Raw Materials
Underglaze in so many ways. Five liquid ranges, plus our awesome chalk and pencil options.
The power of one. Just pure, solid colour, no tricks or pooling effects here. Like your glaze straightforward and classy, this one is for you. Keep it sleek on low, mid, or high fire pieces.
The ultimate wildcard. With these glazes, every piece is one of a kind. Throw in some crevices, experiment with firing temps, and watch your art do its thing.
The show stopper. Glorious crystals bringing in the wow factor! Available in low and mid-fire, these beauties can craze like nobody’s business, so maybe don’t serve up dinner on them. But as eye candy? Next level.
For work that pops (literally). These glazes create a raised, textured effect that doesn’t flatten out in the firing. Great for linework, sponging, or even a little palette knife action. Works wonders at low or mid-fire.
Color treat, without the heat. These bad boys don’t go near a kiln – just like regular acrylic paint, but made for bisque. Perfect for kids’ programs and bisque art parties; just paint and go, no baking required.
Lock it in, for the win. The final seal! Work so good you want to eat off it? Food-safe option is for you. Just like your stuff shiny? We’ve got your back at low, mid, or high fire.

Powder
Keep the studio stocked. For high-volume glaze fiends who want to minimise waste. Buy in bulk and mix as you need. Awesome way to get a little more bang for your buck.

LOW FIRE MAGIC
Cast your wand (brush), swish, then flick! One coat gives ethereal translucence, while three provides full opaque protection.
This range works a charm on low fire greenware or bisque with colors that will ignite your imagination.
SKIP THE FIRE DANCE
Unlike other underglazes on the market, this one is for those who are short on time, want to simplify their process, or are secretly just a little lazy.
When these beauties are applied to bisque ware, simply dip your piece into clear glaze without firing on the color first. It’s that simple!
“The Cafe Color range offers wide flexibility in both their ability to be mixed for custom colors and to fire from low to mid-range temperatures in some colors.”

We’re beginner Friendly and here to help (FAQ)
We wouldn’t recommend mixing the colors themselves, but feel free to work with different ranges on the same piece! Just make sure you stick to the same firing temperatures across the ranges.
All Cafe Color fire between Cone 06 (999°C) – Cone 04 (1,060°C).
The Cafe Color range has the advantage that it can be dipped into clear glaze without firing on the color first (when decorating bisque).
Great for schools and studios where they are short on time to brush each piece with clear glaze.
Hell yes! Like a typical underglaze product, these guys can be applied to both greenware or bisque.
If fired between our recommended firing temperature, the color will be the same.
You can take a risk and fire the colors higher. Chances are you’ll see a color! Just know it won’t be the same as the color swatch shown.
We guarantee all our products for 2 years as long as they are stored out of direct sunlight and not contaminated. Please don’t use dirty brushes in your bottles or add back any unused underglaze to the bottle! – You’re just asking for trouble.
Tony, owner and chemist, has done a damn good job at nailing the shelf life on this range so expect them to last past 2 years.
