Amaco 35401D Potter's Choice Glaze, PC-20, 1 pint Jar, Blue Rutile

Expensive but lovely

Happy with price and product

Hi I did not like the glaze at first then found out I had not applied it thick enough. I had a gallon of it given to me as a gift so I wanted to figure out how to use it. It is such a pretty blue and the brown shows on the parts that are not covered as thick. The rims of bowls would be hard to keep blue but to me the brown with the blue is just very pretty. Also if you look at my pictures, the small bowl was a very dark brown clay, the others were light colored clay so that makes a difference in the outcome. I tried it over another color with bad results but now have looked at Amoco's web site and they show you colors with blue rutile on top or under other colors so I will experiment moreI am a retired math teacher, this is one of my hobbies.I fired it to cone 06 for the bisque and then cone 6 for the glaze. The small plate was a single fire to cone 6 all the others I bisque fired first.

This glaze is a favorite! It’s convenient to order this way, when I live far away from any pottery supply stores.

It’s a really pretty cone 6 glaze. Depending on the results you want, you just layer it thinner or thicker. The thinner areas appear brown and if you layer it thicker, the bluer it becomes. If you look at my photo, the bottom coaster has 3 layers. The top one also has 3 but is layered thicker in some areas to create those different effects. I will definitely have to try this glaze with 5-6 layers to see how blue it can go!

The one thing to remember with this glaze is that you need to put it on heavily as it turns brown if you put on less than 3 coats.
