ashhorth Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Is there such a thing as neon underglaze, I have a client looking to have neons on their items but I can’t seem to find any? Is there an alternative that won’t burn off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 (edited) Neon glaze colors (bright colors) generally exist more so in lowfire glazes. I am not sure what is meant by neon other than bright color. Maybe Take a look here and see if this satisfies your color requirements https://www.maycocolors.com/color/low-fire-glazes/ There are some bright colors in underglazes as well. Again lowfire products often can be brighter than mid or high fire products. https://www.amaco.com/t/glazes-and-underglazes/underglaze/velvet-underglaze/velvet-underglazes Edited August 25 by Bill Kielb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterH Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Not certain what you mean by "neon", ideas that spring to mind are : - florescent/day-glow - bright under "black-light" - glow-in-the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterH Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 2 minutes ago, ashhorth said: Yes fluorescent Oh dear, I know people have made [slight] progress with the other two application areas, but I am unaware of anything for day-glow (daylight fluorescent). PS I will be delighted to be corrected, but I suspect that [all?] day-glow dyes are organic (and presumably incapable of surviving firing). While rare-earth pigments apparently require UV-lighting to glow.

Callie Beller Diesel Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 I agree with Peter. I think the closest thing we get in ceramics is the rare earth oxides. I’ve seen that pink/purple glaze from the link above in person. It changes colour in different lights and is *really* cool, but it wasn’t technically fluorescing, I don’t think. I also have a yellow glaze that I get from a praseodymium-based mason stain. While it’s a bright sunny yellow, it doesn’t fluoresce under black light.

PeterH Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 I suspect that it might be "staged" lighting, but perhaps somebody can comment on this: From: A – Z Collection by Maison Sauvage https://design-milk.com/a-z-collection-by-maison-sauvage/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 There are underglaze colors that are quite bright- yellow, orange, chartreuse- but I think that's about as close as you'll get in an underglaze, at least in commercial underglazes. I would ask your customer if those are a close enough match. Callie Beller Diesel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 An order! What price are you prepared to pu o your pots which will require such research? If the understains mentioned above do not suit, I'd walk away from order. Folk not into ceramics do not understad whst goes into such requests..
