Jet Black - Northstar
Details
NS125 Jet Black is a very dense black. It is well suited for sculptural applications and blown work. It is creamy and works easily, making it a welcome addition to the palette of blacks from which to choose. When working NS125 Jet Black, do so in an oxidizing flame. If worked in a reductive environment it will develop gray streaks on the surface and result in a dull matte finish. When applying the color, do so gently. After it is melted in it can take a lot of heat. NS125 Jet Black is great in combination with many colors and serves as a background for striking colors.

Millie safe black
by LTD
Millie safe. Had a batch a few years back that wanted to pop when introducing to flame. Abe told me to kiln it. Worked like butter after that. Only issue I've had

Go-To Black
by Mustard
My go-to black to use. Color stays true, it’s easy to work and less sensitive than the other blacks I’ve tried. Also priced great and often offered in odds/seconds.
Love it!
