    Description

    SW194 NIMBUS STONEWARE cLASSIC gLAZE
    Cone 6: Nimbus is a glossy, opaque, variegated blue glaze that breaks over texture and has an iridescent sheen. Blue micro-crystallization may develop.

    Cone 10: Glaze brightens to a variegated cyan that breaks green/brown over texture.

    TIP: This glaze is highly fluid at 3 coats. Anticipate glaze movement with receded application on vertical surfaces to prevent unwanted running. Prone to pinholes when fired on manganese clay bodies

    Stoneware Crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Fired results will vary based on ware’s orientation. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Stir with palette knife or other unpainted tool. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. Crystals will flow more than the base glaze. While the glaze is wet, use your fan brush to redistribute the crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pin-holing or running. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use.

    For premixed products:

    Stir well. Apply to soft-fired bisque(cone 04/06). Apply one, two or three coats depending on the result desired. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next coat. Fire to cone 5/6.

    Stoneware crystal glazes

    Our Stoneware glaze palette includes four glazes that contain small pieces of glass which create variegated color when fired. These glazes are beautiful by themselves, blending and pooling naturally over the clay form.  Glaze shown here: SW-115 Midnight Rain.
