How to choose a glaze
Four choices narrow hundreds of glazes to a short list. The finder above asks the same ones.
- Match your firing. Like clay, every glaze is made for a firing range. Low-fire glazes mature at cone 06–04, mid-range at cone 4–6 and high-fire at cone 8–10. Raku glazes are made for a raku firing. Fired too hot, a glaze can run. Fired too cool, it stays dry and rough.
- Glaze or underglaze? Glazes give a pot its surface. Underglazes are for painting color and designs, usually on greenware or bisque, and are often covered with a clear glaze.
- Color and finish. Pick gloss, satin, matte or textured, then a color family. The photo is a guide. Color shifts with your clay, how thick you apply the glaze, and your kiln. Floating, flux and reduction-look glazes change the most, especially when layered.
- How much? A pint is good for trying a color. Gallons suit colors you use often and classrooms. Some glazes also come dry, in 5 or 10 lb bags, to mix with water yourself.

Common questions
Why doesn’t my glaze look like the photo?
Your clay, how thick you apply the glaze, and your firing all change it. Make a test tile on your own clay before glazing a whole piece.
How many coats should I brush on?
For most brushing glazes, about three even coats. Check the label on the jar.
Can I layer glazes?
Yes. Many, like Amaco Potter’s Choice, are made for it. Layered glazes tend to run, so test first and keep thick layers away from the foot.
Do I need a clear glaze over underglaze?
Not always. Some underglazes, such as Amaco Velvet, can be fired on their own for a soft satin look. Add a clear glaze when you want shine.
