<strong>COLOR</strong> <strong>GUIDE</strong>
Duncan<br />
nterprises<br />
E<br />
welcomes you to its latest splash of<br />
color! As we continue to strive to provide<br />
our ceramic artists the best in innovative new products, I’m pleased to announce<br />
that this latest Color Guide includes over 50 new colors displayed on inspirational<br />
pieces from artists around the world. You can refer to the inside back cover of<br />
this guide to learn more about many of our contributing artists.<br />
Duncan ceramic products and educational programs are the most used and<br />
trusted since our original founder, my grandmother Erma Duncan, discovered the<br />
ceramic arts in 1946. She would be pleased with the continued efforts we make<br />
to provide you, the artist and craftsperson, with the best color palettes available.<br />
Making color selection easy begins with having a full range of color available<br />
and ends with having the color placed in a fashion that facilitates easy choices.<br />
You will notice we have reorganized many of our popular color lines to make it<br />
easier for you to select color.<br />
Each of our color palettes was evaluated for its ability to meet basic and<br />
advanced color needs. What you will find with the Duncan balanced palettes are<br />
complete color lines, with little or no duplication. We kept the most popular<br />
colors, added basic colors where needed and spiced up the lines with colors that<br />
you’ve been asking for. Look for our exciting new additions to the E-Z Stroke,<br />
Cover-Coat, Envision, Ultra Metallic, Opaque Acrylics, Translucent Stains and<br />
Antiquing Gel lines.<br />
Duncan University continues to grow, thanks to over 200 International<br />

2 DUNCAN <strong>COLOR</strong> <strong>GUIDE</strong><br />
Health and Safety<br />
Duncan Enterprises shares your concerns about health and safety,<br />
which is why we have pursued the development of dinnerware-safe<br />
and nontoxic glazes for more than 50 years and why we are<br />
committed to maintaining the highest level of safety standards.<br />
This all-inclusive color guide includes current information on every product in the Duncan fired,<br />
acrylic and accessory product lines. As you select products from this guide, please note that all<br />
nontoxic fired products have been placed in the front of the guide. Fired products that contain<br />
cautionary warnings and that are recommended for use by professionals only are placed in the<br />
center of the guide.<br />
To further assist you in selecting the right products for your needs, each product listed is<br />
accompanied by either the Nontoxic seal or Caution seal (shown at right). Please take the proper<br />
precautions when using products with the Caution seal.<br />
The Duncan ASTM D-4236 CAUTION seal found on corresponding<br />
Duncan product labels is similar to ACMI CL standards. Products with<br />
this seal are certified to be properly labeled with information on safe and<br />
proper handling and use. These products have also undergone a<br />
toxicological evaluation by a medical expert, and labels disclose any<br />
known health risks associated with improper handling of the products.<br />
The Duncan ASTM D-4236 NONTOXIC seal is similar to ACMI AP<br />
standards. This seal is your assurance that Duncan nontoxic products<br />
contain no materials in sufficient quantity to be toxic or injurious to<br />
humans, or to cause acute or chronic health problems.<br />
Due to changing FDA and Consumer Product Safety Commission<br />
regulations, ALWAYS refer to the product label for safety information.<br />

E-Z Stroke Translucent Underglazes have<br />
become popular for their versatility. The intense<br />
pigment in E-Z Strokes colors allows you to<br />
achieve high definition and decoration in any<br />
project. And their translucent quality makes them<br />
suitable for use with a number of decorating techniques,<br />
including airbrushing, antiquing and brushwork. Similar to watercolor, a single layer of<br />
color is all you need for most design work. Additional layers may be added for shading<br />
and depth.<br />
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS<br />
1. Apply 1 coat for translucent<br />
designs.<br />
2. For rich shading and depth,<br />
apply additional coats.<br />
3. Apply to greenware, unfired<br />
glaze, soft-fired bisque or cone<br />
04 bisque.<br />
4. Fire to shelf cone 04 bisque.<br />
5. Apply Clear Glaze, stilt and<br />
fire to shelf cone 06.<br />

TIPS & TECHNIQUES<br />
• E-Z Strokes may be applied over most underglazes, including<br />
Cover-Coat ® and other E-Z Strokes colors. Their transparency<br />
allows base color to show through.<br />
• E-Z Strokes work well with low- and high-fire, up to a cone 5-6 and<br />
some to cone 10.<br />
• As high-fire results vary, we recommend firing a test piece.<br />
• For majolica, apply E-Z Strokes design work over unfired White<br />
Satin Glaze.<br />
• Pure and pigment-based E-Z Strokes can be used just like<br />
watercolors, alone or intermixed in layers of translucent, bold, pure<br />
color.<br />
• E-Z Strokes are fragile when unfired. When the water dries out of<br />
the pigment, there are no binders holding it in place until it is fired.<br />
• Use E-Z Strokes to tint clay slip, most glazes, fired snow and other<br />
E-Z Strokes colors.<br />
• High definition and detail can be achieved by adding water to E-Z<br />
Strokes color and using a very fine brush.<br />
Note: E-Z Strokes are food safe when properly covered with a<br />
Duncan lead-free clear glaze.<br />

