Welcome to the Kiln Goddess' Clay Pit of Low Fire Commercial Glazes
Open up any clay and pottery supply catalog and you are greeted with a huge collection of low fire glazes to choose from. This is great to have so many to choose from but what glaze should you pick? This lens will hopefully help you wade thru the sea of color and glaze choices so you can find the one that will be perfect on your creation.
If you woulds like to submit a glaze review please scroll to the 'Glaze Review' section towards the bottom of the page.
This is a growing lens, one day I hope to have it be a great resource for clay artist and teachers using commercial glazes.

Kiln Type: Electric
User Likes: Not sure if I like this, it kinda reminds me of fired kiln wash but not quite as dry.
I decided to fire this glaze a bit higher than suggested. Since I bisque at ^04 I placed a glaze test in with my greenware. I like the surface of this glaze much better at cone 04. The surface became a bit more buttery and smoother, it is a much better glaze at ^04.
