Enterprises
Scott first began working with clay as a child.
Through a series of coincidences, doors
continued to open, furthering his
exploration of clay both as an art form
and career path. Scott’s unique and finely crafted work has been featured
in several Florida museums. Most recently, his pieces
were purchased by the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland
Florida. His works are also owned by private collectors
around the world. Scott earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts
Degree at the Ringling School of Art & Design. He currently
works as a full-time studio artist in Sarasota Florida with his
wife Jodi and son Chase.
welcomes you to its latest splash of
color! As we continue to strive to provide
our ceramic artists the best in innovative new products, I’m pleased to announce
that this latest Color Guide includes over 50 new colors displayed on inspirational
pieces from artists around the world. You can refer to the inside back cover of
this guide to learn more about many of our contributing artists.
Duncan ceramic products and educational programs are the most used and
trusted since our original founder, my grandmother Erma Duncan, discovered the
ceramic arts in 1946. She would be pleased with the continued efforts we make
to provide you, the artist and craftsperson, with the best color palettes available.
Making color selection easy begins with having a full range of color available
and ends with having the color placed in a fashion that facilitates easy choices.
You will notice we have reorganized many of our popular color lines to make it
easier for you to select color.

Each of our color palettes was evaluated for its ability to meet basic and
advanced color needs. What you will find with the Duncan balanced palettes are
complete color lines, with little or no duplication. We kept the most popular
colors, added basic colors where needed and spiced up the lines with colors that
you’ve been asking for. Look for our exciting new additions to the E-Z Stroke,
Cover-Coat, Envision, Ultra Metallic, Opaque Acrylics, Translucent Stains and
Antiquing Gel lines.
Duncan University continues to grow, thanks to over 200 International
Duncan University Ambassadors teaching thousands of students who continue to
enroll in courses every day! We have over 50 Duncan University courses to choose
from. Courses designed by talented artists around the world are added every
season! Visit our website at www.duncanceramics.com and contact your nearest
Duncan University Ambassador to learn more about the art of ceramics.
We at Duncan are committed to making it easy for our customers to

commitment continues as we explore new avenues of creativity to share with you.
We hope you enjoy this Color Guide and find it useful as a tool for your
artistic accomplishments!

Jennifer Heynen
Pam has worked in the
art industry for over 30
years, creating as well as
teaching all levels, from
elementary through
university. She has
earned numerous art
awards. Inspired by the
classics and energized by
contemporary art, Pam
continues to break new
ground as she heads up
the design and
instruction for Duncan U.
Susan's large scenic
vessels highlight her
talent for surface design,
as well as her intrigue
with various forms in
clay. Using traditional
materials in a
nontraditional manner,
each piece is created with
terra-cotta clay, lustrous
glazes and overglazes.
Her work is currently on
display at the Deland
Museum of Art in Deland,
Florida.
Internationally known
ceramics artist Stan
Bitters is the creative
mind behind the huge
ceramic sculptures that
decorate the exterior of
Duncan Enterprises. Stan
is one of the few great
artists who has
undertaken the exciting
task of integrating art in
architecture. He
continues his work in
creating ceramic and
bronze sculptures.
An internationally
renowned artist and
sculptor, Steve is best
known for his beautifully
detailed, expressive
bronze sculptures. He is
a recent recipient of the
Horizon Award for
significant contributions
to the arts. Through his
innovative techniques
and unique style, Steve
has helped make Duncan
a leader in design.
In her work at Duncan,
Maria helps to create the
pieces that set the trends
in the ceramics industry.
Accomplished in the
ceramics process, from
pouring and cleaning, to
decorating and firing, her
talents are used to
prepare Ambassador
training sessions, as well
as produce pieces for
seminars, trade shows,
flyers and more.
Relatively new to the
designer circuit, Jennifer
has captured a lot of
attention–and significant
shares of the home and
giftware markets–with her
handmade mosaic tiles.
Her contemporary style
and unique talent
combined with the
brilliance of Concepts™
colors are the basis for a
successful business and
bright career.

