Mitzuuu89 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I really like this light blue glaze and looking to make something similar. Has anyone seen a similar glaze? What are some good glaze sellers in Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzuuu89 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Do you think it’s achievable with Amaco satin line? https://pin.it/vrnjnootnbziqh SM-20 Light Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liambesaw Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Looks like a satin glaze with Robin's egg stain or something like that. I think it would be easy to achieve if you mix your own glazes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hi and welcome! The glaze you're referencing should work, as long as it's on a porcelain or other very light coloured clay. Just so we can give you the best answers for your situation, where in Europe are you located, and are you used to purchasing glazes premade, or are you mixing your own?

Mitzuuu89 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I’m located in Romania, so far i’ve tried mixing a matte white glaze with a blue pigment 1%, but it feels more glossy, not this satin look. clay is also very light colored, almost a pinkish look.

Mitzuuu89 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Hmm Amaco satin line fires at 1200 degrees (cone 5/6) the clay i used needs to burn at 1020-1080 degrees (cone 4), so i guess the Amaco glaze is not an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Sweet Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Mitzu- You might be able to achieve a little less gloss in your glaze with a slower cool down. Slowing the temperature descent may give time for crystals to develop, resulting in a more matt surface. The color in your second photo seems a little more intense than that in your first one. Try a progressive line blend from 0.25 - 1.0% of the “pigment” in your base glaze, to narrow in on your target result. Regards, Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would look for a lowfire earthenware matte base, not the midrange Amaco cone 5/6 one. You might need to fire your clay to maturity at cone 03 first then use a 06/04 glaze. Some matte glazes are super sensitive to firing temperatures because they rely on the mattness from the glaze being underfired. Not an ideal situation but it happens. Orton cone chart in F and C here if it helps. edit: can you get Amaco Low Fire Matte glazes? Have a look at the Dove Gray, looks similar to what you posted. You could blend the matte with some low fire gloss if the matte is too dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Fireborn Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Looks like a very thick application of a matte glaze with .5-1% of robins egg mason stain. Probably with a nice 5-6 added hour slow cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natalie at perth Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 IN the picture it looks more slightly greenish, perhaps if you mixed your satin white glaze powder with the tiniest amount of copper carb, I would suggest .0025 per kg of glaze powder Or if you are wanting greenish, then Copper carb in a tiny amount, but there are Robin's blue glaze recipes on internet, which might give you some indication of how much colourant to add to your stable already glaze recipe I love your turquoise range colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitzuuu89 Posted May 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Ordered some mason stains from scarva.com, and managed to do some test samples. Attached pics for Mason Robin’s Egg 1%, 2%. Satisfied with the 1%. thank you for the suggestions everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
