Transparent Amber Cone 6 Glaze with Warm Brown Depth
Amber Clear C6 Pro Series Dry Glaze fires to a transparent amber gloss that builds into deeper honey-brown tones where the glaze gathers more heavily. Its warm, translucent surface works particularly well on thrown vessels, carved pottery and ridged forms, allowing the clay beneath and changes in application depth to remain part of the finished decoration.
Choose Amber Clear when you want the clarity of a transparent glaze with more warmth and visual depth than a colourless clear finish. Kiln atmosphere is an important variable, as reduction firing can shift the result towards a classic dark temmoku brown, so test the intended clay and firing process before larger work.
- Keep labelled test tiles for each clay body and firing atmosphere to compare colour response
- Evaluate layered glaze combinations on test pieces before production work
- Add a suitable brushing medium such as Veegum T when adapting the mixed glaze for brush application
