A beautiful, highly decorative glaze that creates a rich, volcanic texture in the firing.
Works beautifully on high-fired stoneware and porcelain.
Compared to WHITE LAVA, this glaze has a drier feel to the touch. The craters form a different kind of structure beneath the surface, and the colour shifts slightly toward an off-white tone. While WHITE LAVA can feel almost silky when fired to 1260°C, this glaze retains a more dry, tactile surface.
Cone 7–9 (1240–1280°C / 2264–2336°F)

This glaze is lead- and cadmium-free, however the highly textured surface is not recommended for functional food-contact area.
Important:
You must mix the entire dry bag at once.
Because the glaze is blended by hand, the ingredients are not uniform in small scoops. Mixing only part of the bag will produce uneven results.
While most glazes are mixed at a 1:1 water-to-powder ratio, for a thicker consistency and more pronounced texture we recommend using less water — approximately 0.7:1.
Apply a thick layer for the characteristic sculptural, cratered texture.
Suitable methods:
• dipping
• pouring
• spraying
• brushing
Also suitable for raw firing (single firing).
This lava glaze will create a volcanic surface on your piece.
We recommend experimenting with:
• thickness of application
• number of coats
• firing cycles & temperatures
Always protect your kiln shelves well.
As with all specialty glazes, testing is essential — results vary with application, temperature, clay body, and firing schedule.

• Do not ingest.
• Wear gloves when mixing and applying.
• Avoid glaze dust — never sweep dry material.
• Clean spills or dried residue with a wet cloth only.
• Keep away from eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Ensure good ventilation during firing.
