Milton Bridge Raku Glazes

Milton Bridge Raku Glazes for Decorative Pottery

Milton Bridge Raku Glazes are specialist ceramic raku glazes for decorative pottery, offering metallic lustres, crackle patterns and unpredictable fired effects. This 10-glaze range is designed for makers who want expressive raku finishes where every firing can produce a different result.

These Cone 06 raku glazes can be fired in electric or gas kilns, with final results influenced by clay type, application thickness, firing method and post-firing reduction. They are a strong choice for decorative raku pottery, display pieces and ceramic work where surface variation is part of the appeal.

Apply three coats, stirring thoroughly and allowing each coat to dry before adding the next. Fire between 920°C and 1050°C for 30 minutes to an hour, then place the fired piece into a container of combustible media before cooling in water.

Application, Results & Safety

  • Glaze type: Milton Bridge raku ceramic glaze
  • Firing: Cone 06, approximately 920°C to 1050°C
  • Application: apply three coats, allowing each coat to dry between layers
  • Effects: metallic lustres, crackle patterns and varied raku surface finishes

Raku firing is naturally responsive, so each piece can differ depending on the glaze, clay body and reduction process. Test before using a new glaze on important work, especially when changing application thickness, firing method or combustible media.
