My favorite working property of Speedball Underglaze is its dried surface, once it’s applied to my bisque ware. It has a soft unfired glaze surface, allowing other material applications to be easily applied. When I lay a sticky vinyl stencil on top of it, I can rely on the underglaze surface to stay in place while I work. I am able to use underglaze pencils over the surface with success. As I work, I use a lot of layered colors. Speedball Underglaze allows me to add layers without the worry of it ever being too thick. Surface defects do not seem to be an issue with this method. Finally, I can add layers of glaze over the underglaze surface as I work, making the entire decorative process workable, without the need to rebisque between steps.
