On this carved plate, the glaze gives a soft green tone with subtle variation, and the edges and leaf details stay crisp instead of getting muddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why 3 coats work well here<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>three coats<\/strong>, Ivy has enough thickness to become glossy and full in the deeper sections while still allowing the texture to show. If you apply fewer coats, the color can look lighter and less saturated -especially on lighter stoneware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the hold + controlled cool matter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A short <strong>hold at Cone 6<\/strong> helps even out the melt and smooth the surface. The <strong>slow controlled cool<\/strong> can improve overall clarity and depth, especially for glazes that develop better when the kiln doesn\u2019t crash-cool too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_1282-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Mayco Ivy textured bowl by Therese Dellenlund\" class=\"wp-image-855\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_1282-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_1282-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_1282-1.jpg 828w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.potterypassion.com\/products\/1105-casting-body\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">White\/beige stoneware G&amp;S clay<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=ivy\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"747\">MAYCO Ivy 3x<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fired to <a href=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/?tag=cone-6-with-hold\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"463\">Cone 6 with 10 min hold <\/a>and slow controlled cool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_1283-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Mayco Ivy textured bowl by Therese Dellenlund\" class=\"wp-image-857\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_1283-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_1283-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_1283-1.jpg 828w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ThereseDellenlund\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Therese Dellenlund<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayco Ivy solo glazed plate by Therese Dellenlund<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":21,"footnotes":""},"categories":[165,914],"tags":[463,155,747,75,378],"class_list":["post-854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plates","category-solo","tag-cone-6-with-hold","tag-goerg-schneider","tag-ivy","tag-mayco","tag-slow-cool"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=854"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12729,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854\/revisions\/12729"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marijadesign.lv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
