New Lesson Plan coming soon, any guesses to what it may be?

Add dimension to your work with Speckled Stroke & Coat! Speckled Stroke & Coat glazes are Stroke & Coat colors with small specks of contrasting hues to add dimension and visual appeal to your creations. Since they perform the same as Stroke & Coat, Speckled Stroke & Coat can take the heat too!

Speckled Stroke & Coat glazes have been formulated to mature at cone 06/05, and most will maintain their color at higher temperatures, especially reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and blues. Speckles may blur at high firing temperatures. Performance at cone 6 is noted on each individual product label.

Stroke & Coat is the industry's most versatile gloss glaze with endless creative possibilities and a broad firing range. While initially developed for low fire, many Stroke & Coat colors perform well at higher temperatures with excellent results.

This October will be dedicated towards educational and informative content on how you can make the most out of your Stroke & Coat glazes!

Mayco is heartbroken by the devastating impact Hurricane Helene has had in several states. To help support artists who have been affected, Mayco will be donating to CERF+ (The Craft Emergency Relief Fund) and the American Red Cross. We believe in the strength of our community, and together, we can bring hope and support to those who need it most.

Curious about how each Mayco glaze performs at different temperatures? Use this Cones to Colors Reference Sheet to help visualize each glaze line's firing range! Remember, even though many of our glazes are traditionally "low-fire," they still have a wide firing range with exceptional results at higher temperatures! Keep an eye out for more educational resources about the firing ranges of our glazes.

We’re ready to share Mayco’s best kept secret with you: our traditionally “low-fire” colors perform at higher temperatures with exceptional results to cone 10. Our glazes are highly versatile with wide firing ranges and can be adaptable to all ceramic lesson plans. In the coming months, we’ll be sharing information, educational resources, inspiration and more on why our glazes are an essential addition to any art curriculum.

Happy Fourth of July!

We thank all of those who have fought and continue to fight for our country and freedom.

We are closed today and tomorrow, and we will return Monday, July 8 for normal hours.

We had a blast last week at NAEA! It was great meeting so many art educators and discuss how to use Mayco products in your classroom. The make and takes looked absolutely wonderful. It's amazing what you can do with some found object and glaze!

Tag us in your fired make and takes, we would love to see the finished pieces. Already looking forward to next year!

NAEA is coming up soon! We are so excited to see everyone April 4-6. Stop by our booth ( #812) to meet the Mayco crew, ask questions, chat about our products, and grab some samples! We will also have a make & take at our booth for you to get your hands on.

See you all in a couple of weeks!
