E-Z Stroke Underglazes are ideal for airbrushing, antiquing and brushwork. They can be applied directly to greenware or bisque and layered over most underglazes, allowing the base-coat to show through. They’re safe for serving food when coated with a food-safe clear glaze.

Tips & Techniques

1. E-Z Stroke® Underglazes may be applied over most underglazes, and other E-Z Stroke® colors, allowing the base color to show through.

2. E-Z Stroke® Underglazes work well with high fire, cone 5-6 and some to cone 10. As high results vary, we recommend firing a test piece.

3. For majolica, apply E-Z Stroke® design work over unfired White Satin glaze.

4. As a pure pigment-based paint, E-Z Stroke® Underglazes are the simplest form of fired color. You can use E-Z Stroke® Underglazes just like watercolors, in layers of transparent/translucent, bold, pure color. And, just like watercolors, you can inter-mix all the E-Z Stroke® colors. Just as for typical watercolors, these paints must be mixed with water to be applied properly to greenware or soft fired bisque for the best application. E-Z Stroke® Underglazes are very fragile unfired, because when the water dries out of the pigment there are no binders holding it in place. E-Z Stroke® Underglazes fires into the ware at an 04 or hotter cone, although most of the pigments will hold true up to a cone 10. This broad firing range allows artists to use E-Z Stroke® Underglazes on almost all clay bodies

5. E-Z Stroke® Underglazes are perfect for airbrushing.

6. Use E-Z Stroke® Underglazes to tint clay slip, most glazes, fired Snow and other E-Z Stroke® colors.

7. High definition and detail can be achieved by adding water to E-Z Stroke® color and using a very fine brush.
