Studio Line Crystalline Stoneware Effect Glaze – Smoky Quartz (550ml)
Studio Line Crystalline Stoneware Glazes are high-temperature ceramic glazes designed to create dramatic
crystal formations within the glaze surface during firing. As true crystalline glazes, each firing
produces completely unique results, with crystal size, shape and movement varying depending on application
thickness, clay body and firing schedule.
Smoky Quartz is a rich, earthy crystalline glaze featuring deep brown and charcoal tones with organic,
stone-like crystal formations. This colour works beautifully on sculptural forms, rustic tableware and
natural clay bodies, creating depth and movement that feels raw and geological.

Basic application: Stir well before use. Apply by brush, sponge or stamp as a top coat.
Apply 2–3 coats depending on desired crystal effect, allowing each coat to dry fully.
Due to fluidity, reducing glaze thickness at the base of your piece is advised.
Larger crystal growth can be encouraged using controlled cooling and soak schedules.
A full Cone 7 firing schedule can be used for enhanced crystal development.
Please note: Fired results will vary. Crystal size, colour and distribution are influenced by clay body,
glaze thickness, firing cycle and kiln atmosphere. Sample images are indicative only.
