Underglaze Decorating Pencils   

Amaco Underglaze decorating pencils are ideal for shading, fine line drawings or identification.  To use, apply the pencils to bisqueware and then lightly dust with a brush to remove excess particles.  Lightly sponge on the first coat of glaze to avoid smearing.  (This step is not necessary if glaze is applied by spraying, dipping or pouring.)  Black, blue, and green pencils can be fired to cone 10.  Brown and Yellow to cone 5.   (Minimum fire to cone 06)

Underglaze Chalk-Crayons   

Very versatile.  Sketching on bisqueware results in a pebbled appearance.  All colors can be blended by rubbing with fingers or a cotton swab.  Watercolor effect can be obtained by brushing sketches with water, or using a wet brush.  Small pieces of crayon can be dissolved in water for painting or spraying.  The 2 1/4" x 7/16" crayons may be sharpened to create lines.  Cover with clear glaze and fire to maturing temperature of glaze.  Sponge on first coat of glaze to avoid smearing.  Note, for best results use a zinc free glaze.  Zinc in a glaze will often upset stains and underglaze colors.  Black, brown, dark blue, dark green, white, gray and medium blue are good to cone 10.  Turquoise, yellow, dark brown, blue green, light brown, medium green and yellow-green are good to cone 5.  Rose and lilac are good to cone 05.

Potter's Pens
UGMCBLKP2.jpg (8705 bytes)

A unique tip-activated valve that "doses" underglaze ink onto your bisqueware.  How opaque and thick a line you achieve depends upon several factors.  Generally, a line thickness of 1 mm is achieved.  In order to attain a very opaque decoration, one needs to draw at a deliberate rate.  One can also govern the ink flow by gripping the pen body more or less firmly.  All colors except Rose may be fired up to Cone 9. Rose should be fired to a maximum temperature of Cone 4.  Test when using in reductions.  2 oz refills also available.  From Minnesota Clay.

Graffito Underglaze Transfer Paper
