Key Features

• 10 Rich Colors per Set: A versatile palette lets you create everything from fine sketch lines to expressive, layered compositions.
• High-Temperature Compatible: Formulated to withstand firing temperatures of 1100°C – 1300°C (2012°F – 2372°F), ensuring vibrant, lasting color after kiln firing.
• Lead & Cadmium Free: Environmentally conscious formula — safe, healthy, and responsible for artists of all ages.
• Sketch-Style Ease: Mimics the natural feel of pencil drawing, making it effortless to express hand-drawn, illustrative ceramic art.
• Wooden Barrel Construction: Each pencil measures 17 × 0.7 cm for a comfortable, familiar grip — just like a standard artist's pencil.
• Convenient Boxed Set: Comes neatly organized in a plastic box for easy storage and portability in your studio or workshop.

How to Use

1. Apply designs onto bisque-fired ceramic or greenware surfaces.
2. Overlay a clear or transparent glaze as desired.
3. Fire in a kiln at your target temperature (1100°C–1300°C) to reveal brilliant, permanent underglaze color.

Pro Tip: The underglaze pigment core is softer than a standard graphite pencil. For best results, sharpen with a sharp craft knife rather than a mechanical or rotary sharpener — this preserves the thicker core and prevents breakage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What surfaces can I use these underglaze color pencils on?

A: These underglaze color pencils are designed for use on bisque-fired ceramics and greenware (unfired clay). They work best on porous, unglazed surfaces before a clear glaze coat and kiln firing are applied.

Q: Do I need a glaze over the underglaze pencil marks before firing?

A: While the underglaze color will survive kiln firing on its own, applying a clear or transparent glaze over the design before firing will produce a glossy, polished finish and help seal and protect the artwork permanently.

Q: Are these pencils safe for children to use in art class?

A: Yes — the underglaze formula is lead-free and cadmium-free, making it a safer choice for school and studio use. As always, adult supervision is recommended when children use any art supply, especially near a kiln.

Q: What firing temperature range is compatible with these pencils?

A: These underglaze color pencils are rated for kiln firing temperatures between 1100°C and 1300°C (approximately Cone 04 to Cone 10), covering a wide range of standard ceramic firing schedules.
