A beautiful, highly decorative glaze that creates a rich, volcanic texture in the firing.
Works beautifully on high-fired stoneware and porcelain.
Second image shows this glaze in combination with my SNOW white matte/glossy glaze.
1200–1260°C (≈ 2192–2300°F)
For the look seen in my work, I recommend firing to 1260°C (≈ 2300°F).

This glaze is lead- and cadmium-free, however the highly textured surface is not recommended for functional food-contact areas unless used as a decorative edge, as seen in my pottery.
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.
Yield Example:
500 g (≈ 1.1 lb) of dry glaze typically creates
≈ 800 ml (≈ 27 fl oz) of liquid glaze.
Apply a thick layer for the characteristic sculptural, cratered texture.
Suitable methods:
• dipping
• pouring
• spraying
• brushing
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.
