Amaco SH-46 Matcha Matte Stoneware Glaze

Amaco Shino Matcha Matte develops matte green and brown transitions whose intensity and distribution vary with the thickness of the glaze application.

With Matcha Matte, a thin layer reveals more of the warm rust-brown base. A thicker application brings out stronger green and brown areas, while surface texture increases the contrast between sections with different glaze thicknesses. At the recommended firing temperature, the finish is matte.

Amaco Shino

Amaco Shino glazes are inspired by the humble earthiness of tea ceremony bowls. In oxidation firings, they produce a rich, high-iron surface reminiscent of reduction-fired glazes. They enhance both textured and smooth clay surfaces and are suitable for white and red clay bodies.

The Gloss and Matte versions can be blended to create intermediate levels of sheen. The glazes can also be layered with Amaco Potter's Choice glazes to produce more dynamic, complex surfaces.
