Amphora Commercial Glaze Guide

 Please use the following information to purchase commercial glazes to use at Amphora Ceramic Studio. All outside glazes must still be approved by a staff member before use at the studio. Each individual bottle of glaze must receive an approved sticker by our staff before using on your work. Our glaze kilns fire at cone 5 so some glazes rated for cone 5 or cone 5/6 are appropriate. Do NOT purchase glazes rated for 05- this is not the correct temperature!

  • Any underglaze that fluxes at 05/06
