Great glittery black for high fire
Love this glaze. I use it at a community kiln fired to cone 6, and with 4 coats it came out great on several projects. Cool shimmery black that breaks dark bronze on texture. I did not have any issues with this glaze running (which I definitely can't say the same for some of the other "Cosmic" glazes).

Great glaze
Amaco does not fail. Bought from Blick Art Materials if I remember correctly-they are my go to for glazes. Fired at cone 6 in an electric kiln, lovely flow, breaks beautifully and for my purposes benefits from three coats generously applied. Love this!

Shimmery
I love the color of this glaze. It’s like a glittery black. Very high gloss and shimmery. I like to add reds and gold to give a great color combo when using this.

Amaco Sienna on Standard 112 Clay
I am so excited to see this color come out of the kiln and I will update this with a picture of it on a piece of Standard 112 midfire clay. It seemed like the perfect color for fall and pumpkins. Amaco always makes great colors (especially PC). It was easy to apply and went on smoothly. I am excited to see what it looks like fired. Amaco glazes always seem a bit pricey to me, but do always have good results- so we will see!

Good consistency
Good consistency. Honey flux adds a great touch when layering. Can’t wait to layer this with other Amaco glazes to achieve more color variations.

Pretty glaze, but not a lot of red.
Well, this is the first glaze I've ever bought from Amazon. I was lucky/blessed enough to not have it burst over the entire container during shipping, but it did leak from the bottle a little bit. I bought this mainly to try a brushing glaze that my local studio doesn't have and I'm not exactly displeased with it, but I wish I saw more red color that other people have gotten out of it. The way the glaze seems to behave on white/brown clay body is that most of the walls are going to be black and they will slowly become olive green/red on the way down towards the bottom. The bottom of everything I've glazed has been red, which means the glaze tends to pool at the bottom where you get that red color. I experienced quite a bit of blistering on both of these clay bodies, more so on the white, and I'm not sure if that's just due to the thicker application I went for on the glaze or if it's genuine clay/glaze disagreement. On a red clay body, that difference is that the black/olive green are more mottled and they give you more of a random look but it doesn't improve the looks of the red part of the glaze at all. The one piece I glazed is not quite out of the kiln, but I did peek at the results and I didn't immediately notice any blistering. I'd say if you love a mostly black glaze with hints of olive green and red, this is a good glaze for you. If you were wanting a more red effect out of it, you're not going to get it. I will say this is a very stable glaze, only running a little bit on bowls, but not too much. I suppose Ancient Copper is likely the better candidate for something closer to resembling a red if you were looking to stay with Amaco.

Honey Flux is an essential part of my studio
Honey flux is amazing and the fact that I ran out of my stock is just sinful! This glaze is a staple for my work and I needed it quickly to meet a deadline. I couldn’t be happier that it arrived and the deadline was met.
