Luminary Colors

We make our colored clays by mixing metal oxides, into our recycled clay scraps. For instance, we add rust or iron oxide to get our brown clay. This is of course how nature does it. If you find a clay in nature that is red or brown you would expect to find iron oxide in it. Because we mix all of our clay by hand each batch will be a little different, some batches will be lighter or darker than others. Also there may be a difference in the color on your monitor and the actual color of the piece.

Brown Unglazed

Although most of our luminaries are glazed we do make the brown in both glazed and unglazed for those who wish a more natural stone surface. We fire the unglazed luminaries to the same temperature as the glazed so they are just as durable.

Blue

With the hand mixed blue clay you get the blue speckles as well as the smooth blue colors.

Blue and Brown

I chose these pictures because they demonstrate the swirled effect on the uncarved back in one picture and a fully carved section on the other.

Blue and Green

While the blue and brown clays give you sharp crisp swirls, the green tends to bleed into the white clay when it is fired.
