UPDATED DESCRIPTION from AMACO (05-01-2024):
We are delighted to announce that Ancient Copper has been successfully reformulated. After a temporary hiatus due to material issues, our beloved Ancient Copper glaze from the Potter's Choice line RETURNS!
We understand how much this glaze means to our community of artists, and we've worked tirelessly to bring it back and make it better than ever.
The only discernible change is in its finish at varying firing temperatures, offering you even more versatility in your ceramic creations. At Cone 5, expect a robust copper satin matte surface. Meanwhile, firing at Cone 6 will reveal the sought-after bright copper blooms that has made Ancient Copper a staple in pottery studios worldwide.
As always, we encourage our artists to conduct test tiles to ensure optimal results.
Thank you for your patience and continued support as we bring back this treasured glaze. Get ready to rediscover the magic of Ancient Copper!
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION from AMACO:
Inspired by classic tomato red reduction glazes, Ancient Copper is an iridescent, iron red glaze that breaks dark brown over texture and pools dark yellow-green, giving it a weathered appearance.
