5 AMACO Potter Choice glazes over Honey Flux

Striped Mug by Abby Newman

Abby Newman’s mug has a lovely, flowing elegance to it. The stripes, described from bottom to top, feature five of AMACO’s Potter’s Choice most popular glazes over Honey Flux as the base, encouraging movement and blending; Chun Plum for warm, rosy depth; Smokey Merlot for rich wine tones; Indigo Float for cool, mid-blue softness; Sapphire Float for a vivid, jewel-like blue; and Seaweed for a fresh green flourish at the rim. Each glaze brings its own character, and together they form a palette that feels both vibrant and harmonious.

From the bottom up, the colors melt seamlessly into one another, the Honey Flux coaxing gentle drips and feathered edges where they meet. The deep reds ease into tranquil blues before lifting into green, giving the impression of a shifting landscape or a sky at dusk. It’s the kind of finish that draws the eye around the mug, rewarding each turn with subtle new details in the glaze’s movement.
