Glazing woes?? Have no fear - Amaco is here!! Follow along in our first Top 5 video where we guide you through our top tips and tricks when it comes to brushing glaze on your ceramic wares.

The sample pieces we show in Amaco ads and layering brochures aren't achieved by camera tricks or elaborate firing schedules, but simply by a uniform method for applying glazes and tracking results.

Teacher's Palette Family

AMACO® Teacher's Palette® (TP) liquid gloss glazes are completely intermixable so they can be blended with each other or with any of the AMACO® Teacher's Palette Light® (TPL) glazes to create an infinite color palette. The 24 glazes are AP certified, LEAD FREE, dinnerware safe, offer brilliant color, and are safe for use by artists of any age. Try layering patterns and designs with these glazes for a brilliant majolica-style decorative surface.

•Great for Painterly Details
•Completely Intermixable Colors for infinite color palette
•Can be layered without bleeding
•Shown on White Clay
•Cone 05 - 1046°C (at 150°C/hour for the final 100°C of firing) / 1915°F (at 270°F/hour in the final 200°F of firing)

DIRECTIONS: Teacher’s Palette (TP) glazes may be blended with each other or any Teacher’s Choice (TC) glaze, and are a great solution for cost effective and brilliant color cone 05 glazing. Shake and stir well before using.

Apply 3 coats for full coverage or fewer coats for a more transparent look on mature cone 04 bisque. Glazes may be layered by brushing or slip trailing without bleeding of colors.
Cover the entire surface with any combination of TP or TC glazes and simply fire to cone 05. If TP and TC glazes are used for only partial coverage of the bisque, dip the partially decorated bisque into AMACO® DC-10 Clear Dipping Glaze and fire in one step to cone 05 for a brilliant surface.