Randy Olsen
Kim Ramirez
Eddie Silva
A ceramics artist and
Duncan Ambassador for
over 20 years, Larry has
served as traveling
teacher, contributing
author to major ceramic
trade magazines and
freelance teacher,
specializing in porcelain.
He is CAI certified in
addition to having several
manufacturers’
certifications.
Jennifer has worked with
a variety of mediums,
including pen and pencil,
papier-mâché, acrylic
paints, screenprinting
and airbrushing. Her
career in ceramics started
with the unconventional
process of airbrushing
and screenprinting onto
manufactured tiles. This
led to working with clay
and experimenting with
building objects.
Tony has been sculpting
life-size ceramic figures
for 18 years. As a
professional artist and
student, he has been able
to meet and show with
most of the artists that
pioneered the Northern
California ceramics
movement of the 1960’s
and 70’s. His works have
been in museum and
gallery exhibitions all
over the world.
Kim, who fills the critical
role of marketing support
for the Duncan Ceramics
team, says she is
becoming obsessed with
the art form. As someone
who never considered
herself artistic, she finds
she is developing a talent
and love for ceramics as
she creates more pieces.
She recently became a
Certified Duncan Teacher.
An intern for the Duncan
Ceramic Art Department,
Eddie has proven himself
a valuable member of the
team, helping to create
samples for future school
art shows. He has also
received training to
become a Certified
Duncan Teacher. Currently
a student at University of
California, Davis, he is
earning a Fine Arts
Degree.

ceramics working with his
mother as a child at the
Potters Studio in Fresno,
California. Working in clay
for over 25 years, Randy
is now developing new
products for the studio,
as well as developing
new processes. The
Potters Studio line has
become a mark of quality
among gallery, giftware
and home and garden
buyers.

Health and Safety
Duncan Enterprises shares your concerns about health and safety,
which is why we have pursued the development of dinnerware-safe
and nontoxic glazes for more than 50 years and why we are
committed to maintaining the highest level of safety standards.
This all-inclusive color guide includes current information on every product in the Duncan fired,
acrylic and accessory product lines. As you select products from this guide, please note that all
nontoxic fired products have been placed in the front of the guide. Fired products that contain
cautionary warnings and that are recommended for use by professionals only are placed in the
center of the guide.
To further assist you in selecting the right products for your needs, each product listed is
accompanied by either the Nontoxic seal or Caution seal (shown at right). Please take the proper
precautions when using products with the Caution seal.
The Duncan ASTM D-4236 CAUTION seal found on corresponding
Duncan product labels is similar to ACMI CL standards. Products with
this seal are certified to be properly labeled with information on safe and
proper handling and use. These products have also undergone a
toxicological evaluation by a medical expert, and labels disclose any
known health risks associated with improper handling of the products.
The Duncan ASTM D-4236 NONTOXIC seal is similar to ACMI AP
standards. This seal is your assurance that Duncan nontoxic products
contain no materials in sufficient quantity to be toxic or injurious to
humans, or to cause acute or chronic health problems.
Due to changing FDA and Consumer Product Safety Commission
regulations, ALWAYS refer to the product label for safety information.
Where to Purchase Duncan Products

NONTOXIC FIRED PRODUCTS
UNDERGLAZES Designed for use beneath a glaze. Underglaze
colors may be translucent or opaque. Their opacity
determines the kind of looks you can create from deep solids
to intriguing brushstroke designs and shading.
E-Z Stroke Translucent Underglazes have
become popular for their versatility. The intense
pigment in E-Z Strokes colors allows you to
achieve high definition and decoration in any
DM-2330
project. And their translucent quality makes them
suitable for use with a number of decorating techniques,
including airbrushing, antiquing and brushwork. Similar to watercolor, a single layer of
color is all you need for most design work. Additional layers may be added for shading
and depth.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
TIPS & TECHNIQUES
1. Apply 1 coat for translucent
designs.
• E-Z Strokes may be applied over most underglazes, including
Cover-Coat® and other E-Z Strokes colors. Their transparency
allows base color to show through.
2. For rich shading and depth,
apply additional coats.
3. Apply to greenware, unfired
glaze, soft-fired bisque or cone
04 bisque.
4. Fire to shelf cone 04 bisque.
5. Apply Clear Glaze, stilt and
fire to shelf cone 06.
• E-Z Strokes work well with low- and high-fire, up to a cone 5-6 and
some to cone 10.
• As high-fire results vary, we recommend firing a test piece.
• For majolica, apply E-Z Strokes design work over unfired White
Satin Glaze.
• Pure and pigment-based E-Z Strokes can be used just like
watercolors, alone or intermixed in layers of translucent, bold, pure
color.
• E-Z Strokes are fragile when unfired. When the water dries out of
the pigment, there are no binders holding it in place until it is fired.
• Use E-Z Strokes to tint clay slip, most glazes, fired snow and other
E-Z Strokes colors.
Available in a
1-oz. squeeze
bottle. Assorted
colors available
in pint and gallon.
• High definition and detail can be achieved by adding water to E-Z
Strokes color and using a very fine brush.
Note: E-Z Strokes are food safe when properly covered with a
Duncan lead-free clear glaze.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS DIPPING GLAZES
TIPS & TECHNIQUES
Make sure ware is clean and free of any dust or clay particles. Dust
bisque thoroughly with a duster brush and damp-sponge to remove any
dust.
• Use clean hands or dipping tongs (available at ceramics
supply shops) to hold the ware.
1. Pour glaze into a container and mix with a new toilet bowl brush. We
recommend that you avoid using high-speed electric mixers.
• Dip with 1 single smooth motion, in and out of the glaze,
using wrist action to turn the ware in the glaze.
3. Dip remainder of ware, overlapping the already dipped area slightly.
• Keep ware from touching the sides or bottom of dipping
container, as the glaze coating may be wiped away from
contact areas.
4. Touch up ware with a glaze brush as needed. Stilt and fire to shelf
cone 06.
• As you remove the ware from dipping container, shake any
drips from the ware.
2. Dip 1/2 to 3/4 of the piece of ware into the glaze and quickly lift out.
• Before placing the dipped ware on a rack or cart,
finger-smooth any drips or runs.

