Café Color G for paint-your-own studios

What Café Color G is

An underglaze that fires to a glossy surface on its own. Normally painted bisque needs clear glaze to shine and to be food safe. With Café Color G you can skip that step.

Why it suits a studio

• Fewer steps: the guest paints, you fire — no separate glazing.
• Less risk: the painted layer isn’t damaged by dipping in clear glaze.
• For children: a simple technique and a satisfying glossy result.

How to use it

1. Shake or stir well before use.
2. Brush onto low-fire bisque: one coat gives a translucent effect, three give full coverage.
3. Let each coat dry completely before the next.
4. Fire at cone 06–04 (approx. 1000–1060°C).

The colours are intermixable and do not bleed into each other. Compatible with the Underglaze and One Stroke series.

Food safety — one important rule

• If the piece is covered entirely with Café Color G and correctly fired, it is food safe even without clear glaze.
• If the piece also has colours from other series (Underglaze, One Stroke, Café Color), the whole piece must be covered with clear glaze.

Explain this rule to your guests too — or put only Café Color G on the painting table.
