Glazes

Glazes Are NOT Paints!

Pictured is Citrus Splash and Herb Garden. Stroke & Coat was used for the circles.

Glazed ceramics require THREE COATS- and each layer must completely dry out before the next application. We offer a few glazed pieces in our store; the emphasis is paint your own pottery. We do sell most of the glazes we use, so customers can glaze the ceramic bisque of their choice. GLAZES DO GET DISCONTINUED, SO DON'T WAIT!

Coordinate your home decor! Ask us about napkin holders, salt and pepper sets, serving bowls, vases etc. See the links below for color samples, and we also have some tiles at the store. (All the Stroke & Coats.) We do not take requests to glaze items due to our full pouring/firing/filling orders schedule.

Is Painting The Same As Glazing?

NO! Glazes are kiln fired (almost 2,000 degrees.) and used for foodsafe and outdoor pieces. Paints are paints, found in a bottle in stores, such as Folk Art, Craft Smart, Apple Barrel, etc. They are not fired.

How Well Do Glazes Hold Up In The Weather?

Glazes are kiln fired at almost 2,000 degrees. If it gets THAT hot in Florida, we're leaving. However, COLD weather is not recommended for glazed pieces, because the heating/shrinking might cause the glaze to crack. We bring in our pieces if it gets below 40 degrees.

Do You Sell Glazes? Fire Bisque?

Yes. We sell glazes for our bisque and fire them in the kiln for a reasonable fee. We do NOT fire items which we have not made, no exceptions. Firing is a courtesy for our customers. We limit the glazes sold to those which do not flow excessively, are not discontinued/rare, and are easy to use.

What Glazes Do You Sell?

We sell the glazes which "perform" in a predictable manner the majority of the time. We keep 2oz bottles of Stroke & Coat in stock in limited quantities (call us if you are headed to the store and want a particular color, we can let you know if it's there or bring it for you if in inventory but not at the store.) Glazes other than Stroke & Coat come in 4 ounce jars and payment is required prior to ordering. The price varies with the glaze composition. Stroke & Coat is less expensive than the other glazes because they are one color. Glazes are not returnable and are sold by the jar.
