Warm Orange and Blue-Grey Crystalline Effects
Mars Landing C6 Pro Series Crystalline Glaze develops a warm orange-brown ground broken up by blue-grey crystal formations and deeper colour around the rim and lower edges. The contrast between earthy warmth and cooler crystalline areas gives tall vessels, angular forms and simple shapes a strongly defined fired surface.
Choose Mars Landing when you want a more pronounced warm-and-cool contrast than a softly blended or single-colour crystalline glaze. Crystal growth and glaze movement respond to application thickness, clay body and firing conditions, so test the complete combination before important work and follow the supplied firing schedule.
- Use a glaze catcher or sacrificial support because crystalline glazes can run during firing
- Record test-piece thickness and firing settings to compare crystal development between firings
- Add Powder Gum Arabic as required when a thicker application consistency is needed
