Coyote Frank’s Colored Celadon glazes are a range of translucent mid-fire stoneware glazes from Coyote that produce beautiful see-through colour effects on pottery — especially over texture, brushwork, and fine carved details.

What Frank’s Colored Celadon Glazes Are

  • Translucent colour glazes: These glazes fire with a degree of transparency, so the surface beneath (texture, carving, underglaze work, or coloured clay) still shows through and contributes to the final look.

  • Celadon-style range: While traditional celadon often refers to a jade-green glaze, Frank’s series expands this concept to include a variety of pleasing colours — from blues and greens to pinks and greys — all in a celadon-like, translucent finish.

  • Mid-fire (Cone 5–6): Designed for use in the common mid-range firing temperatures that most stoneware classes and studios use, making them reliable and versatile for functional ware.

  • Good over texture: Because they don’t run excessively and hold detail well, they work beautifully over carved or textured surfaces.

Typical Uses in a Pottery Studio

  • Ideal for functional ware like mugs, bowls, and plates where subtle colour and translucency are desired.

  • Works well as an alternative to clear glaze, especially where you want a tint of colour.

  • Great over underglaze decoration or on coloured clays because the transparent layer lets those design layers show through.

Summary

Frank’s Colored Celadon glazes give you beautiful, translucent coloured surfaces that enhance texture and decoration while remaining functional and well-behaved in mid-fire studio firings — perfect for exploring coloured effects without losing detail.
