Olive Slate -Matte Glaze (MF-60)
500ml brush-on glaze. Midfire cone 6–8. Can be fired to cone 10, with changes to the glaze appearance. Australian made for potters and developed in our Northern Rivers studio.
A quietly complex glaze that can be a lot of different things, it’s green, it's steely grey, it’s olive and it's mustard. Olive Slate shifts like weather - steely blue, sometimes soft moss and bronze where it thins, blue and olive green when applied thickly and a whisper of brown along the edges. It’s slate stone after rain, with enough warmth to make it human. It’s a triumph of science!
There’s something ancient about it, but not old-fashioned, more like a fossil wearing new lofas. Earthy, moody, and a touch confusing, it’s one of those colours that feels honest and a little bit magic.
Perfect for: potters who like their surfaces to look like geology with feelings.
