NEW! Cromartie Clear Dipping Glaze – Brilliant Shine & Easy Application

Introducing the brand-new Cromartie Clear Dipping Glaze, a UK-made, non-toxic pottery glaze designed to give your ceramics a beautifully glossy, professional finish. Ideal for studios, workshops and hobby potters alike, this easy-to-use clear ceramic glaze enhances the vibrancy of underglazes, brightens bisque surfaces and produces a crystal-clear fired finish that shows off every detail of your work.

With its forgiving application and reliable performance, Cromartie Clear Dipping Glaze is perfect for both beginners and experienced ceramicists. It applies smoothly when dipping, dries at a stable rate, and fires to a brilliant high-gloss surface while helping reduce the risk of crazing. Once fired correctly, it is also food and dinnerware safe, making it suitable for functional pottery as well as decorative pieces.

Cromartie Stoneware Clear Brush-On Glaze – Stunning Clarity & Gloss

For potters working with stoneware and porcelain bodies, the Cromartie Stoneware Clear Brush-On Glaze provides a reliable and beautifully transparent finish. This easy-to-apply glaze produces a smooth, high-gloss surface that enhances colour and depth while maintaining excellent durability.

Designed for practical studio use, the glaze brushes on easily and usually requires just one or two coats. It fires cleanly across a wide temperature range from cone 5/6 (approximately 1230°C) up to cone 10, performing well in both oxidation and reduction firings. The glaze moves just enough during firing to create depth and clarity while remaining stable and easy to control.

Pro tip: apply thin, even coats for the best results. Heavier applications may increase the chance of crazing, while lighter coats produce the most consistent glass-like finish.
