What are Glazes?
Glazes are a thin, glass-like layer applied to the surface of bisque-fired (pre-fired) clay. There are so many different types of glazes, each with unique characteristics.
Transparent glazes: Allow the underlying clay body to show through, adding subtle color and depth.
Glossy glazes: High shine and reflective surface.
Satin/Matte glazes: Low sheen or no sheen at all, creating a soft, velvety look.
Crystalline glazes: Develop beautiful crystal formations within the glaze layer, adding sparkle and dimension.
Opaque glazes: Create a solid, non-transparent layer, hiding the clay body and offering a wider range of vibrant colors.
Textured glazes: Create a rough, bumpy, or crackled surface. (Generally not food safe: check the label)
Metallic glazes: Infused with metal oxides to produce shimmering, iridescent effects. (Generally not food safe: check the label)
Glazes can be applied by dipping, brushing, spraying, or pouring. The firing process melts the glaze, fusing it to the clay and creating the final coating on pottery.
There are three different temperatures that pottery is fired to:
Low-Fire Glazes: Cone 04
Mid-Range Glazes: Cone 5/6
High-Fire Glazes: Cone 10

What are Stains?
Concentrated pigments made from a blend of metal oxides and frits. Mason stains add vibrant colors to glazes, allowing you to create a wider range of hues and effects than you could achieve with raw oxides alone. They are also more stable and predictable in their firing behavior.
