AMACO Velvet Underglazes Cone 06-6

Rich Colours for Ceramic Decoration

Saturated colour, dependable performance and versatile application make these underglazes suitable for a wide range of ceramic decoration. Use them for detailed brushwork, bold patterns or broad areas of coverage.

Apply colours to wet clay, greenware or mature cone 04 bisque. The range also supports spray application, following the appropriate product guidance.

Velvet Underglazes fire true to colour at cone 05/06 and cone 6, with some shades remaining true at temperatures up to cone 10. Check the individual colour guidance when choosing your firing temperature.

Velvet Surfaces or a Glazed Finish

Left unglazed, the colours offer a rich, velvety appearance. Covering them with AMACO Clear Transparent Matte or Clear Gloss can intensify their colour, giving you a choice of finishes for your decoration.

For food-contact surfaces, cover with a suitable food-safe glaze and follow the relevant application and firing instructions.

AMACO states that its clay and glaze products are vegan and that it uses synthetic bone ash.

Statement From AMACO Regarding Glaze Colour

Clay, glaze, and underglaze ingredients may experience colour, particle size, and other changes over time. This occurs due to natural variations in the mines from which raw materials come. Changes in manufacturing processes and suppliers can also be a factor.
