AMACO Potters Choice Flux Brush On Glazes Cone 5/6
Create flowing colour and varied surface effects with AMACO Potter’s Choice Flux brush-on glazes for cone 5-6 firing. Use them on light or dark clay to accentuate texture, or layer with compatible glazes to develop blended colours and increased movement.
Flowing Colour with Potter’s Choice Flux Glazes
Based on the popular PC-17 Honey Flux glaze, AMACO Potter’s Choice Flux glazes bring soft colour variation and fluid surface effects to pottery. They can accentuate raised details and recessed patterns on both light and dark clay bodies, adding interest to carved decoration or creating gentle transitions across smoother forms.
Used individually, each shade offers its own combination of tones and surface effects. Layering with compatible glazes opens up further possibilities, allowing colours to mingle where they overlap. Potter’s Choice Flux glazes can be used as a base or top layer, helping to soften other colours and increase movement.
Designed for cone 5-6 firing, the range becomes more fluid toward the higher end. This heat response offers another way to develop movement and variation, but it also means the glazes can run. Refer to the individual glaze guidance for application and layering recommendations.
Potter’s Choice Flux glazes are food safe. AMACO uses synthetic bone ash, and its clay and glaze products are vegan.

Statement From AMACO Regarding Glaze Colour
Clay, glaze, and underglaze ingredients may experience colour, particle size, and other changes over time. This occurs due to natural variations in the mines from which raw materials come. Changes in manufacturing processes and suppliers can also be a factor.
