White Moon Rocks

SW460

Cone 6 oxidation (larger image): White dimensional, puffed texture in varying sizes.

Cone 10 reduction: Puffed texture may increase. Color darkens.

Tips for Use:

  • Layer Together: Moon Rocks can be layered with other Moon Rock colors to create stunning visual effects. Allow the first layer to set slightly (loses its glossiness) before adding the next. Alternate directions of coats (apply one layer vertically and the next layer horizontally). 1-2 coats of each color are recommended, but additional coats will produce a more pronounced puffed pattern.
  • Use with Underglazes and Engobes: Moon Rocks remains dimensional when applied over Underglazes and Stoneware Engobes, preserving its raised texture. For best results, it is recommended to bisque fire the Underglaze or Engobe to cone 04 before applying the Melt Gloop, as this helps with adhesion and ensures the glaze performs effectively during the final firing.
  • Layer with Stoneware Glazes: When used either under or over a glaze, such as Stoneware glazes, the texture may flatten during firing. Despite this change, the technique can still produce interesting and colorful effects.
  • Firing Range: Moon Rocks have a broad firing range from cone 5 to cone 10 (2167°F-2345°F /1186°C-1285°C) in both oxidation and reduction firings. Firing at higher temperatures may result in the glaze texture to increase and colors to darken. Because results can vary based on firing conditions and layering techniques, it’s recommended to test the glaze beforehand.
  • Dinnerware: Moon Rocks are not suitable for dinnerware due to surface texture. However, it can be used on the outside of functional ware, below the lip line.

Description

Moon Rocks is a stoneware glaze that produces a dimensional, texture in varying sizes. A heavier application will result in a more pronounced puffy pattern.

Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body fired to cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.
