Instructions

This is a very versatile base glaze. I didn’t formulate it myself, but I can’t recall the source. I automatically add 10% Zircopax to get an opaque white, and 5–10% Mason stains. This glaze is opaque enough on the red clay body that I use that I don’t need to prime the surface with a white slip. All of my work is bisque fired to cone 1 and glaze fired to 04. When I glaze, I use a little squeeze bottle to deposit glaze onto the surface (this helps it adhere better than brushing or dipping). I usually add a splash of CMC gum solution as well. 

For Teal, add Mason Stain 6219 French, as shown in recipe.

For Light Pink, add Mason Stain 6029 Lobster, as shown in recipe.
