Guidelines for Using Laguna Glazes
Cone 5 Glazes
*always test before using in production.
* Most of the lead free Cone 5 glazes Laguna offers are formulated to be fired in oxidation.
* Each has its own distinct surface quality, which will change in relation to the clay body you choose and method of application you employ.
* If you find the glaze is too thick straight from the container, Laguna recommends portioning what you intend to use into another container and thinning with water to the desired consistency.
* Always test your application and firing method when using new glazes and clay bodies.
* Laguna's Moroccan Sand liquid glazes are formulated for brushing and have been the standard for Cone 5 glazes since the 1970's.
* This mature series features over 100 glazes in a wide variety of colors and surfaces-all are lead free, certified non toxic and dinnerware safe if fired properly on a compatible clay body.
* Many will give a reduction fired look to oxidation fired pieces.
* Laguna's Specialty Art Glazes, Crackle Glazes, Crystal Blossom Glazes, and Mystic Glazes offer a stunning variety of texture, mobility and mottling.
* Within each group, Laguna offers the base glaze for a head start on a unique signature glaze to set off any one of our Cone 5-6 Clays and porcelains.
** All of these glazes are lead free and certified non toxic.
** Crackle glazes are not considered dinnerware safe due to the possibility of bacterial growth in the cracks.
Cone 10 Oxidation
* Most stoneware glazes can be fired in oxidation.
* Cone 10 oxidation firings come into play when more controlled, stable and reliable results are needed.
* Many commercial manufacturers employ high fire oxidation to produce durable ware with consistent results.
* Items like fine dinnerware, jewelry and sanitary ware are often fired in this range and atmosphere
