I typically use Blick glazes and have been really happy with them. I have to choose the most affordable glazes when ordering forr a school of 900+. One thing I do like about underglazes is that they are a bit thicker and less drippy for painting different colors or designs, whereas the regular glazes are better for me for larger area coverage.Hope Hunter Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815277347271501092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757920717978905919.post-57108492454715383052012-12-03T15:13:02.756-05:002012-12-03T15:13:02.756-05:00Very nice!

I always use Amaco Liquid Gloss glazes, although they are expensive.
