1. Glaze Notes

2. Types of Glaze:
Gloss Glaze - Contains glass. Produces a glass like shine. Colors are labeled as a description. (Ex. Fu Manchu - Reds, Whites, Oranges). Look at the color sample not the name. May only be used on bisque ware.
Under glazes - Contains no glass, has a matte finish. These are the color that is on the label. (Ex. Red is red). They can be used on either bone dry or bisque ware.
Pink or Mint Green Over Glaze - A clear gloss for under glaze. It is a color when you put it on so you can see where you have put it. In the big white bucket for dipping. Or the Era bottle for pouring.

3. Glaze tools:
Palettes - Used to hold and mix glazes. Do not let glazes get cross contaminated in the jars.
Brushes - Brushes
Glaze Tongs - Used to dip fired under glaze pieces in the gloss over glaze.
