AMACO DL-33 Low Tide stoneware glaze

Dipping and Layering Low Tide is an iron-rich stoneware glaze with transparent brown where thin, gray-green where thick and strong response to texture.

DL-33 Low Tide is a glossy, iron-rich stoneware glaze whose color changes with application thickness. It remains transparent iron brown where thin and develops a gray-green tone where thick. These variations accentuate texture and make the glaze useful as a base for layering.

AMACO Dipping and Layering glazes

AMACO Dipping & Layering is a range of dry dipping glazes formulated for dipping and pouring. Each bag contains a pre-measured dry blend to be mixed with distilled water. The glazes can be used on their own or layered to create complex color transitions. The palette is inspired by popular AMACO Potter’s Choice glazes. One bag yields approximately 4.7 L of prepared glaze, speeding up application and making it easier to achieve an even coat.

• Low Tide fires transparent iron brown where thin and gray-green where the application is thicker.
• Each bag contains 4.5 kg of dry glaze. Once prepared, it yields the same volume as ten 472 ml jars of ready-mixed glaze, making it an economical option for studios that use larger quantities.
• To prepare the glaze, pour 3.8 L of distilled water into a suitable container, gradually add the powder and mix until the glaze suspension is smooth and free of lumps. For best results, sieve the glaze through an 80-mesh screen and leave it overnight. One bag yields approximately 4.7 L of prepared glaze.
• Apply the glaze to bisqueware by dipping for 1–3 seconds. Stir the glaze suspension thoroughly before each use.
• The recommended firing range is 1200–1240°C.
• The glaze accentuates texture and works well on its own or as a base layer beneath other colors.
• Wear a suitable particulate respirator while mixing, work in a well-ventilated area and avoid breathing dust. We recommend firing a test tile before using each new batch and consulting the Safety Data Sheet.
