Earthy Brown Ash Character Inspired by Wood Firing
Brown Ash C6 Pro Series Dry Glaze develops layered earthy brown and rust-toned variation with a mottled ash-style surface designed to suggest the character of wood-fired pottery. Its natural-looking movement suits ribbed vessels, textured planters and rustic ceramic forms, where the changing tones can emphasise throwing lines, contours and surface detail.
Choose Brown Ash instead of a cleaner, uniformly coloured brown glaze when you want greater tonal variation and an ash-inspired response to the clay beneath it. Test the glaze on the intended stoneware before larger work because it can move and develop a darker result on some bodies, while brighter clay bodies and porcelain generally show the brown variation more clearly.
- Use labelled test tiles to compare the fired response across different clay bodies
- Allow for possible glaze movement when testing unfamiliar stoneware bodies
- Test planned layered combinations separately before larger studio work
