Thanks so much for including the end result too. So helpful

[@denavess7469]

Yes beautiful bowl! Will try this! 😊👍

[@lisataylor1305]

thank you... I shall be trying this!

[@denavess7469]

Love combination! Prob would use oyster on outside as it is beautiful color.. didn’t realize could use stroke and coat with other glazes.. I thought was for preglazed lprojects as underglaze. Interesting.. thank you sharing. 😊

[@MaycoColors]

Stroke and Coats are not underglazes! They can be used on greenware, but they have a glossy finish and can have movement when fired to cone 6. Check out some of our in depth product education videos for more details!

[@gabyvoegl8193]

Hey, thank you for the tutorial videos they are so helpful! I have already tried out so many combinations and sometimes they vary and turn out completely different than in the videos showed. Can you please tell me which burning curve you are using to cone 6? I usually fire it to 1225° degrees with a 10 minute hold, as well with 30 minute hold. The results were the same. Thank you sharing!! :)

J’adore c’est combos avez vous d’autres exemples avec les émaux cascades.merci à vous car j’ai acheté ces émaux et j’ai peur de faire des bêtises merci

[@karri8998]

Stunning! I noticed some crackling in the green ones glaze. Is a piece still food safe when there is crackling like that? I must try this product! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@MaycoColors]

Due to the fact this is stoneware, there is less of a risk of water being absorbed into the underlying clay body because it has been vitrified. However, we always suggest testing the chemical durability of the glaze, as well as using personal discretion before eating from a glazed piece.

[@irenesipe7033]

Thank you for your informative tutorials! Are these bowls food safe with the layering effects? Thank you!

[@MaycoColors]

Yes, all of the products used in this project are dinnerware safe. We always suggest checking the surface of your work once fired to make sure it is safe.

[@triciac1019]

​@MaycoColors how would a person test for safeness?

[@a.christinachavez9268]

Amazing! Does anyone know what happens of you apply the cascade on top of other glaze?

[@MaycoColors]

Cascades are formulated for low-fire but can be used with mid range products. They work very well with our low fire Elements line!

[@karri8998]

How do you tell if a piece is vitrified?

[@karingroot991]

I especially like the blue variation. Do I understand correctly that no blue glaze was applied here? It just turned blue by the green tea somehow?

[@MaycoColors]

Some of the blue comes from the Blue Isle used but some of the variation comes from chemical reaction.

[@karingroot991]

@@MaycoColors thank you 😀

[@marymasters1334]

This video shows Cascades being used on stoneware cone 6 (which is stunning!) but the labels on the Cascades say to use with low fire cone 06. Can they be used with stoneware mid-range cone 6 also?

[@MaycoColors]

yes

[@garethbrooks3301]

Hi, please does anyone know if cascade or flux creates the most movement at low fire?

[@MaycoColors]

Hi! Flux is formulated for mid-range temps, so it will not work at low-fire. We do have Pottery Cascades that are meant to mimic the effects of Flux at low fire. They work best with already somewhat mobile glazes like Elements.

[@KatetheskateStudio]

Do you think this could be used with low fire clay/glaze too?

[@MaycoColors]

Pottery Cascades are intended for low-fire and can be used with other low-fire glazes. It will probably not move as much as it does at cone 6.

[@bobbiefolsom]

Where does the blue come from?

[@joanruebsam1233]

Can you share the names of the colours used in the green bowl please

[@MaycoColors]

Colors are listed here: www.maycocolors.com/projects/cascades-and-green-tea-stoneware-bowl/

[@karinaars185]

Thanks!! Do you wait between coats?

[@MaycoColors]

Yes! We wait until the shine is gone before applying the next layer

[@birachdamir5149]

what will happen if I put this combination on flat surface - I mean on tile for example 300*600 or maybe 60 * 120 ?

[@MaycoColors]

If you fire flat, the glazes won't move.

[@birachdamir5149]

@@MaycoColors The tiles are moved inside the oven with the help of ceramic rollers. Temperature pressures of over 10,000 degrees are applied to them.

[@birachdamir5149]

Maybe the heat pressure itself moved the glaze layers creating such a unique decor. For a plate measuring 120x60, temperatures of over 15,000 degrees are applied, while the oven itself for firing ceramic plates is over 200 meters long.

[@kreativelykewlplantsandstu8666]

Fired at Cone 6 or Cone 06?

[@MaycoColors]

The example in this video was fired to cone 6. The Pottery Cascades are a cone 06 glaze that can be used at higher temps.
