Its stable, non-moving base is perfect for majolica techniques with Stroke & Coat® glazes.

Foundations® glazes are available in a broad assortment of colors, opacities, and textures. They easily serve as the basic “foundation” glaze for any ceramic studio – be that in a school, home or your retail studio.

General Use

Foundations® gloss glazes were designed to mature at shelf cone 06/05. Apply 2-3 coats, allowing the surface to dry in-between coats. When applying to a large surface, we recommend a broad, soft brush such as CB-604 #4 Soft Fan.
