STONEWARE ENGOBES
Engobes are a great option for those who want the look of other clay bodies but don’t want to add another clay to their studio because of contamination or messy clean-up.

GLAZE LAYERING & COMBINATIONS
Engobes can be complementary with layering and glaze combinations. Engobes impact glaze results when used as a base and tend to influence the flow of glazes. We recommend 2 coats of each glaze. Engobes eliminate glaze issues that are typical of darker clay bodies. Apply to wet clay, greenware, or bisque, and fire to preferred temperature; cone 5-10 (2167°F-2345°F / 1186°C-1285°C). SEE MORE