TIPS & TECHNIQUES<br />
• Painting with Cover-Coat<br />
Opaque underglaze is similar to<br />
painting with acrylic paints and is<br />
a great fired alternative for a tole and<br />
decorative painter. Colors are opaque and<br />
generally one color covers the one beneath it.<br />
• Cover-Coat without clear glaze over them, fire to<br />
an opaque, porous, velvet with matte finish.<br />
• Nontoxic clear glazes seal Cover-Coat porous<br />
surface, making utility pieces food safe, and allows<br />
the true underglaze colors to show through.<br />
• Cover-Coat airbrushes beautifully.<br />
• All colors can be mixed, blended, and thinned<br />
with water and floated.<br />
• Cover-Coat may be tinted with E-Z Strokes<br />
Translucent Underglazes or other Cover-Coat<br />
colors to create unique custom colors.<br />
• Cover-Coat dries quickly and can easily be<br />
painted over without lifting the colors underneath.<br />
• To sgraffito, gently scratch through the applied<br />
color using the TL 407 sgraffito-duster to reveal<br />
the color or the clay body beneath it.<br />

TIPS & TECHNIQUES<br />
• Crackletone Clear Glaze can be successfully used over<br />
most underglazes.<br />
• Once Crackletone Clear Glaze is fired, wipe piece with<br />
India ink, thinned Translucent Stains or acrylic paint.<br />
• Wipe back with soft cloth to enhance crackle pattern.<br />
• For decorative vessels, we recommend using transparent<br />
Envision <strong>Glazes</strong> for the inside.<br />
• Crackletone Clear Glaze is not waterproof and should not<br />
be applied to food containers. Crackletone Clear Glaze is<br />
often used on decorative pieces such as lamp bases,<br />
bookends, figurines and vases for dried and silk flowers.<br />
TIPS & TECHNIQUES<br />
• Use clean hands or dipping tongs (available at ceramics<br />
supply shops) to hold the ware.<br />
• Dip with 1 single smooth motion, in and out of the glaze,<br />
using wrist action to turn the ware in the glaze.<br />
• Keep ware from touching the sides or bottom of dipping<br />
container, as the glaze coating may be wiped away from<br />
contact areas.<br />
• As you remove the ware from dipping container, shake any<br />
drips from the ware.<br />
• Before placing the dipped ware on a rack or cart,<br />
finger-smooth any drips or runs.<br />
Note: Most clear dipping glazes are food safe.<br />
Due to its cracked surface, CR 800D is not food<br />
safe.<br />

dry thoroughly before<br />
applying color. While the<br />
color is still slightly<br />
damp, lift the corner of<br />
the masked areas with a<br />
tool or your fingernail,<br />
and use your fingertips<br />
to gently roll the mask<br />
toward the area.<br />
TIPS & TECHNIQUES<br />

over the ware. Remove the mask while the color<br />
is still slightly damp.<br />
• Glaze design: Paint a design with Mask 'n Peel<br />
directly on bisque or over 3 coats of dry, unfired<br />
glaze applied to shelf cone 04 bisque. When<br />
mask is dry, apply 1 coat of a second glaze<br />
color, then remove mask while glaze is still<br />
slightly damp.<br />
• SY 555 Write & Peel is great for creating lines<br />
and dots.<br />

2. Dip with one single, smooth motion, in and out of the glaze, using<br />
wrist action to turn the ware in the glaze.<br />
3. Keep ware from touching the sides or bottom of dipping container,<br />
as the glaze coating may be wiped away from contact areas.<br />
4. As you remove the ware from the dipping container, shake any<br />
drips from the ware.<br />
5. Before placing the dipped ware on a rack or cart, smooth any drips<br />

range from solid to translucent, and each contains tiny flecks of accent<br />
color. Finishes range from satin to glossy. The shape of the ware and the<br />
thickness of application will influence the final appearance, and no two<br />
firings are likely to produce exactly the same result!<br />

