Application and Graphite Texture Notes

• Texture character: After firing, it creates a smooth, satin-matte graphite surface with visual depth. Subtle metallic reflections may appear depending on the angle of the light.
• Brush application: Applying 3 coats is recommended for a rich, uniform smoky grey tone. Allow the surface to dry completely between coats and apply each coat in a different direction.
• Clay body selection: The graphite tone appears clearer and more balanced on white high-fire clay bodies. Grogged or textured clay bodies may produce rawer, more rustic surfaces.
• Number of coats: With thin applications or 1-2 coats, the underlying clay color may become more visible, creating hazier, semi-opaque transitions.
• Dipping and pouring: Depending on the required application consistency, 5-10% water may be added. Add water gradually and in a controlled manner.
