Designer Velvets
Designer Velvets are semi-translucent underglazes that have the same distinction as the original Velvet line with the addition of small specks. When left unglazed, they assume the appearance of velvet or velour with a soft speckle effect. When glazed with AMACO Transparent Matte or Clear Glazes, they intensify slightly in color.
Designer Velvet colors can be used on greenware or bisque. All colors are lead free. Recommended bisque firing range is Cone 04, but Designer Velvets tolerate a wide firing range with recommended firing temperature being that of the clay used. To prepare these underglazes, shake and stir for thorough mixing. It is usually not necessary to thin these colors. However, upon occasion or for varying techniques, it may become necessary to thin Designer Velvets. In this case add a few drops of water and mix thoroughly. Designer Velvets may be brushed (1) on greenware which is to be bisque fired before applying a covering glaze or (2) on a mature Cone 04 (1971°F, 1077°C) bisque, then a covering glaze applied. For opaque coverage by brushing, the consistency of the color in the jar is correct. AMACO Designer Velvets have only been tested and approved as dinnerware safe when applied and fired under LG-10 Clear Glaze. They should not be used on surfaces which come in contact with food or drink. If left unglazed, AMACO clear glazes LG-9, LG-10, F-10 and HF-9 or any other dinnerware safe glaze are recommended to be used over AMACO Designer Velvets to make them dinnerware safe. Designer Velvets come in two ounce and pint jars and an assortment of two ounce jars, one of each color. Please note that the color samples shown may vary from actual colors. Every effort was made to make them as accurate as possible however due to many factors including individual monitor settings these examples should only be used as a reference point. Sold in two-ounce containers.
