HF-171 Amethyst
Amethyst is an opaque, dark purple glaze that has a consistent, reliable result that is great for classrooms. Due to the purple pigment Amethyst might lose some of the rich purple color when fired at a higher temperature. Several artists have experimented with this glaze in wood, soda, and salt at temperatures up to cone 12, which yielded great results! Make sure you always test when exploring alternative firings for any of AMACO's glazes.
HF-10 Clear
Clear is a shiny bright glaze with zinc which makes a tougher glaze surface. A fabulous liner glaze or for use with saturated orange, red, and yellow underglazes. Zinc may cause some underglaze pigments to shift in color.
