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 manufacturer’s directions.
