Abbots Clear and Abbots White are our consistently popular standards firing from cone 3 to cone 6. Both take a range of stains to enable potters to find the exact and personal glaze colour they might need.

Abbots Midfire Glazes comprise a range of unique and interesting oxidation glazes optimised for Cone 6. Easy and attractive to use alone, these glazes can also be layered to produce predictable yet unique effects.

Abbots Brushable Glaze. We have selected a subset of our midfire glazes to form the basis of our brushable glaze range. These glazes are supplied ready to use in 1-litre and 400ml jars.

The Abbots Glaze Stain range is made up mostly of those stains in regular use to produce our glazes and underglazes. They can be added to slips and glazes to produce colour but expect to engage in an extended trialling and development program to get the best performance from them. Please note that stains are not a substitute for underglazes which make use of carefully formulated carrier medium compatible with the requirements of individual stains.
