AMACO402800 Velvet Underglaze, 1 Pint Capacity Jar, V-361, Jet Black

I absolutely love this underglaze. I mainly use it for sgraffito, and it’s been incredibly dependable. I apply 3 coats onto greenware and the coverage is always smooth and even. I always get a rich, deep black that contrasts beautifully with the clay body.This is a solid, high-quality underglaze that does exactly what it promises. It’s become a staple in my studio, and I’ll definitely be reordering. Highly recommend!

With three coats, this underglaze provides solid coverage. I like the Amaco Underglazes because I can control the color and easily apply small details. Without a clear glaze over it, it will fire to an almost suede look like the first picture. With glaze, it looks like the second photo.

I’m not sure why the rating system mentions “sheerness”? That’s not anyone’s goal when using underglaze lol. It’s thick and opaque as it’s intended use requires. This is the best brand of underglaze out there, I only use amaco. Check out examples of the black underglaze on my art Instagram @kiln_me_softly :)

Amaco is my preferred underglaze. Have had better, more satisfying results than with other brands

Perfect for some pots I was making. Fires to true and looks great under transparent glaze

I use it all the time

Amaco's velvet black underglaze should be a staple in everybody's pottery studio. Black makes everything pop and adds character to my pieces when I paint it on a bisque piece and wipe it off leaving it just in the crevices.

Color looks amazing!It is a very dark and true black. I fire to cone 6 and did not clear over the black and it looks great. Highly recommended and I'll be buying more.
