If you are looking for the perfect glaze or underglaze for finishing your work, we have what you need here at The Ceramic Shop! With brilliantly-colored low-fire glazes, vibrant underglazes, and a wide selection of mid-range glazes, we carry the perfect glaze for finishing you!
A glaze is a vitreous substance fused on to the surface of pottery to form a hard, impervious coating. This coating is typically applied after an initial bisque firing occurs, although certain glazes can be single-fired. After a bisqued (or once-fired) piece of pottery is covered with glaze either by dipping, brushing, or spraying, the piece is then fired again, to a temperature appropriate for both the claybody and glaze being used. Generally, these ranges will be either low-fire (pyrometric cone 06-04 is the general range for low-fire) or mid-range (pyrometric cone 5-7 being the most popular range). We carry a huge variety of glazes for both low-fire and mid-range pottery. While we offer most glazes in pint sizes, we do additionally carry certain professional lines in large, dry amounts for the potter who is able to mix glazes in their studio.
An underglaze is exactly what it sounds like -- a decorative coating that can be applied to greenware or bisqued pottery. It can then be covered with a transparent or translucent glaze for added effect, or you can let the underglazes stand on their own. While glazes tend to be vitreous and run together when fired, with underglazes, you can expect a more tightly-controlled, painterly effect.
