Brown & Bronze Glazes

Southwestern desert colors contrasted by a rich fluid green comprise this stunning glaze.

This glaze is a combination of six different colors, ranging from a hard, dry matte and a fluid high gloss, which create a beautiful effect of color as well as texture. All of the glazes are applied by airbrushing. This is quickly becoming one of our best-selling lines.

This design combines hand-carving, antiquing and bronzing with an added contrasting trim of shiny white or royal blue.

Each wheat design is carefully hand-carved into the clay body while the finished vessel is halfway dry and still in a leather-hard stage. We use several tools to carve the wheat kernels and the stalks. Once the carved piece fully dries and is bisqued, we antique the design with a wash of dark bronze glaze, wiping it off the vessel’s wall, but leaving the glaze in the creases of the design. We then glaze the rims to be a glossy white or a bright royal blue. As a finishing touch, we spray the vessel once again with a thin glaze that looks burnished once the vessel is fired.
