Underglazes
Underglaze is the name given to a type of industrially prepared, stabilized and highly versatile glass engobe. These are sold in liquid form, in bottles of different sizes and numerous colors.
- We can apply the underglazes on soft clay, in a leathery state, dry, already shaken or even on the glaze, raw or cooked
- We can thicken the underglaze or we can dilute it to use it more watery like watercolors
- Works well on any type of clay and the bright colors remain
- Mayco Fundamentals: underglazes that do not glaze, even at 1200°C. the appearance and texture is earthy and dull. We can always glaze with clear on top if we want.
- Mayco Stroke & Coat: these underglazes stay glazed after being baked, even if they are applied to raw clay (they work in single firing too)
- You can find more information and tips about underglazes in the guides.
