Specialty Glazing
Specialty glazing is available IN STORE ONLY- and are one of a kind. Specialty glazing is applied by hand, and just like a painitng, each stroke and amount of glaze on the brush is different.
Specialty glazing is an option we offer in addition to our 16 color standard line of glazes. The glaze layering technique is a way of altering the mood of the tile field, softening and blurring edges, and adding a layer of depth and color. Perfect for behind the range in a kitchen backsplash. Equally suitable as a fireplace surround.
Specialty Glazing starts with the selection of a base, or background color. This color should be one of our lighter colors Next, brush-fulls or sponge-fulls of contrasting glaze is layered over the base glaze. In the firing process colors blend and flow in unpredictable ways as the glazes melt together.
Occassionally, Mark will agree to custom orders of specialty glazing. To do this, a control sample is approved and returned to our studio , and work begins on your order. Every effort is made to ensure that the sample is matched to 90% accuracy. There are always variances with hand glazing. While we are going to do our best work, we will not guarantee 100%. Don’t worry. We want you to be happy, and you will be. The slight variation offers depth and richness.
