Load a soft, natural-fiber fan brush and float each coat on; reload when the brush starts to drag.

Fire a test tile on your own clay before glazing a finished piece.

About this glaze
Blue Midnight fires to a glossy black, and wherever the glaze pools thick, blue highlights come through. AMACO recommends a heavy application: the more you lay on, the more the blue float separates from the black base, and texture pushes that effect further. It's a strong choice for carved or textured work and layers well with other Potter's Choice glazes. Fires to cone 5-6 with a reduction-style look from an oxidation firing. Brush it straight from the pint jar. Carries the ACMI AP seal and AMACO's Food Safe seal.
