Abbots Reactive Black is a Cone 6 midfire brushable glaze with a glossy deep black with subtle movement and undertone rather than a flat, solid finish. It gives work weight and intensity, and serves as a powerful contrast glaze in combinations where darker pooling and reactive variation are desired.

1) I appreciate you resending the clay and wearing the loss after your mistake of sending it to the wrong state, but I never received the glaze, so only part of the order which is frustrating and an in essay loss to me.
2) the clay is SO soft and hard to work with. Throwing - it won’t hold its own shape and collapses. Then at leather hard as soon as you add water it turns to mush. Handbuilding - same issue but a little more workable.
I will say, it does fire to a beautiful colour.
I managed to still get some pieces made - though they are wonky. But everything was so much harder than it had to be.
I don’t have a proper picture but all 10 pieces turned out bubbled. Tiny little bubbles.l through the glaze.
The clay is a Keanes stoneware and 3 good layers didn’t bring out the yellow but I’ve got another batch going in so maybe this will come out differently.
Gorgeous glaze, deep green and translucent as expected. Just a little tricky to apply (like a dipping glaze) so I might need to add some brushing medium.
I love the colours and as someone new to pottery it’s just exciting to know that this product has quality and a huge range of colour. Looking forward to adding more to my existing colours and exploring what magic can happen with them!
Beautiful deep dark green. I probably should have applied a little thicker, but very happy. Some lovely crystals too. Looking forward to exploring more
Purchased the clay a few months ago, finally have time to try it, nice texture and strength, very easy to throw, definitely will order again once I finish my current stock.
Versatile medium hand build slab work and wheel throwing. I think this is my new favourite . I absolutely love this stone ware nigra clay, couldn't be happier with my results
