 Transform your designs 

Snow Gems is a dimensional glaze that creates a white, textured surface with colored crystals. It is a non-moving glaze that can be applied using a brush or palette knife to create various textural effects and accents in your design work. Snow Gems have a wide firing range of cones 06-10 (999°C-1305°C / 1830°F-2381°F).

General Use

Shake well and stir before and between each application to keep crystals suspended and to achieve even crystal coverage.

Using a brush, apply 3 even coats to cone 04 earthenware or stoneware bisque, greenware, or clay.

To tint, brush one coat of Stroke & Coat®, Foundations®, or E-Z Stroke® color of choice over the Snow Gems or mix small amounts into the product.

Fire to shelf cone 06-10 (999°C-1305°C / 1830°F-2381°F) Snow Gems will perform the same at low, mid, and higher temperature firings.

Usage Variations and FAQs

What recommendations do you have for using Snow Gems with copper-based green glazes? 

Much like SG302 Snowfall, Snow Gems  will boil when applied on top of copper-based green pigments such as, FN-217 Evergreen Fire, FN-219 Lustre Green and FN-218 Green Sapphire. The fired Snow Gems may also become tinted (“bluing”) as the copper leaches into the glaze. Apply 2-3 coats of any of the copper green glazes leaving the area for the Snow Gems with out the green glaze and butt the Snow Gems up to the glaze.
