Velvets are semi-translucent underglazes offer two finishes. When left unglazed they have the appearance of velour or velvet. They will intensify in colour when covered with a transparent gloss glaze.

Amaco Velvets V380 to V384 and V387 to V391 are formulated with encapsulated red, orange and bright yhellow pigments, which make them very colour and temperature stable. This enables them to be used for detailed design work at cone 06/05 or they can be fired up to cone 6 and still maintain their intensity and brightness. All the Velvets are very rich colours and can be used for an all over coverage. They fire true to colour as applied from the jar and may be intermixed to create a palette of hundreds of colours. These colours may be

• Applied to greenware which is to be bisque fired before applying a glaze.
• ​Or to bisque before applying a glaze.

For opaque coverage by brushing, the consistency of the colour in the jar is correct. Velvets tolerate a wide firing range, but before firing to high stoneware temperatures we strongly recommend testing.

Direction for use:

Shake and stir well before using. For solid coverage apply three even coats to greenware or bisque. Velvet underglazes can also be used for shading and detail work. If Velvet underglazes are glazed the colour will intensify. Thin with water if necessary.
