When it comes to decorating ceramics, many are familiar with terms like "underglaze" or "on-glaze" colors and often assume that different types of colors are needed for each technique. But what if there was one single color that could be used in a variety of ways??

BOTZ Unidekor is a water-based ceramic decorating color from Germany, produced by BOTZ, a company specializing in glazes and ceramic materials that has been trusted by users in Europe for a long time. This color set can be used with various techniques such as underglaze, on-glaze, painting directly on bisque before firing, as well as Majolica, Relief Decoration, Airbrush, Marbling

With these properties, BOTZ calls this color set a versatile decorating color for ceramics.

Highlights of BOTZ Unidekor

1. One color, multiple techniques. The advantage is that it reduces the number of materials to buy, saves storage space, is suitable for experimenting with new techniques, and makes it easier for beginners to learn.

2. BOTZ Unidekor supports a wide range of firing temperatures. It can be fired in the range of approximately 1000–1250°C, making it suitable for various types of work, including Earthenware, Stoneware and Porcelain. Potters with kilns that operate at various temperatures can use the same color set without having to switch to a completely new color system.

3. Colors can be mixed just like general color mixing.  Additionally, if mixed with white color code 4009 White, it helps create soft pastel shades, suitable for illustrations and minimalist ceramic work.

4. Ready to use, no complicated color preparation. Since BOTZ Unidekor is a water-based color that is ready to use immediately, the label on the jar indicates that it can be used directly from the bottle. Just add a little water to adjust the consistency. It can also be used with an airbrush, but don't forget to shake the bottle before use to ensure the pigments are well mixed.

With these advantages, using BOTZ Unidekor helps save time in material preparation, especially in classrooms or studios with multiple users. BOTZ Unidekor is therefore suitable for beginners who are just starting out, as they can learn many techniques from a single set of colors without having to invest in many types of colors from the start. It's also great for ceramic teachers and studios, as it reduces the hassle of preparing materials and allows students to experiment with a variety of techniques. It's also suitable for ceramic producers who need easy-to-use, flexible colors that can withstand different firing temperatures.

Small tips from Pottery Clay

If you are new to BOTZ Unidekor, it is recommended to always make color test tiles. Even though the colors have relatively stable properties, the final results may vary depending on the type of clay, glaze formula, color thickness, and firing program. Therefore, testing before actual use will help reduce errors and provide a better understanding of how the colors behave.
