Concepts Underglazes





Non toxic underglazes formulated for use with bisqueware.

2 US Fl. Oz/ 59ml size available- great for take out packs!

Duncan Concepts Underglazes have a versatile formula that allows for translucent designs with one coat and solid coverage with three. They’re also non toxic and food-safe with the application of three solid coats or when food-safe clear glaze is applied over them.

For best results, allow Concepts to dry completely before glazing. One to three coats of underglaze can be applied.

1 coat coverage is translucent.
2 coat coverage is semi-translucent or semi-opaque.
3 coat coverage is generally opaque.

Can be used for overall coverage. Can be used for washes and watercolour technique.

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
