Amaco sahara Zinc free glaze

Zinc-free glazes are often preferred by potters who want to avoid the potential issues associated with zinc in ceramics, such as crystalline growth or crawling. These glazes are formulated without the use of zinc oxide as a key ingredient.

Amaco, a well-known brand in the pottery and ceramics community, offers a wide range of glazes with various formulations, finishes, and characteristics. They may have specific glaze lines that are zinc-free, or you can find zinc-free options within their product offerings.

Zinc-Free Clear glaze is typically used with underglazes to reduce the incidence of color shift. Most underglazes, stains, and coloring oxides will show their best color with Zinc-Free Clear.

Please note: Some colors may be muted with HF-9 Zinc-Free Clear. Always read bottle instructions and/or seek advice from the manufacture or a ceramicists at Northern Rivers Pottery Supplies. 

**Note that all dry dipping glazes can be difficult to layer. Dipping glazes behave differently from brushing and they require thorough testing prior to layering full piece.
