Engobes are colored slips, and are used on greenware for decorating with colors, and for carving through.
Western Engobe LEAD FREE Vitreous Colored Slips - engobes give you the versatility of brush-on slips, great for sgraffito or as a base for painting on (majolica). Our vitreous slip formulas are matt at low fire, but become more satin glaze-like at mid-fire and are glossy when high fired. Most colors work to cone ten (reduction not recommended).
