low-fire glaze

Low-fire glaze refers to a type of ceramic glaze that is fired at relatively low temperatures, typically between 1,820°F to 2,060°F (996°C to 1,130°C). This creates a glass-like coating that can be vibrant and glossy, often used for functional pottery and decorative pieces. Low-fire glazes allow for a wider range of colors and effects because they melt and bond well at lower temperatures. However, they may be less durable and more prone to scratching or chipping compared to high-fire glazes. This type of glaze is popular among artists for its ease of use and bright, varied finishes.
