Inspired by Nature
Elements™ and Elements™ Chunkies produce lush, organic, and earthy hues. They vary from gloss to matte, with subtle variations occurring in each color.
Use Elements™ to create designs, use in layering, or apply as a natural backdrop to your artwork.
This high-performance glaze gives artists a wide variety of options in one product as glaze application, firing temperature and shape will influence the outcome of finished work.
Elements™ and Elements™ Chunkies were designed to simulate the aesthetic, movement, and interest of mid-range and high-fire glazes in a cone 06/05 oxidation kiln firing. Elements™ and Elements™ Chunkies can be combined or layered to create unique hues and vary from gloss to matte, with subtle variations occurring in each colors.
As a Standalone Glaze
Elements™ are stunning on their own. Vary the number of coats and ware used to achieve different variations of one glaze.
In Design
Elements™ may be used to create designs or applied as a natural backdrop to your artwork.
Glaze Combinations
Layer Elements™ colors when applying or use in combination with other glazes, such as Elements™ Chunkies, Stroke & Coat®, Foundations®, Jungle Gems™, or Stoneware to create unique looks.
With Designer Liner
Designer Liner designs will not move or blend when used over non-moving Elements™ glazes.
With Pottery Cascades™
Pottery Cascade™ act as a flux with Elements™ to create movement in the colors. Great visual effects are created when added under, over or in-between Elements™ or Elements™ Chunkies. Pottery Cascades are perfect for the low fire designer seeking to create the looks achieved at higher temperatures. Variability ensures that no two designs will be exactly alike.
Wide Firing Range
While formulated for cone 06/05 use, many of the Elements™ and Elements™ Chunkies glazes perform beautifully at higher temperatures. Refer to the individual color label for cone 6 firing performances. As Elements™ tend to flow at higher temperatures, the orientation at which your glazed ware is fired (flat vs vertical) can greatly impact the look. Due to the movement of the glaze, we recommend limiting the glaze on the bottom third of a vertical piece to avoid running off the ware. We recommend testing to determine color, surface characteristics and movement prior to use.
General Use
* Shake for five to six seconds before use. Dispense glaze onto a palette (tile, plate, etc.) and apply with a soft brush or decorating accessory of choice (sponge, stamp, etc.).
* Dipping your brush directly into the jar may contaminate the jar’s contents, especially if you are using other glazes. Apply three to four coats to your piece.
* Elements™ glazes were designed to mature at a shelf cone 06 (999° C or 1830º F).
* When applying them over a large surface area, we recommend a broad, soft fan brush. Moisten the brush with water first.The brush fully saturated (loaded) and each coat applied in the same direction.
When the wet look has gone from the first coat, you may apply the next coat of glaze.
* Be sure the glaze has dried thoroughly prior to firing.
* A medium ramp/firing rate is recommended (250°F per hour) at shelf cone 06. Elements™ can be fired at higher temperaturesbut will change in appearance.
* We recommend testing prior to use.
** Pottery Cascades® are AP Non-Toxic, Food Safe and Dinnerware Safe when used according to manufacturer’s directions
What are some basic tips for creating effects with Elements™?
* Apply to properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Use a soft fan or glaze brush, depending on the area and surface to be covered. Generally, three- four coats of glaze are recommended. However, applying four coats will produce a totally different look. For a different effect, brush on three coats and apply a final fourth coat using a silk or sea wool sponge. An uneven glaze application and the ware’s shape and surface (plain or embossed) will also affect the look of the glaze. Painting in a criss-cross fashion will effect the fired finish.
* When using Elements™ on the outside of a vase or cylinder, we recommend using Foundations® opaque, Foundations® sheer, or a clear glaze on the inside. Using Stroke & Coat™ may cause the piece to crack due to the stiffness of the glaze.
Are Elements™ lustre compatible?
When Elements™ are re-fired to lower lustre temperatures (shelf cone 018-020), the original glaze color changes. If this is not the desired effect you will not want to apply lustres over them. However, you may find the re-fired finishes to be desirable. Our advice is to experiment and make test samples using lustres with the specific Element™ glaze with which you are using.
Can I use Stroke & Coat® with Elements™?
If you choose to apply the two glazes, keep in mind that there will be chemical interaction between the glazes and Stroke & Coat® may change colors. Additionally, Elements® glazes move, so a design may lose the defintion. It is recommended to test.
What is the difference between Elements™ and Elements™ Chunkies?
Both Elements™ and Elements™ Chunkies have the same base glaze formula but the and Elements™ Chunkies contain crystals that will expand on the surface during firing.
What recommendations do you have for firing Elements™ to cone 6?
Many Elements™ create beautiful effects when used with stoneware in a cone 6 firing environment. Cone 6 color results can be found on the left-hand side of the label giving a description of the fired results at cone 6. Care must be used in the application as Elements will be quite fluid and move during the firing process. Keep away from the bottom of ware by tapering toward the bottom of the piece or create a natural stop with another glaze. Many of the Elements™ produce interesting effects at cone 6 but will change color. We recommend testing to determine color, surface characteristics, and movement prior to use. Testing should also be done to determine if this glaze fits the cone 6 clay body you are using.
