Bring brilliant color and endless creative possibilities to your pottery with AMACO Teacher's Palette® (TP) and Teacher's Palette Light® (TPL) Glazes. These low-fire liquid glazes are designed for artists, educators, and students who want reliable performance, vibrant color, and exceptional mixability.
Teacher's Palette features rich, opaque gloss colors that can be intermixed to create an unlimited custom palette and layered for painterly, majolica-inspired decoration without excessive bleeding. Teacher's Palette Light offers bright, translucent colors that highlight textures and underglaze work while remaining fully intermixable with other TPL colors.
Both glaze lines are AP Certified, lead-free, and food-safe when used according to the manufacturer's directions, making them an excellent choice for classrooms, studios, and functional ceramics.
