Bring printmaking techniques to ceramics with AMACO Ceramic Inks. Developed specifically for ceramic surfaces, these highly pigmented inks allow artists to create crisp, vibrant prints on greenware or bisque-fired clay using screen printing, monoprinting, and craft foam printing techniques.
The inks produce rich, saturated color that fires true across a wide firing range from Cone 05 to Cone 10. For best results, apply a thin, even layer to the ceramic surface before firing. AMACO Ceramic Inks may be used alone for decorative finishes or beneath a compatible glaze. When paired with an appropriate food-safe glaze and fired correctly, finished functional ware can be food safe.
Perfect for studio potters, ceramic artists, schools, and printmakers looking to expand their creative possibilities on clay.

Bring Printmaking to Clay
