Amaco CR-17 Flux Crawl
Flux Crawl from Amaco’s Crawls series is a glossy, soft pink glaze specifically designed for layering. During firing, it crawls into organic shapes, adding color variations to the underlying glaze. This creates a unique, multi-layered effect with subtle depth.
The Crawls glazes utilize an effect traditionally considered a defect: glaze crawling. During firing, the glaze contracts and exposes the glaze layer beneath it. Every firing therefore yields a unique, spontaneous result.
Flux Crawl is particularly effective when layered over other glazes, such as those from the Amaco Celadon series, where it adds depth and contrast.
Features
- Manufacturer: Amaco
- Series: Crawls (CR)
- Color code: CR-17
- Name: Flux Crawl
- Content: 472 ml
- Color: Soft pink, iridescent over the underlying glaze
- Glaze type: Stoneware glaze / brush-on glaze, crawl or effect glaze
- Finish: Glossy, crawling structure with raised patterns
- Specially suited for layering over other glazes
- Application thickness controls the pattern: more layers result in larger shapes and more cracks, thinner applications produce a finer beading effect
Application
- Apply 1 to 4 coats to bisque fired to Cone 04
- Brush-on glaze, apply with a brush
- Allow each coat to dry almost completely before applying the next
- For better adhesion, apply a thin coat of AMACO Gum Solution to the bisque before application
- For greater durability, apply over an Amaco Celadon glaze or underglaze before firing
- The dried glaze forms fine hair-cracks and is fragile; handle pieces carefully before firing
- Due to natural fluctuations in raw materials, always fire a test piece with each new batch number
- Shake well and stir thoroughly before use
Technical Specifications
- Firing range: approx. 1186 °C to 1222 °C (Cone 5 to 6)
- Suitable for stoneware firing
Note on food safety
The Crawls glazes are not food-safe when applied alone. If applied over an Amaco Celadon glaze, they are considered food-safe. For tableware and surfaces in contact with food, we therefore recommend always using the Crawls over a Celadon glaze.

Our delivery guarantee
Our delivery guarantee
You should be able to focus on your project while making pottery, not on whether your desired glaze is currently in stock. That is exactly what we are here for.
With over 300 colors in our range, it can happen that a shade is occasionally out of stock. The Formwerk difference: you don't have to search in multiple shops, wait for a service response, or accept any extra costs. If a glaze is sold out with us, we take action manually for you and search for your shade in our European dealer network of 12 partners. We cover the additional shipping costs.
That is our guarantee: every glaze in our range remains permanently orderable. So that you can plan ahead and have a reliable source for your glazes.
