Jungle Gems
Mayco’s Jungle Gems™ Crystal Glazes transform in the kiln when the small pieces of glass frit burst into color and intricate patterns during the firing process. Artists use these beautiful glazes to add dramatic, colorful effects to their creations.
At higher temperatures, Jungle Gems™ have more mobility. We recommend receding layers of glaze when applying. Avoid heavy application of crystals at the bottom third of ware as the crystals tend to flow at higher temperatures on verticalpieces and can adhere to the kiln shelves. Place a tile or a piece of scrap bisque beneath the piece to prevent glaze from running onto your kiln shelves. Fire to shelf cone 5-10. We recommend testing at your preferred firing temperature and clay body prior to use.

Stoneware Crystal Glazes
Stoneware crystal glazes are designed to expand upon the surface with dazzling bursts of color. Fired results will vary based on ware’s orientation. Crystals will settle to the bottom of the jar and will need a good mixing prior to initial use. Re-stir between each coat. Stir with palette knife or other unpainted tool. Avoid placing crystals near the bottom third of a vertical piece as they may cause additional movement during firing. Crystals will flow more than the base glaze. While the glaze is wet, use your fan brush to redistribute the crystals to achieve balanced coverage. Over-application or heavy deposition of the crystals can cause pinholing or running. When storing a crystal glaze, you may consider storing upside down to facilitate crystal dispersion on the next use.
