SW133 - Copper Ore

Cone 6: (1st image) Copper Ore is a highly mobile, reddish brown metallic glaze. A dark bronze field breaks with areas of darker coloring and flashes of brighter red metallic. The movement within this glaze produces striking visual textures.

Cone 10: (2nd image) Finish flattens. Color turns to red/brown. Increased movement.

TIP: This glaze WILL move. Take care when using on vertical pieces – reduce glaze thickness towards the bottom third to minimize run-off.

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.
