Duncan Concepts
(Underglaze for Bisque)

    The versatile Duncan Concepts were specifically designed for application to cone 04 bisque.  Duncan Concepts can be applied as a one stroke for nearly translucent coverage, or three coats for opaque coverage.  The entire series of 88 colors are nontoxic and will be dinnerware safe if used in conjunction with a dinnerware safe glaze.  Duncan Concepts if used in a majolica technique over a white gloss of satin glaze will have a glossy appearance.  The product line has 72 colors in the primary series, 9 earth-tone colors and 7 neon colors.
    The Duncan Concepts were conceived by Duncan as a Balanced Color Palette.  The Duncan Concepts line was developed chromatically in families and series of colors designed to work optimally together.  CN 011 is Light Straw, CN 012 is Bright Straw and CN 013 is Dark Straw.  CN 011, 012 and 013 make a color family.  Colors in the same families are chromatically designed to work well together.  Light, Bright and Dark are the series of colors.  Colors in the same series of colors were chromatically designed to work well together.  The chromatic families and series of Duncan Concepts allow both the novice and professional user of Duncan Concepts to easily plan projects that will have the greatest color appeal. 
    All Duncan Concepts are available in 2 oz and 8 oz squeeze bottles.  Select colors are also manufactured in gallon bottles.  Dogwood Ceramic Supply stocks all available sizes and colors.

Learning About Concepts® Underglazes for Majolica and Bisque

Basic Instructions
1. Apply 1 coat for translucent designs.
2. Apply 3 coats for solid coverage.
3. Apply to shelf cone 04 bisque.
4. Fire to shelf cone 06.
5. Clean up with water.
6. Always refer to label instructions for proper application and usage.
 

Tips & Techniques
1. For Majolica, apply Concepts designs over 3 coats of SN 352 White Satin.
2. For quick and easy solid coverage, try the drop 'n fill technique. Generously load a #6 or #8 round brush with Concepts and drop color onto desired area. Let dry.
3. Concepts colors mix and blend easily. Be creative and mix your own blend using two or more Concept colors.
4. Concepts works well up to cone 5-6. For high fire applications, we recommend firing a test piece because high fire clays vary.
 

Health & Safety
1. Nontoxic and lead-free.
