Blue-Green Two-Tone Glaze for Crisp Decorative Work
Mermaid Scales Gare Pottery Glaze creates a blue-green fired surface with a two-toned look and high gloss shine. It is a useful choice for bisque pieces where you want a natural, layered finish with more surface interest than a flat single-colour glaze.
This low-fire pottery glaze is described as non-reactive, so it flows less than a reactive glaze and can hold design work more cleanly on top. It works well on textured bisque, where glaze can settle into grooves to create depth, and can be paired with Fun Strokes for lettering, line work or extra decorative detail.
- Sponge ware before glazing to remove dust from the bisque surface
- Shake the bottle or jar well before use for a more consistent application
- Test pieces are useful before using new glaze combinations on important work
