AMACO® Opalescent Glazes

AMACO® Opalescent Glazes can be used very effectively in Raku firing. Although Opalexcent Glazes may be used on any AMACO® clay, they develop their greatest opalescence and most interesting textures when applied over red burning AMACO® Indian Red Clay No. 67. Most of the AMACO® Opalescent Glazes have a high gloss with an iridescence similar to mother-of-pearl. Best results are achieved with three or four applications of glaze. On textured ware, the glaze flows thin on relief and thick in incised areas, giving an added dimension on the surface.
