I have searched high and low for a source for fired-on overglaze enamels
with no luck. I would like to try some on cone 10 stoneware and porcelain. I
am looking for just basic colors, such as red, green, blue, yellow, etc...If
anyone knows where I might be able to find some I would apprieciate it. You
can email me directly at: cmrdesigns@hotmail.com
THANKS!

Hi Chris,
I'm guessing that maybe the nomenclature is the problem
with your searches. I found them at Seattle Pottery listed as "Over
glaze." Enamels are decorated after the glaze firing, at a lower
temperature. Shimaoka sensei had us prepare the surfaces with a
solution made from gelatin, to help the enamels stick to the glazed
surfaces. Jan MacKeachie Johnson uses American lead-free commercial
enamels to good effect. Not sure if these are the same below, but
there is a huge selection of colors to choose from. When I have my
small wood-kiln set up, I plan on experimenting with these lead-free
American enamels.
