INTRODUCTION TO UNDERGLAZE
Think of underglaze as colored slip.
It needs to be applied to unfired clay and is matte.
You only need one coat to create the color, so do not put it on thick.
It can be watered down to create a watercolor effect.
After it is bisqued, you may put clear glaze on it to make it shiny.
Only use these when you have permission because they are very expensive.
