Ocean Combo Mug by Brody

Ocean Glaze Combination on Reclaimed Stoneware

Some glaze combinations seem to carry a landscape within them. This Ocean Combo mug by Brody captures the meeting point between sea and shore, where deep blue water rolls across pale sand. The piece was made using Bmix reclaim clay body and fired to Cone 6 in an electric kiln. Layers of Laguna Power Turquoise, AMACO Potter’s Choice Blue Rutile, AMACO Sapphire Float, AMACO Celadon Snow, and AMACO Oatmeal work together to create a surface that feels shaped by tides rather than by a brush.

Building the Ocean Combo Surface

The foundation of this glaze combination begins with Laguna Power Turquoise, applied in two coats, followed by two coats of AMACO Potter’s Choice Blue Rutile. Small additions of AMACO Sapphire Float introduce darker currents within the blue field, while a thin line of AMACO Celadon Snow along the rim and lower edge encourages soft white movement. Three coats of AMACO Oatmeal beneath the blue layers create the sandy shoreline effect, providing contrast that allows the flowing blues to stand out without overwhelming the form.

Cone 6 Ocean Effects with Power Turquoise and Blue Rutile

At Cone 6, the interaction between Power Turquoise and Blue Rutile produces a broad range of ocean-inspired blues, from bright turquoise highlights to deeper cobalt tones. The Celadon Snow breaks into delicate white patterns that resemble sea foam gathering along the edge of a wave. On the reclaimed Bmix clay body, the warm sandy base remains visible beneath the glaze movement, grounding the composition and giving the mug a natural sense of place. Brody’s piece demonstrates how carefully layered commercial glazes can create depth, motion, and atmosphere while remaining practical and repeatable for studio potters.
