Amethyst is an opaque, dark purple glaze that has a consistent, reliable result that is great for classrooms. Due to the purple pigment Amethyst might lose some of the rich purple color when fired at a higher temperature. Originally part of the Celebration line, a series inspired by the classic Fiesta tableware ceramics, Amethyst is food-safe, safe for spray application, and great as a liner or even a base for layering other glazes. Suitable for firing cone 5 and up.
Several artists have experimented with the Celebration glazes in wood, soda, and salt at temperatures up to cone 12, which yielded great results!
Make sure you always test when exploring alternative firings for any of AMACO's glazes.
