All Georgies Glazes are made with careful attention to the details. We monitor our raw materials and fire test samples from every batch before releasing it for sale. Our goal is to make reliable, consistent glazes that are fun and easy to use -- that are also flexible enough to offer a wide variety of color options. How're we doing? You're the best judge of that: let us know how our glazes worked for you. Send photos too: we've love to see your work!

Sample Sets

You like the colors, but you're not sure about investing in full pints or gallons right away? You don't have to! We offer sample sets of all our glaze series in 4oz jars so you can try them and see how they perform for you. For one low price, you get 4 ounces of each color in the line to experiment with. You'll find details on each sample set listed with each glaze line. Prices shown for sample sets do not include shipping and since they are very reasonably priced, are not included in promotional offers.

Dry Glazes

We do not sell our glazes as dry powders! ... with a few exceptions

There are three main avenues of exposure to hazardous or toxic materials: absorption through the skin, inhalation by breathing dust, and ingestion by eating or drinking them. Of these three, inhalation is the fastest, easiest and most common method of exposure.

Most glaze materials come in the form of very finely ground powders that clay artists weigh, blend, sort and mix with water. Working with these materials can result in high rates of dust exposure. Dust from dry glazes will contain free silica crystals that can be harmful to the lungs with repeated exposure. Dry glaze dust may also contain potentially toxic metallic oxides (depending on the formula of the product and the manufacturer.)

At Georgies we recommend that everyone working with dry glaze materials use adequate respiratory protection. We require it for our employees working with these materials. Due to the potential health risks, as a socially conscious and environmentally responsible company we made a strategic decision years ago not to offer our glazes in dry forms.

We only offer our clear glazes and a few base glazes in dry form, sold in 50# bags only!
The following are available dry: PG629 Super Clear, PG630 Zinc-Free Clear, PG654 No More Tears Clear, GLW12 Eggshell Wash, and GLW37 Pure White Matte. We will be updating this information soon.
