Individual Glazes and Glaze Sets from Penguin Pottery Supplies
This collection features a range of vibrant, opaque, low-fire glazes available in 118ml and 473ml bottles. Available colours include Aqua, Blue, Green, Mauve, Orange, Pink, Purple, and Yellow. Each glaze is formulated to brush on smoothly and fire to a durable, glossy surface, making it ideal for functional ware, decorative accents, or children’s pottery activities.
Certain colours are excellent choices for specific themes. For example, aqua and blue glow are beneficial for underwater or celestial themes, while purple and mauve offer softer tones with strong luminous effects.
For those looking to explore multiple shades at once, the Penguin Glow in the Dark Glaze Set #1 offers a convenient combination of four coordinated colours. This makes it easy to test different effects, layer glazes, or create a cohesive palette across a series of ceramic pieces.
Why Use Glow in the Dark Glazes?
Glow in the dark pottery can be a perfect addition to themed days. These glazes adapt well to most pottery and ceramic workflows and perform consistently when fired in any standard pottery kiln.
Glow in the dark ceramic glazes open creative possibilities that conventional glazes cannot achieve. The fired glaze emits a soft, luminous colour in a dark room, enhancing everything from children’s keepsakes to contemporary art pieces. Potters can apply these glazes as the main surface decoration or use them sparingly to highlight carved details, sgraffito designs, edges, lettering, or underglaze patterns. Their translucent yet glossy finish complements other low fire glazes beautifully, enabling potters to build layered, dimensional surfaces that appear different in light and darkness.
Their immediate visual impact helps spark interest in pottery and ceramic processes. With straightforward application and predictable results, they make an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced makers.
