| Walker Ceramics are pleased to announce the
release of our new
Design Colour Range
Just read what Jackie Gasson From "The Clayshed" in Queensland has to say: "At Last Bright Stoneware Colours" Several years ago, potters began asking for lighter, brighter colours. Gone were the browns, they wanted colour in their lives & pots. But the problem was that "Pastels Only" was the norm and even they were limited to earthenware temperatures. There was no such thing as Orange, Red, Pink or Lime Green at stoneware temperatures. Then Walker Ceramics sent me a range of their new Design Colour Concentrates for my evaluation. I wanted long, flowing strokes, without losing colour, good absorbency on bisque & colour that doesn't rub off. Was I asking too much? NO! I started testing & found they all fired to 1300 without fading. Brush strokes were silky, fluid & long. I was able to develop tonal changes just by more or less pressure on the brush & best of all I could extend the concentrate without loss of colour. Colours don't rub off, resulting in ease of glazing; glazes are smooth & mature with no crawling. The lack of clay in the colour makes them very suitable for majolica. Specialist glazes are available to suit your clay & temperature range. Altogether I feel most excited about these colours. Design Colour Concentrates are the answer to many potters, including me, wanting versatility & brilliance of earthenware & stoneware colours.
