Mayco Raku Glaze – Oil Slick (16 oz)

 

Oil Slick develops a mix of dark blue, green, and purple tones following a proper raku firing. Due to the unpredictable nature of this firing technique, results will vary with every firing.


Mayco Raku glazes are designed to develop beautiful metallic lusters and crackle patterns when fired according to raku firing processes. Raku glazes will not produce the same results in a typical electric firing – must encounter a raku environment. Due to the unpredictable nature of this firing technique, results will vary with every firing.

Chips shown are fired flat on a white clay body. The choice of clay body, the thickness of glaze application, the firing process, and temperature will affect the fired results.

 


Bubbling or pitting in raku glaze usually occurs when the glaze is heated too quickly. Rapid temperature increase can cause gases to form and escape through the molten glaze, leaving small craters or bubbles that don’t smooth out. To prevent this, slow down the heating rate during firing to allow the glaze to mature evenly and release gases more gradually.
