Mayco Elements
Mayco Elements is a high-quality series of glazes developed specifically for decorating ceramics, especially for both hobbyists and professional potters. These glazes are known for their versatility, ease of use and beautiful finishes that instantly take any ceramic project to the next level. Whether you’re making dinnerware, sculptures or decorative tiles, Mayco Elements offers an extensive palette of colors and textures with which to experiment endlessly.
What exactly is Mayco Elements?
Mayco Elements are specially formulated glazes designed for easy application and firing at standard pottery temperatures of approximately 960°C to 1050°C. They form a glass-like layer that after firing not only protects the surface of your ceramics, but also gives them a unique look. This range offers a wide variety of colors, from soft, earthy tones to bright, intense colors, with both matte and glossy finishes. The glazes are designed for use on pottery and are excellent for combining with other Mayco products, such as underglazes, for additional creative possibilities.
The benefits of Mayco Elements
Mayco Elements excels with the perfect balance of ease of use and professional quality. These glazes are easy to apply and adhere excellently to most pottery types, making them ideal for beginners and advanced ceramists alike. A key advantage is that they are resistant to wear and tear and daily use, keeping your crockery, mugs and bowls beautiful longer and protected from scratches, stains and moisture. Also, the glazes are food-safe, which is essential for functional dinnerware.

In addition, Mayco Elements glazes offer stunning aesthetics: they can range from velvet matte to deep gloss, and sometimes include subtle variations in texture and color that give life to the surface. The relatively low firing temperature also makes them energy efficient and accessible to smaller kilns, making the collection suitable for home use as well as small studios.
How to choose the right Mayco Elements glaze?
Choosing the right glaze within the Mayco Elements range depends on your intended end result and the type of ceramics you are making. Do you want a glossy, bright look that lets colors speak for themselves? Then the glossy varieties are ideal. For a natural, soft look, you can choose the matte or semi-matte finishes, which give a rustic and organic feel. It is also important to pay attention to color intensity and transparency. Some glazes allow the texture and clay layer underneath to show through, which is fine for engraved or detailed works.

Because Mayco Elements glazes are easy to combine, you can also experiment with applying multiple layers for special color effects and depth. With functional ceramics, always make sure the glaze is suitable and safe for food contact.
How can you apply Mayco Elements?
Mayco Elements is often used to finish functional tableware such as plates, bowls, and mugs, as well as artistic ceramic pieces and decorative objects. With its wide color palette and various finishes, this glaze lends itself well to creative projects ranging from subtle, minimalist designs to vibrant, playful decorations.

In ceramics workshops and courses, Mayco Elements is popular for its ease of use and reliable results. The glaze is easy to apply with brush, sponge or spray gun, which also makes group activities or beginner-friendly projects accessible.
Great quality and durable protection
Mayco Elements guarantees consistently high quality in color and finish. The colors remain vibrant and bright, even after firing, while the glaze provides a durable protective layer that can take a beating. The surface becomes waterproof, dirt-repellent and abrasion-resistant, making it suitable for daily use and easy cleaning.
