Penguin Pottery Glow In the Dark Glazes

Individual Glazes and Glaze Sets from Penguin Pottery Supplies

This collection features a range of vibrant, opaque, low-fire glow in the dark glazes available in 118ml and 473ml bottles. Colours include Aqua, Blue, Green, Mauve, Orange, Pink, Purple and Yellow, each formulated to brush on smoothly and fire to a durable, glossy finish. Perfect for functional ware, decorative ceramics, pottery classes and creative projects, these glazes deliver striking results in daylight before glowing brilliantly in darkness or under ultraviolet light.

For themed makes, certain shades lend themselves particularly well to specific projects. Aqua and Blue Glow are ideal for underwater and celestial designs, while Purple and Mauve create softer luminous effects perfect for fantasy-inspired pieces and seasonal displays.

If you’re looking to experiment with multiple colours, the Penguin Glow in the Dark Glaze Set #1 offers a convenient combination of four coordinated shades, making it easy to test different effects, layer glazes and create cohesive collections.

Why Choose Penguin Pottery?

Potclays is delighted to partner with Penguin Pottery, bringing their innovative range of ceramic glazes to the UK for the very first time. Founded in Vermont, USA in 2020 by a team of expert potters, Penguin Pottery was created with a mission to make ceramic arts more accessible, sustainable and responsible. Their commitment extends beyond beautiful finishes, with eco-friendly packaging, mindful manufacturing and initiatives such as 1% for Schools, helping support underfunded ceramics education.

Alongside their glow in the dark range, Potclays also stocks Penguin’s distinctive Speciality ^5–6 glazes, renowned for their captivating layered effects, rich movement and surface variation. We’re also introducing Penguin’s refillable wax resist pens with interchangeable round and chisel tips, plus a 473ml wax refill, providing a practical and more sustainable solution for precision decoration and controlled glaze application.

Why Use Glow in the Dark Glazes?

Glow in the dark ceramic glazes open creative possibilities that conventional glazes simply can’t achieve. Whether you’re creating Halloween decorations, children’s pottery, contemporary art pieces or decorative homeware, these glazes add a striking luminous effect that transforms once the lights go down.

Use them across an entire piece or apply them to highlight carved details, sgraffito decoration, lettering, underglaze patterns or textured surfaces. Their glossy finish also works beautifully alongside other low-fire glazes, allowing you to build layered effects that reveal a completely different character in daylight and darkness. With straightforward application and reliable firing results, they’re an excellent choice for beginners, educators and experienced ceramic artists alike.
