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.
