Susy Fairbairn Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Hi, After bisque can I apply underglazes and also a clear glaze and then fire or do I have to fire after each application? Thanks S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 I've found it's best to bisque fire the underglaze on first. There are gums in the underglaze that can inhibit getting a good glaze laydown. Some people do put the glaze on dry but unfired underglaze though. It's just a question of if your underglazes are okay with it. Can you run a quick test? See if the underglaze smudges or runs when glazed and if the glaze laydown is adequate. Welcome to the forum.

I do not do a separate firing between underglaze and glaze with bisqueware. However, I am wondering if I should rethink that with certain colors. (Intense yellow and flame orange). But I have been trying to apply more underglaze on greenware. Simply to speed up the glaze process. Food for thought, always. Pottery always gives a person something to think about!
