| The new Spectrum Price list is effective March 15th. Consistent with prior annual price adjustments made by Spectrum Glazes, many products have very minimal or even no price adjustment for the coming year. However, glazes such as the original Low Stone Glazes and satin glazes in the 1100 series, have sharp price increases ranging from 10% to as much as 21% due to the dramatic price increases for zinc oxide. Spectrum is also eliminating 46 low-fire glaze colors from various glaze lines, as well as eliminating 4 ounce bottles in low-fire glaze lines. These deletions are due to the fact there are "some products and sizes that just do not sell". These deletions are critical to make room for NEW Spectrum color products: Spectrum announced 37 new Low Stone Glazes at the end of August. Those new LOW STONE glazes have been on Dogwood's shelves since September and have been a huge success. Spectrum will be releasing a wall poster to be distributed at the NCECA and NAEA trade shows in mid-March. Dogwood Ceramic Supply will be receiving 250 copies of the free poster to distribute to our showroom customers. Spectrum is also introducing 24 Superwriter Pens. Superwriters use the new RAC bottle design and are loaded with the most popular colors of 400 series SuperStrokes Underglaze. Dogwood will be adding the Superwriters to our Spectrum product lines in the coming weeks. The color pallets for the low-fire glaze lines are being refreshed with 25 new plain Low-fire glazes in the Opaque Gloss Glazes (700 series) and Translucent Gloss Glazes (800 series). |
