Brush-On Raku Glaze for Copper Matt Metallic Effects
Copper Matt Raku Brush-On Glaze is a liquid Milton Bridge glaze for adding a Copper Matt metallic-effect surface to ceramic work through Raku firing. Its variable fired response suits decorative pieces where changes in colour and appearance are an intentional part of the finished surface.
Choose the 500ml brush-on format when you want to apply the glaze directly rather than prepare a dry-powder mixture. Keep the application thickness consistent and test the complete firing and reduction process before important work, as the final appearance can vary considerably between firings.
- Use consistent brushwork when preparing comparison pieces
- Label test pieces with the application and firing details used
- Treat reference images as guidance rather than a guaranteed result
