Mayco Jungle Gems Crystal Glaze Set 4 oz- 12 Jars Classroom Pack for Ceramics, Pottery, Painting, Artists, Teachers

I’ve been using Marco glazes for 30 years, they never disappoint.

Love these glazes. The range for firing is wide so it works for both low fire and mid fire clay. Colors are bright and vivid. I included a color swatch with labels. I disliked that they didn't have the swatches labeled on their Amazon photos. I sometimes layer these with a base color and then two coats of jungle gems on top. The lighter glazes allow the base color to peek through. I've noticed some people received packages where the jars have leaked. My jars came in a manufacturer box that was nestled in an Amazon box. One strip of paper padding, which wasn't much, and the box was delayed because of snow (inclement weather). I must have gotten lucky because all jars were in good shape. The lid was loose on only one but there's an inner seal on them.

I fired this at cone 06. I needed a visual. I tried to stir the glaze so I got crystals in every sample and I like the way they turned out at 06, that’s not being a vessel that required it to be food safe. It was a fun assortment and I will definitely use it again.

I am a full-time production potter and I use Mayco Jungle Gems on my wall curio shelves. I fire my wall pieces at a lower temperature than the rest of my work as they don't need to be microwave or dishwasher safe. I also didn't want to have to test mixing dozens of new glazes in order to get a few that I liked. So I use commercial glazes from time to time for ease and variety. These small jars are priced very well and it gives me a few colors to play with without much commitment. Tip: I have fired my shelves laying down and standing up (as they would hang) and the crystals get way more movement when the pots were standing up vertically. When they were fired lying down they were more spotted, vertically they get some good movement. I also paint one good coat all over the piece (except back that's not glazed) and then I paint 2 more layers on but for each extra coat, I stop a little further from the bottom. This allows the glaze to flow, but not run off the pot and onto your shelf. Still, these glazes are designed to move, so do be mindful when painting near the bottoms of pots.

I used these for a class and then my grandchildren to glaze ceramic mushrooms we made. They look much better at cone 06 then cone six. But still look good except for one, The royal something or other…. has no specs even at con 06. and it’s not a really pretty blue either. The rest of them are wonderful! Make for cute mushroom caps.

Amazing glazes, I'd buy them again.

Great

Great glazes that come out absolutely gorgeous. Only complaint is there is no way of knowing which glaze aligns to which color on the item image, but that is easily solved by running test chips.

Beautiful colours, easy to work with it.

Super tolle Farben mit echt schönen Effekten. Schade dass es nur so wenig Auswahl bei Amazon von Mayco gibt.

This is a unique product leaving lovely patterns on my pottery.

These are some of my favourite glazes for small pottery items. You get a good range of colours.

Having to return as only received 4 different colours instead of the 12 as described
