Your creative journey with pottery begins with choosing the right clay and knowing how to use them.
Clay bodies are categorized by the temperature of the cone value at which they mature.
The three basic categories are Low Fire, Mid Fire, and High Fire Clay.
Each of these differs in plasticity, texture, feel, and produce dramatically different results
when fired or paired with compatible glazes.
Pottery Sessions offers a select range of clays for your clay explorations.
A ceramic glaze is an impermeable layer or coating that transforms bisqeware into artistic creations.
A glaze is a liquid combination containing silica, that fuses onto a ceramic body when fired at the desired temperature,
turning it into strong, vitreous, waterproof pieces.
Glazes work well in combination with other recommended glazes.
Pottery sessions offers a wide-range of dry glazes that are non-toxic and food-safe,
unless stated otherwise, to help you materialize the artistic possibilities you envision with your piece.
AMACO has a variety of Cone 5/6 (2160F – 2230F. / 1186 – 1222C.) glazes that showcase a range of ceramic surfaces.
Underglaze is a method of decorating pottery in which painted decoration is applied to the surface
before it is covered with a transparent ceramic glaze and fired in a kiln.
