Walker Ceramics Design Colours are "paint" for clay. You can decorate with confidence as all colours reflect the final fired colour, except for FK21 Cobalt Sea , which appears mauve in the bottle but actually fires a deep, vibrant blue. This means that you can use your creativity & decorate your work trusting your eye.
Design Colours are easy to use and are suitable for greenware or bisque. They are suitable for all levels of skill; they bring clay to life!
The colours are smooth flowing and can be converted in Earthenware majolica colours or be extended using our specialist Flux Extender. Extension of the colours can produce beautiful translucent effects. Colour may be diluted as required with Brushing Medium, Flux Extender or water.

APPLICATION
Designs can drawn on the clay surface before painting, using either a soft lead pencil, e.g. 6B, or using carbon transfer paper.
Shake bottle well before use. Use colours directly from the bottle or dilute as above, applying 2 to 3 coats for a solid colour or 1 coat for translucent colour. After applying colour on greenware you can sgraffito/carve through the colour into the clay. The lines will burn out during firing. Allow the work to dry. If applying to greenware, bisque fire then apply glazes and fire as normal. If applying to bisque, apply your clear glaze then fire.
Design Colours can be fired between 1000°C and 1300°C: they will remain vibrant & will not burn out.

HEALTH & SAFETY
Design Colours are a highly refined underglaze and are completely lead free and non-toxic. They comply with ASTM666. They are water based and non flammable, except for the container itself. Your work will be food safe after glazing and firing. When scratching or sanding back dry surfaces it is recommended that the normal dust protection precautions are taken.
