(SE) Engobes
Engobes are either natural clays or a mixture of clays and ceramic raw materials, and are typically rich earth colors and subdued tones. Only water is added to obtain a working consistency like thick cream. AMACO Engobes can be applied to unfired clay using a variety of methods. Any AMACO® dry or moist pottery clay may be decorated with AMACO® Engobes and fired to the maturing temperature of the basic clay. Usually, a clear transparent glaze for unique effects is applied over the entire decorated shape.
•Mix with water and apply to unfired clay
•For a variety of slip techniques
•Cone 05 to 10
?Supplied in dry form to allow for different application techniques, these rich earth tones are beautiful when left unglazed on decorative ware. When glazed, they add color and dimension to the surface.
Engobes should be bisque fired to Cone 04 (1971°F, 1077°C), glazed, then fired to Cone 05 (1911°F, 1044°C). Or apply to Cone 5/6 clay, bisque fire, then glaze and fire to the temperature of the clay body.
Engobes are lead-free and non-toxic.
Caution — Engobes must be covered with a dinnerware-safe glaze such as Amaco F-10, LG-9, LG-10, HF-9 or HF-10.
