Clays and Glazes

Crackle glazes enhance pottery with unique textures and visual appeal, created by differing expansion rates between glaze and clay, requiring careful selection for optimal results.

Refractory clay is essential for creating durable, heat-resistant ceramics, suitable for cookware and tiles, providing strength and resilience in high-temperature environments.

Matte glazes enhance pottery with a soft, non-reflective finish, offering durability and aesthetic appeal while requiring careful consideration of application methods and firing temperatures.

Air-dry clay allows pottery enthusiasts to create ceramics at home without a kiln, offering versatility, ease of use, and the potential for intricate designs.

Paper clay combines traditional clay with paper fibers, offering lightweight strength, reduced cracking, and suitability for intricate designs, making it popular among artists and hobbyists.

Satin glazes enhance pottery with a smooth finish, offering subtle sheen and durability. Key factors include application method, temperature compatibility, color options, and food safety.