A water-based emulsion formulated to protect design areas or
colors, making application of background or adjoining colors
faster and easier. The Mask ’n Peel formula is also available in
an easy-to-use applicator bottle (SY 555 Write & Peel).
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
TIPS & TECHNIQUES
1. Dampen sponge or
brush with Brush
Cleaner; (see page 34)
squeeze out excess
moisture.
• Underglaze designs: Apply a base coat of
opaque underglaze color to greenware. Paint
design with Mask 'n Peel over the base coat.
When design is dry, apply a contrasting color
over the ware. Remove the mask while the color
is still slightly damp.
2. Apply 1 good coat to
desired areas. Allow to
dry thoroughly before
applying color. While the
color is still slightly
damp, lift the corner of
the masked areas with a
tool or your fingernail,
and use your fingertips
to gently roll the mask
toward the area.
• Glaze design: Paint a design with Mask 'n Peel
directly on bisque or over 3 coats of dry, unfired
glaze applied to shelf cone 04 bisque. When
mask is dry, apply 1 coat of a second glaze
color, then remove mask while glaze is still
slightly damp.
• SY 555 Write & Peel is great for creating lines
and dots.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
TIPS & TECHNIQUES
1. Make sure that the surface of your piece is free of dust, skin oils and lotions to
ensure proper adhesion. Wipe surfaces with rubbing alcohol prior to applying the
overglaze (except when used over Crackle Glazes).
• The appearance of the gold will vary
with the type of glaze over which it is
applied.
2. Apply with a brush that is designated solely for use with the particular overglaze
used.
• When applied over a gloss glaze, the
gold will be shiny. When applied over a
matte glaze, the gold will be dull.
3. Place a small amount of overglaze on a glazed palette. Apply 1 smooth coat.
Do not let gold pool in an area; brush it out smoothly.
4. Correct application should produce a red, green or caramel rich color when
unfired, depending on overglaze used.
5. Stilt and fire gold overglaze to shelf cone 019-018.
6. Clean brush in Essence and let dry.
7. Overglazed ware can be fired while it is still wet. The kiln must be clean, well
ventilated (do not overload) and follow a normal firing schedule. Do not touch wet
decoration and handle as little as possible until ware is fired to avoid smudging.
• If gold is accidentally applied on the
wrong area, dip a cotton swab in
Essence and wipe off misplaced color.
• If any areas are missed, go back and
touch up before gold overglaze dries.
• If using a metallic overglaze and
Mother-of-Pearl on the same piece,
apply and fire the metallic overglaze
first.
Luster—Mother-of-Pearl
A translucent overglaze with a lustrous iridescence.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
TIPS & TECHNIQUES
Before beginning, follow steps 1 and 2
under Basic Instructions for Precious
Metals.
• The appearance of Mother-ofPearl will vary with the type of
glaze over which it is applied.

