Opaque Satin Cone 6 Glaze with Black-to-Green Variation
Black Orbit C6 Pro Series Dry Glaze fires to an opaque satin surface that moves from deep black to chrome green, with restrained golden-bronze hints and crystallised areas where the glaze pools more heavily. This dark, layered character works particularly well on ribbed vessels, carved surfaces and sculptural forms where changes in thickness can emphasise contours and recessed detail.
Choose Black Orbit when you want more colour movement than a uniform black satin glaze while keeping the overall result dark and restrained. Test the mixed glaze on the intended clay body before larger work, as application thickness, pooling and firing conditions can alter the balance of black, green, bronze and crystal development.
- Use test tiles to compare even and pooled applications before production work
- Record clay body and firing settings when repeatability matters across a batch
- Add a suitable brushing medium such as Veegum T when adapting the mixed glaze for brush application
