Duncan Concepts Underglazes





Duncan Concepts Underglazes are non toxic.

Get ready to elevate your bisque decorations with Duncan Concepts® Underglaze Colours - the ultimate choice for stunning results! These colours are specially crafted for bisque, bringing a glossy sheen to life when fired, thanks to their frit-based composition.

With Duncan Concepts Underglazes, versatility is the name of the game! Achieve ethereal, translucent designs with just one coat or go bold and solid with three coats. Plus, you can breathe easy knowing they are nontoxic and food-safe when three solid coats are applied or when paired with a food-safe clear glaze.

For flawless outcomes, make sure Concepts is completely dry before glazing. From subtle elegance to rich opaqueness, these underglazes offer you endless creative possibilities.

Dive into your projects with confidence! Concepts are perfect for overall coverage, and their magic extends to washes and watercolor techniques. Let your artistic visions come to life with Duncan Concepts Underglaze Colours - the artist's dream come true!

The Concepts numbering system (for most of the palette) is unique and useful when decorating: a. Colours ending in a 1 are light in tone
b. Colours ending in a 2 are bright in tone
c. Colours ending in a 3 are dark in tone
