Red Glazes

Fuchsia

This dramatic glaze breaks into a medley of variegated hues in reds, purples and blues with touches of frosty white.

The playful nature of this glaze yields a pleasant variety of glaze effects. The unexpected breaking and gradients of colors make each piece distinctive.

Fuchsia is one of those glazes that needs a very thick coating of glaze. We have to be careful it isn’t applied so thick that it runs onto the kiln shelf.

Cranberry

Deep, rich red tones underlie a sparkling, glossy surface in this unusual glaze.

In our experimentation with reds, we happened onto this recipe which results in a high-gloss coverage of graduated red and cranberry tones. This glaze does best when applied as a thinly sprayed coat. This is unusual, for most reds demand a very thick coat. It is one of our newly developed glazes and looks quite promising for future combinations.

See also our line of Desert Tones pottery, which contains splashes of a deep green.
