A specialized glaze with a carefully balanced formula, creating true reduction copper red in your electric kiln. Snowy Plum uses a chemical that reduces the glaze locally, and must be applied very thick for the reduction to work. Care should be taken to prevent running.
Single or double dip (4-5 coats brushed) Snowy Plum has components that cause it to reduce locally. It is slightly runny, but needs to be quite thick to develop the red color, and may run under some firing conditions. It tends to produce better color in low-oxygen conditions (i.e. a tightly packed kiln with all the peepholes closed). Tends to work better in a fast firing. This glaze is temperamental (as are all copper reds), but is worth some effort.
