What's Underglaze?
Underglaze is a bit like paint, made of special minerals, applied with a paint brush before firing to add colour. You use underglaze, rather than just glaze, when you want to make mark-making, or “illustrative” patterns. After the first firing, a clear glaze (which is just a really thin layer of glass) is applied on top, and fired for a second time. When finished, your piece is permanently coloured, and ready for use!
What colours will I get?
We’ve so many colours in on our shelves, that you may not receive the exact colours pictured. It’s a surprise!
How will I know what to do?
How much do I need?
One palette should be enough for two people to illustrate their work.
Can't I just use my own paints?
Unfortunately, no. Ceramics are fired (heated) to incredibly high temperatures - 1220 degrees in our case. Regular paints will not survive the process, and will atomise and burn away to nothing.
