Jungle Gems Crystal Glaze - Blue Azure, Pint

Maravilhoso. A cor é divina

Excellent, beautiful results.

Very pretty!

This glaze is great when fired correctly at cone 06! Mayco Jungle Gems Crystal Glaze - Blue Azure is semi-translucent with blue/green crystals. I was pretty heavy handed with how much I used for each coat and I didn’t get that milky look that can show up from using too much glaze; which is great for someone new (like myself) to art. I did notice a dimpling affect where the crystals burst, but that should probably be attributed to my inexperience rather than to the product itself. I did find that I had to forcefully break up the crystals from the bottom of the bottle and stir to get them to distribute throughout the glaze which could account for some of the issues others have reported. I also shook the bottle between coats to keep the crystals from settling while the first coat dried. This was the only product I found for low fire work that mimicked the color play found in some of the high fire glazes. Overall, I’m very pleased on how my class projects turned out. For my small dragonfly bowl and the turtle in the larger bowl, I used 2 coats of Mayco Elements – Sea Green for the base and then 2 coats of the Blue Azure. For the water around the turtle, I used 2 coats of Mayco Elements – Mirror Blue for the base and then 2 coats of the Blue Azure. I think both came very close to the examples found on the Mayco website. The website has a section for glaze combinations that is extremely helpful to see how this glaze reacts with different base glazes. The site also shows how their glaze presents fired at cone 06 and cone 6. I would definitely recommend this product!

Great product with satisfying results. Fired on a cone 04 I painted a thick layer and let it dry. A second thick layer was added.
