Originally underglazes, refer to ceramic colors used under-the-glaze, like a foundation.Now the term generally refers to a product put on greenware that is covered with a clear glaze. Underglazes can be translucent or opaque.
One Strokes are translucent underglazes that have a light, airy look and concentrated color. These translucent underglazes appear almost the same color in the bottle as on the finished piece. This allows mixing, shading and blending with them to be done with minimal complications. They can be compared to the artist’s watercolors. The “see-through” characteristics of translucent underglazes allow shading of one color over another to achieve depth and dimension. Translucent Underglazes are not intended for large area coverage. Requiring only one coat, they are excellent for design work, two-tone shaded techniques and accents. As the name states, One Strokes infers one stroke of the brush. When multiple colors are applied, the thinning of the color and thinner layers of the product allow the product to be used to its full advantage. The thinning of the One Strokes and the amount of the application is adjusted to the number of times a color is used on a given area. The final depth of color should be no more than a generous stroke of the brush with unthinned One Strokes. It is important to thin One Strokes to the proper consistency for the type of work being done. Concentrated translucent colors are designed for relatively thin applications that naturally result from one brush stroke. Very heavy applications of color can lead to problems with dry areas, cracking or bare spots where the One Strokes may pop off, taking the glaze with it. Bleeding of darker colors of blue and black may occur, but is generally the result of not firing the color before glazing or too heavy an application of the top glaze. When applied too thinly, the color will seem to disappear under the topcoat of clear glaze after firing. The One Stroke has to be thick enough so that the top glaze does not “cannibalize” it. Thinning with water minimizes the danger of too heavy an application, but over-diluting can cause the loss of color. Mayco AC-304 Media can be used with water or alone to thin color for brush strokes and sponging. Media helps suspend the color without diluting it. As a rule, darker colors can with stand more thinning than lighter shades. For airbrushing bright red oranges and purples, it is more effective to thin colors using media. (*Mayco does not recommend spraying or airbrushing ceramic glazes and underglazes. In any case, do not spray apply ceramic products without proper OSHA approved respiration equipment.) Use a palette knife to thin the color to the consistency of light cream for most applications. The consistency of very light cream is recommended for banding wheel work and decorating over unfired glazes. A wash of color, spattering or full brush shading over one color with another color would use a product thinned to the consistency of milk. With practice you will learn the feel of the product in its various uses. General rules for One Stroke application are: • Non-toxic • One Strokes are generally applied to greenware. They are sometimes applied to bisque, for special techniques such as color washes, Majolica or on top of an unfired glaze. • Dampen the greenware slightly before applying.
• Shake bottle well and thin with AC-304 Media or water. The consistency of the product depends upon the technique being completed. • Use a quality decorating brush for applying. • Can be intermixed to achieve more colors. • Use to tint opaque underglazes, glazes and slip. • Bisque fire to shelf cone 04. Product can be high-fired up to shelf cone 6, check high fire chart for stability at higher temperature. • Clean up using AC-525 Brush Cleaner and warm water. • Generally a glaze finish is applied after firing to bring out the true color and vividness of the product. Brushing One Strokes Because of the translucent quality of One Strokes, the direction of the brush stroke is apparent. This makes them ideal for artistic detail work and designs. Although One Strokes are not designed for solid coverage, generally they can be used satisfactorily on large areas if applied properly. Thin the color to the thickness of light cream, apply with a flat brush sized for the area. More than one coat of color thinned properly will produce a more opaque look.