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS<br />
1. Make sure that the surface of your piece is free of dust, skin oils and lotions to<br />
ensure proper adhesion. Wipe surfaces with rubbing alcohol prior to applying the<br />
overglaze (except when used over Crackle <strong>Glazes</strong>).<br />
2. Apply with a brush that is designated solely for use with the particular overglaze<br />
used.<br />
3. Place a small amount of overglaze on a glazed palette. Apply 1 smooth coat.<br />
Do not let gold pool in an area; brush it out smoothly.<br />
4. Correct application should produce a red, green or caramel rich color when<br />
unfired, depending on overglaze used.<br />
5. Stilt and fire gold overglaze to shelf cone 019-018.<br />
6. Clean brush in Essence and let dry.<br />
7. Overglazed ware can be fired while it is still wet. The kiln must be clean, well<br />
ventilated (do not overload) and follow a normal firing schedule. Do not touch wet<br />
decoration and handle as little as possible until ware is fired to avoid smudging.<br />
Luster—Mother-of-Pearl<br />
A translucent overglaze with a lustrous iridescence.<br />
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Before beginning, follow steps 1 and 2<br />
under Basic Instructions for Precious<br />
Metals.<br />
1. Place a small amount of overglaze on<br />
a glazed palette.<br />
2. For a swirled look, swirl on 1 coat,<br />
overlapping strokes. For a smooth look,<br />
brush on all strokes in the same direction.<br />
Correct application should produce a light<br />
blue tint. Clean brush in Essence and let<br />
dry.<br />
3. Follow step 7 under Basic Instructions<br />
for Precious Metals. Stilt and fire Motherof-Pearl<br />
to shelf cone 020.<br />
Overglaze Accessory—Essence<br />
TIPS & TECHNIQUES<br />
• The appearance of Mother-of-<br />
Pearl will vary with the type of<br />
glaze over which it is applied.<br />
OG 803<br />
When applied over a gloss glaze, Mother-of-Pearl<br />
Mother-of-Pearl will add a shiny<br />
luster. When applied over a matte<br />
glaze, Mother-of-Pearl will add a dull luster.<br />
• If Mother-of-Pearl is accidentally applied on the wrong<br />
area, dip a cotton swab in Essence and wipe off<br />
misplaced color.<br />
• If any areas are missed, go back and touch up before<br />
Mother-of-Pearl dries.<br />
• If using a metallic overglaze and Mother-of-Pearl on<br />
the same piece, apply and fire the metallic overglaze<br />
first.<br />
Used to clean brushes and tools used with overglazes. Any other cleaning agent<br />
may contain water or solvents that will cause separation of the overglaze during<br />
subsequent applications.<br />
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS<br />
1. Swish overglaze<br />
brush in solvent until<br />
bristles are free of<br />
product. Wipe on paper<br />
towel.<br />
DM-2237<br />
TIPS & TECHNIQUES<br />
• Use a separate bottle of Essence for each overglaze product.<br />
• Mark the bottles according to which overglaze product was<br />
used. Contamination can result if brushes and/or Essence used<br />
with one product come in contact with brushes and/or Essence<br />
used with another.<br />
TIPS & TECHNIQUES<br />
• The appearance of the gold will vary<br />
with the type of glaze over which it is<br />
applied.<br />
• When applied over a gloss glaze, the<br />
gold will be shiny. When applied over a<br />
matte glaze, the gold will be dull.<br />
• If gold is accidentally applied on the<br />
wrong area, dip a cotton swab in<br />
Essence and wipe off misplaced color.<br />
• If any areas are missed, go back and<br />
touch up before gold overglaze dries.<br />
• If using a metallic overglaze and<br />
Mother-of-Pearl on the same piece,<br />
apply and fire the metallic overglaze<br />
first.<br />

• Cake decorator technique: Use palette knife to fill pastry tube with No-Fire<br />
Snow or Glittering No-Fire Snow. Select tips with large design openings, as<br />
snow products may clog smaller openings. Use slow, steady pressure to<br />
squeeze design onto surface to be decorated. Clean design tips thoroughly<br />
and dispose of the pastry tube. As an alternative to a pastry tube, you can<br />
also use a plastic sandwich bag.<br />
• Brush design techniques: Load a round synthetic bristle brush heavily<br />
with No-Fire Snow or Glittering No-Fire Snow, allowing a small amount of<br />
the product to remain on the tip of the brush bristles. To create raised<br />
flower petals and leaves, place tip of brush at end of flower petal or base of<br />
leaf. Press down on the brush, slightly rolling the bristles as stroke is pulled<br />
out. Allow to dry for 24-48 hours, then paint design with acrylic colors.<br />
• Palette knife technique: Nonfired Snows can be applied with a palette<br />
knife to create landscapes and designs. Experiment with pressing, pulling<br />
and twisting motions with the palette knife for a variety of raised effects.<br />
Allow to dry for 24-48 hours, then paint design with acrylic colors.<br />
• Holiday Decorations: Nonfired Snows can be added to completed<br />
projects, including ceramic bisque, wood, plaster, glass tree ornaments,<br />
grapevine wreaths, greeting cards and more. Nonfired Snows are not<br />
recommended for decorating holiday windows, as they are permanent<br />
when dry.<br />
• Snows can be tinted with OS Opaque Acrylics to create custom colors.<br />

a marbled design. Let dry and apply Step 2 over<br />
marbled design; let dry and cracks will appear.<br />

• Cracking follows the direction in which the topcoat<br />
color was applied. If color was swirled on, the<br />
cracks swirl. Straight strokes will give your project<br />
straight cracks.<br />
• Over brushing can reduce amount of cracking.<br />
Apply acrylic quickly with 1 smooth, even coat.<br />
• Achieve large, bold cracks by applying a heavier<br />
topcoat color.<br />
• Achieve fine cracks by applying a thin topcoat color.<br />
• Achieve a fine, web cracking by sponging on topcoat<br />
color.<br />
• Flat Opaque brushes give the best results when<br />
applying Quik-Crackle.<br />
• When cracking has completed and the topcoat<br />
is completely dry, seal with spray sealer and<br />
add brushstrokes or design work.<br />
