrupy goodness of its namesake. This glaze creates a warm, organic (can we say a little mid-century retro?) finish that’s ideal for rustic ware or accent pieces.

SP31 Speckled Ivory: Creamy and inviting with natural, speckled variation. A studio staple for layering or letting its subtle complexity shine on its own. Because of the particulates, make sure to mix this glaze extremely well! 

SP34 Blue Satin: A silky, soft-touch blue with a gentle sheen—a bit like the sky after the clouds clear. This satin finish glaze serves serene, sophisticated calm.

SP36 Green Satin: Organic and leafy, this smooth green satin glaze brings nature’s tones to your work with an lovely soft green that breaks tan. Excellent layering potential.

SP51 Moss Black: A moody, textural black with mossy undertones that shift with thickness and firing. A versatile glaze for bold forms and dramatic contrast. Because of the extra particulates in this glaze, be sure to mix extremely well!

SP59 Metallic Brown: Rich and reflective, this glaze creates a metallic sheen over a rich, warm red-brown base, perfect for statement pieces and experimental surfaces.

Whether you're testing combos or searching for the perfect stand-alone finish, this flight offers a tactile and visual playground for your next ceramic project.

Glazes are designed to form a sealed glass layer when fired in order to make pottery watertight and food safe, even if the clay itself isn’t vitrified. A layer of minerals that is applied to clay in the bisqueware stage, it is also a great way to add color and sheen. Glazes range from transparent to completely opaque. Mid-range glazes, such as this, should be used on mid-range clay (meant to be fired to cone 6 - 4).

To apply: Brush or dip onto bisque-fired pottery (pottery that has been fired to cone 06 - 08). If brushing, apply three layers, alternating the direction of the brush strokes with each layer to create a smooth finish. Let dry completely between each coat— (until it completely loses its sheen). If dipping, dip and hold for three to five seconds, then remove from the glaze and shake off the excess. A second layer can be applied but 3 or more layers will result in the glaze running off the pot. Let dry completely between each coat. Fire to cone 4 - 6.

If the consistency seems thick, add water to thin it down. If too thin, leave the container open to let some of the moisture evaporate. Note that mixing glazes together or applying one on top of the other may cause the glazes to react differently than you expect. We recommend that you always test a new glaze combination to see how it performs.
