Tips: Can be applied to wet clay, greenware or soft fired, cone 04 bisque. Engobes are often used for a variety of decorative techniques, such as sgraffito and majolica. Fires matte. Apply clear glaze to intensify color or for use on dinnerware. Engobes will impact glaze results when used as a base. Engobes are used to change the color of your clay color surface without cross contamination and easy clean up in your studio. Can be used in oxidation or reduction firings. Results may vary. The choice of clay body, thickness of application, firing process, and temperature will greatly affect the fired results. Always test your application on your clay body in your kiln environment.

NEW FOR SPRING 2024

Engobes are a great option for those who want the look of other clay bodies but don’t want to add another clay to their studio because of contamination or messy clean-up. With only two coats, Engobe can transform a red clay body into white or a white clay body into black, allowing you to have the look of a different clay body every day of the week! Apply to wet clay, greenware or bisque, and fire from cones 5-10.

Engobes are a hybrid of slip, glaze and underglaze, used to coat your clay body to your preferred finish/color and are often used for a variety of decorative techniques.

GENERAL USE
Stir well. Using a soft fan brush, apply 2-3 coats to wet clay, greenware or soft fired, cone 04 bisque (1940°F/1060°C). Allow the glaze to dry between each coat. If desired, apply 2-3 coats of another glaze overtop. Fire to preferred temperature; cone 5-10 (2167°F-2345°F / 1186°C-1285°C).

The Engobes will not stick to kiln shelves when 2 coats are applied, heavier application may cause the glaze to flux. Results can vary based on the kiln wash you have applied to your shelves. Testing is recommended.
