Botz 9061 Red Engobe

9061 Red Engobe

Botz Engobes are easy to use:  even young children can work with brush on engobes.  Apply to leatherhard or biscuit fired clay.  Brush on engobes are ideal for traditional engobe painting with the slip trailer.  The patterns created with it form a high relief on the clay surface.

You can also use Botz engobes like casting slip and pour them into plaster moulds, let them dry and fire to 1050°C.

Marble with Botz engobes: Thin the engobes then drip onto the surface and let them flow into each other, glaze transparent after bisque firing if desired.

To obtain an earthy matt surface, you can leave the engobe unglazed after biscuit firing.  Or glaze over with transparent and fire to 1050°C.
