Fundamental and Functional

Begin your ceramic project with Foundations as the surface. Available in gloss opaque, gloss translucent and matte finishes.

Foundations glazes are available in a broad assortment of colors, opacities, and textures. Foundations glazes dry quickly, allowing immediate additional decorating and same day firing. They easily serve as the basic foundation glaze for any ceramic studio, be that in a school, home or your retail studio.

• Foundations Opaque Broad palette of colors that produce a beautiful, smooth high gloss finish and can be intermixed for custom colors.
• Foundations Sheer These soft translucent glazes add a tint of color to your work, allowing surface textures or design to show through.
• Foundations Matte Fires to a beautiful, soft subdued matte finish. Matte finish will increase in glossiness if fired higher than cone 06.

General Use

Shake for 5-6 seconds before use. Dispense glaze onto a palette (tile, plate, etc.) and apply with your brush or decorating accessory of choice (sponge, stamp, etc.). Foundations glazes were designed to mature at a shelf cone 06/05. Apply 2-3 coats, on cone 04 bisque, allowing surface to dry in-between coats. Foundations dries quickly and speeds up your ability to handle or perform additional decorating. Glaze fires to high-gloss finishes (excludes mattes), therefore does not need to be clear glazed. When applying to a large surface, we recommend a broad, soft brush such as CB-604 #4 Soft Fan. Try to get the brush fully saturated (loaded) and apply each coat in the same direction to minimize brush marks.

Foundations have been formulated to mature at cone 06/05. However most will maintain their color at higher temperatures. Their performance at cone 6 is noted on each individual product label. We recommend testing on your clay body and in your kiln prior to use.

NOTE: Please refer to each specific glaze product label for information about applications for dinnerware, health, and food safety.Foundations are AP Non-Toxic, Food Safe and Dinnerware Safe when used according to manufacturers directions.
