Mayco Stoneware Translucent (Dry)

Translucent glazes offer a special opportunity to build colour complexity in projects without obscuring the surface of the work. Mayco's range is formulated to flow smoothly and evenly, developing gentle movement and variation that enhances the character of every piece. With a wide spectrum of shades like Sapphire, Pink Opal and Amber Topaz, these Mayco glazes excel when applied in two to three brushing coats and respond beautifully over detailed textures or patterns.

When fired to Cone 6 in oxidation, they produce subtle, semi-transparent effects that allow textures, carvings, and underglaze decoration to shine. They are stable at mid-range temperatures and can be fired up to Cone 10, making them a versatile choice for any potter. Whether you're layering this glaze over slip, accenting handbuilt forms, or glazing thrown functional ware, these glazes provide dependable, elegant results across a range of clay bodies.

These glazes are particularly well suited to layering over other glazes and underglaze decorations. Their refined formulation ensures that colours remain clean and that the final surface retains a smooth gloss or satin matte finish.

As the glazes are supplied in dry form, users have added flexibility in managing viscosity and thickness of application, whether the glaze is used as a top coat or integrated into a surface design strategy. Each firing can bring out individual qualities, depending on temperature, application and the clay body.
