AMACO Velvets semi-translucent underglazes offer two finish possibilities.
When left unglazed they have the appearance of velour or velvet. They
will intensify in color when covered with an AMACO Clear Transparent Gloss
glaze. Velvets tolerate a wide firing range with recommended firing temperature
being that of the clay used. The color chip shown above is on a low-fire
white clay body; half of the color sample has no clear glaze and the other
half is shown covered with LG10 Clear Transparent. For a downloadable
PDF of the full color chart and list prices, click

All the Velvets are very rich colors and can be used
for an all over coverage similar to an opaque underglaze. They fire true
to color as applied from the jar and may be intermixed to create a palette
of hundreds of colors. The colors may be brushed (1) on greenware which
is to be bisque fired before applying a covering glaze or (2) on a mature
Cone 04 (1971°F, 1077°C) bisque, then a covering glaze applied.
Velvet Underglazes are semi-transluscent with one brushed coat and opaque
with two to three brushed coats. For opaque coverage by brushing, the
consistency of the color in the jar is correct.
NOTES: V-317 Medium Pink will change color and
blister at Cone 5. V-303 Terra Cotta will fade away when glazed over.
If you need to use this color and glaze it, then substitute with V-366
Teddy Bear Brown. Velvets 380-384 have a unique formula that makes them
very versatile. They can be used in detailed design work as a Cone 05/06
underglaze or they can be fired up to Cone 6 and maintain their intensity
and brightness. V-387 Bright Red, V-388 Radiant Red, V-389 Flame Orange,
V-390 Bright Orange, and V-391 Intense Yellow are the latest addition
of very bright colors. These colors, when applied and fired, have a very
vivid, luminescent glow.
Velvets were developed to be used without a glaze
cover. They should not be used on surfaces which come into contact with
food or drink without a dinnerware safe clear glaze over them. AMACO glazes
LG-9, LG-10, F-10, DC-10, and HF-9 are recommended as clear glazes over
Velvets. V-327 will appear Green Turquoise under LG-9 and Blue Turquoise
under LG-10. For best results, apply two coats only of V-317, 318, 321,
322, 325, 326, 371, and 375.
***AMACO Velvet Underglazes have only been tested
and approved as dinnerware safe when applied and fired under LG-10 Clear
Glaze. Other glazes may also be used. Tableware producers
must have all finished ware tested and approved as safe for dinnerware
through a certified laboratory due to possible variations in firing temperature
and possible contamination.
