Underglaze pencil - black

Description

This pencil, identical to a common colored pencil, is suitable for use on ceramics, specifically on pieces that have already been bisqued.

We can use it to doodle, draw or sign pieces. We can draw on underglazes (even raw ones) and combine their use with other paints and glazes.

If we glaze a piece, for example with a transparent glaze, after making the drawing, that drawing will not be blurred.

It must be handled (and above all, sharpened) with care, as this is a delicate pencil and the core is sensitive; If we accidentally break it we will end up wasting part of the pencil.

The end result is very similar to colored pencils. There are ceramic pencils in different colors; I chose to only make the black pencil available, as these pencils are on sale in ceramics supply stores in Portugal.
