Glossy Blue-Brown Mid-Fire Glaze for Variegated & Layered Effects
Blue Tiger’s Eye Speedball Mid-Fire Glaze develops a glossy, highly variegated surface with cascading blues and warm rutile-brown undertones. It responds strongly to texture and glaze thickness, allowing raised details, recessed areas and heavier application to produce noticeable shifts in colour rather than a flat, uniform blue finish.
Firing temperature also changes the result. The supplied Cone 5 test shows darker deep-brown and dark-blue variation, while Cone 6 produces lighter blue variegation with brown where the glaze is thinner. Blue Tiger’s Eye is also well suited to layering, with the supplied Cone 6 examples showing distinct results over Blackcurrant, Blue Topaz, Blushing White and Sea Glass.
- Stir thoroughly before use and apply three heavy coats for the supplied standard test result.
- No slow cooling is recommended for the supplied firing test.
- For the shown layering combinations, apply two coats of Blue Tiger’s Eye over two coats of the chosen base glaze and fire to Cone 6.
- Follow the specific firing instructions for your kiln and glazing process.
