Amaco DL-59 Dipping & Layering Brick Red
Brick Red from the Amaco Dipping & Layering series is an opaque, vibrant red, glossy stoneware glaze in powder form with fine speckles. When applied thinly, it becomes more translucent and reveals lighter breaks on edges and raised textures. The color is striking on its own and is also suitable for combinations with other glazes.
The Dipping & Layering glazes are powder glazes for dipping and pouring. Each bag contains a pre-weighed dry mix that is simply stirred with distilled water, making it economical for workshops and classrooms while providing consistent, easily layered results. The color palette is based on popular shades from the Potter’s Choice series.

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.
