Layering with Potter’s Choice over Dipping & Layering Glazes!

Potter’s Choice is AMACO’s most popular glaze line for a reason—beautiful on its own and incredible when layered. Dipping & Layering (DL) glazes make the process faster and easier for production work. Start with a DL base coat, add your favorite Potter’s Choice glaze, and achieve the layered looks you love with less effort.

Here are some amazing results using PC glazes over DL glazes.

Reminder: All samples shown are on AMACO No. 11 A-Mix White Stoneware and fired to cone 6, no hold.

A variation on the classic combination of PC-31 Oatmeal over PC-33 Iron Lustre, Magic Purple creates all the unexpected colors even as it speeds up your glazing! For this version, we brushed two coats of PC-38 Iron Yellow over a single dip of DL-33 Low Tide.
