Our Shino glazes are
designed to emulate the look of a gas fired shino when fired in an
electric kiln, but they can also be used to create a whole new range of
finishes unlike anything else. The eighteen Shino colors can be
layered under
or over
nearly any of our glazes, making them some of
the most versatile cone 6 glazes available.
On this page, you will find our entire
series of Shino glazes, as they appear when layered over our Gloss Black. The combinations are endless, but for a good starting
place, try a Shino over any of the Gloss colors (click
here
to see a list of glazes by series.)
The
cups shown here are made of a speckled buff colored clay, bisque fired to cone
06, but these glazes look great on any cone 5-6 clay.
For brushing, apply 3
coats of Black. Allow to dry, then apply 2 to 3 coats of the Shino
color. The glazes can also
be applied by dipping, one coat of each color.
Fire to between witness cone 5
and cone 6. (We fired these cups to cone 5 [fast] with a 15 minute
hold.)
