Sonoran Shino

Sonoran Shino is a glaze I combined to create a single glaze that looks as close to Sonoran Desert cacti as I could get. The glaze breaks in such a way that it represents the desert sands. This glaze is considered my primary glaze.

Cedar Shino

A variegated reddish-brown that breaks over texture. Often attains a lacquer-like finish, but can turn glossy pink where thickest. Beautiful with Black.

Lemon Cream Satin

A bright and unbreaking yellow, similar to Buttercup but without the glossy finish.

Light Shino

A lighter version of our Shino glaze, Light Shino is a creamy beige where it pools, and breaks to a darker brown over texture.
