Saturated color, reliability and versatility make Velvets as popular with professionals as they are with children. Velvets fire colorfast as a Cone 05\/06 underglaze or fired to Cone 6. Some colors remain colorfast up to Cone 10. Some colors remain colorfast even up to Cone 10. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Try two finishing options: If unglazed, these colors have the rich textural look of velvet; if coated with AMACO transparent mat or Clear Gloss they intensify in color. Can be easily applied to wet clay, greenware or to 04 bisque (1971F \/ 1077C). <\/p>

The Velvets can be used in a variety of ways.<\/p>

  • 3 layers give an even covering result. Less is of course also possible if you want a less opaque effect.
    It is also possible to dilute it with water to create a watercolor\/watercolor effect. <\/li>
  • You can apply it to wet clay, leather hard or cookie fired clay.<\/li>
  • To be used in combination with Graffito technique, majolica, splatter.<\/li>
  • To finish them you can apply a transparent glaze over them, matte or glossy. Pottery or stoneware temperature. This can be co-fired already in the first firing. When everything is thoroughly dry apply the transparent layer.
    Because of the gases you may get some surface problems, this can usually be prevented by e.g. 15 minutes commuting at desired temperature. <\/li><\/ul>

    The velvets also combine very well with other glaze lines, for example, the Artist Choice and the Opalescent lines from Amaco. These are earthenware brush-on glazes this in combination can produce unique results. <\/p>

    Especially the latter, the Opalescents, are very suitable for it since they have a certain degree of translucency, so the underlying color affects the final color. In addition, amaco’s Opalescent pulls open on edges and structures, revealing the color of the velvets. <\/p>

    Below a two examples, here is 1 coat of Velvet applied to the work and then 3 coats of Opalescent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
