Sparkle Black Engobe Pint

1 Pint

Glaze is fired to cone 6 in product image.

Cone 6 results: Sparkle Black Engobe fires matte black with metallic specks. Specks may produce texture. Highly stable.

Cone 10 reduction: No change to base color. Specks bloom and become matte. Remains stable.

Tip: To enhance the sparkle and improve texture, use your fingers to burnish/polish the surface of the ware before the last layer is dry. Polishing is not needed when used in combination.

Dinnerware Safe with Clear Glaze

Engobes are similar to a slip, used to coat your clay body to your preferred finish/color and are often used for a variety of decorative techniques, such as sgraffito and majolica. They can be applied to wet clay, greenware or bisque and fire from cones 5-10. Engobes have a similar texture to underglazes and require a clear glaze (matte or gloss) to be considered dinnerware safe. Layering the new micros over the engobes brings about great results!