Mother-of-Pearl
Mother-of-Pearl will add a shiny
luster. When applied over a matte
glaze, Mother-of-Pearl will add a dull luster.

a glazed palette.
Available
in a .5-oz.
bottle
2. For a swirled look, swirl on 1 coat,
overlapping strokes. For a smooth look,
brush on all strokes in the same direction.
Correct application should produce a light
blue tint. Clean brush in Essence and let
dry.
3. Follow step 7 under Basic Instructions
for Precious Metals. Stilt and fire Motherof-Pearl to shelf cone 020.
Available
in a .5-oz.
bottle
• If Mother-of-Pearl is accidentally applied on the wrong
area, dip a cotton swab in Essence and wipe off
misplaced color.
• If any areas are missed, go back and touch up before
Mother-of-Pearl dries.
• If using a metallic overglaze and Mother-of-Pearl on
the same piece, apply and fire the metallic overglaze
first.
Overglaze Accessory—Essence
Used to clean brushes and tools used with overglazes. Any other cleaning agent
may contain water or solvents that will cause separation of the overglaze during
subsequent applications.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
TIPS & TECHNIQUES
1. Swish overglaze
brush in solvent until
bristles are free of
product. Wipe on paper
towel.
• Use a separate bottle of Essence for each overglaze product.
• Mark the bottles according to which overglaze product was
used. Contamination can result if brushes and/or Essence used
with one product come in contact with brushes and/or Essence
used with another.

These nontoxic, nonfired self-sealing snows produce realistic snow and textured effects
over finished pieces decorated with nonfired products and on already fired glaze surfaces.
Nonfired Snow has a smooth, marshmallow-cream consistency. Glittering Nonfired Snow

wreaths and more.
DM-1120
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
TIPS & TECHNIQUES
1. Mix well.
• Cake decorator technique: Use palette knife to fill pastry tube with No-Fire
Snow or Glittering No-Fire Snow. Select tips with large design openings, as
snow products may clog smaller openings. Use slow, steady pressure to
squeeze design onto surface to be decorated. Clean design tips thoroughly
and dispose of the pastry tube. As an alternative to a pastry tube, you can
also use a plastic sandwich bag.
2. Apply with brush, palette knife,
sponge or pastry tube. Rinse
brush or tool frequently to avoid
product buildup.
3. Allow to dry between coats and
24-48 hours after final application.
Available in
a 4-oz. jar
• Brush design techniques: Load a round synthetic bristle brush heavily
with No-Fire Snow or Glittering No-Fire Snow, allowing a small amount of
the product to remain on the tip of the brush bristles. To create raised
flower petals and leaves, place tip of brush at end of flower petal or base of
leaf. Press down on the brush, slightly rolling the bristles as stroke is pulled
out. Allow to dry for 24-48 hours, then paint design with acrylic colors.
• Palette knife technique: Nonfired Snows can be applied with a palette
knife to create landscapes and designs. Experiment with pressing, pulling
and twisting motions with the palette knife for a variety of raised effects.
Allow to dry for 24-48 hours, then paint design with acrylic colors.

• Achieve large, bold cracks by applying a heavier
topcoat color.
• Achieve fine cracks by applying a thin topcoat color.
• Achieve a fine, web cracking by sponging on topcoat
color.
• Flat Opaque brushes give the best results when
applying Quik-Crackle.
• When cracking has completed and the topcoat
is completely dry, seal with spray sealer and
add brushstrokes or design work.

our ceramic artists the best in innovative new products, I’m pleased to announce
that this latest Color Guide includes over 50 new colors displayed on inspirational
pieces from artists around the world. You can refer to the inside back cover of
this guide to learn more about many of our contributing artists.
Duncan ceramic products and educational programs are the most used and
trusted since our original founder, my grandmother Erma Duncan, discovered the
ceramic arts in 1946. She would be pleased with the continued efforts we make
to provide you, the artist and craftsperson, with the best color palettes available.
Making color selection easy begins with having a full range of color available
and ends with having the color placed in a fashion that facilitates easy choices.
You will notice we have reorganized many of our popular color lines to make it
easier for you to select color.
SCOTT CAUSEY

Each of our color palettes was evaluated for its ability to meet basic and
advanced color needs. What you will find with the Duncan balanced palettes are
complete color lines, with little or no duplication. We kept the most popular
colors, added basic colors where needed and spiced up the lines with colors that
you’ve been asking for. Look for our exciting new additions to the E-Z Stroke,
Cover-Coat, Envision, Ultra Metallic, Opaque Acrylics, Translucent Stains and
