Spectrum 900 Series Low-Stone Glazes

Cone 06-04 Low Fire

    The Spectrum Low Stone Glaze series consists of 62 reactive low fire glazes including earthy matte glazes, bright glossy glazes, vivid colored glazes, speckled glazes as well as metallic colored glazes. The commonality between all 62 glazes is their reactivity to their thickness of application, the shape and details of the ware as well as the firing temperature and soak. The complete line of Spectrum Low Stone Glazes are lead-free and food-safe when properly fired in oxidation (electric kilns) and most are nontoxic for safe use in the classroom. Additional product and technical information is at the bottom of this page. Spectrum Low Stone 900 Series Glazes are designed for brushing application and are packaged in gallons, wide mouth pints and 4 ounce sample bottles. The Spectrum Low Stone Glazes are formulated for Cone 06-04 firing, but for best results should be fired to 05 or 04.

General & Safety Information:
    Dogwood Ceramic Supply actively stocks the entire line of Spectrum 900 Series Low Stone Glazes in 4 ounce samples as well as pint bottles in our Gulfport Mississippi showroom and warehouse.  Gallons are available with an advanced order.  Volume discounts are available for purchases of pints or gallons of Spectrum 900 Series Low Stone Glazes.

Product Information:
    The entire line of Spectrum Low Stone Glazes (900 Series) are classified as Reactive Glazes.  Reactive Glazes, often referred to as "Art Glazes", are formulated to react during the firing to produce very interesting and beautiful effects.  Reactive glazes react to clay composition and color, whether fired on a vertical or horizontal surface, firing temperature and hold time, contact with other glazes, as well as application thickness and details in the surface of the ware.  In general, reactive glazes will readily flow (move) during the firing with the matte glazes generally moving the least amount and glossy glazes moving the greatest amount.  The Spectrum Low Stone Glazes are considered dinnerware safe as long as they are properly applied and there is a continuous vitrified surface after firing.

    The Spectrum Low Stone Glazes have a fairly broad firing range (cone 04-06), however, experience has shown that the glazes have a greater range of reaction and a smoother surface with fewer defects if fired to Cone 05 (or even hotter to Cone 04) with a modest amount of hold time (5-10 minutes) is added at the end of the firing program using a modern digitally controlled kiln from Paragon.

     The photo above is a kiln load of George Ohr inspired pots using Standard's S-101 Buff Clay fired in a modern Paragon TnF 27-3 to Orton Witness Cone 05 with 8 minutes of additional hold time added to the firing program.  The photo clearly shows the variety of results (ranging from soft mattes to bold vibrant gloss glazes) that can be achieved with the Spectrum Low Stone Glazes.  The Ohr-inspired pots were completed as part of the George Ohr Museum's outreach program to school-aged children following Hurricane Katrina.

    As Reactive Glazes tend to run in the firing, care should be taken with glaze being applied to a vertical surface. To keep the glaze from flowing off the ware, it is suggested that fewer coats of glaze should be applied on the lower surfaces of the vertical sides, or even leave a generous area unglazed.

    Spectrum's Low Stone Glazes are for low-fire usage only.  We suggest you take a peak at Spectrum's 1100 Series Stoneware Glazes if you are looking for high-fire glazes.

    Please note: Spectrum's products were designed for use with a moist clay body and all firing information within this website and on the product labels is specifically applicable to moist clay.  If you use Spectrum Low Stone Glazes with low-fire Mackie's or Standard's casting slip, a small change in the firing temperatures of the glaze and/or added hold time may be required to meet the technical specifications of the slip and glaze combination.

    Customers experiencing glaze issues should read have you heard my coat story for assistance.

Technical Warning:

    Due to significantly different expansion rates, the combination of Spectrum 900 Series Low Stone Glazes with gloss type glazes from Spectrum or other companies can result structural failure of the finished item.  If a glaze is needed to finish the interior of an item please use Spectrum 900 Clear Glaze to avoid problems.  The Spectrum 900 Clear Glaze is formulated specifically for use with the entire series of Spectrum Low Stone Glazes.

Project Hints:

    The Spectrum 900 Series Low Stoneware Glazes can be combined with Spectrum's Glaze Crystals to achieve a virtually unlimited color combinations.
