Amaco V-303 Terra Cotta
Terra Cotta from Amaco's Velvet Underglaze series adds a warm, earthy terracotta tone to ceramic pieces. Fired unglazed, the underglaze impresses with its signature buttery, velvety-matte surface, while it gains significant depth and intensity when combined with a clear gloss or matte glaze.
The underglazes in the Velvet series are known for their outstanding color stability and versatility. Because they do not flow during firing, they are perfect for precise lines, detailing, sgraffito, and printing techniques. As an iron oxide-based earth tone, Terra Cotta remains stable over a wide firing range and appears warmer and deeper rather than fading at higher temperatures.
The Velvet Underglaze series is also excellent for painting ceramic bisque, for example in painting classes or workshops.

Our delivery guarantee
Our delivery guarantee
You should be able to focus on your project while making pottery, not on whether your desired glaze is currently in stock. That is exactly what we are here for.
With over 300 colors in our range, it can happen that a shade is occasionally out of stock. The Formwerk difference: you don't have to search in multiple shops, wait for a service response, or accept any extra costs. If a glaze is sold out with us, we take action manually for you and search for your shade in our European dealer network of 12 partners. We cover the additional shipping costs.
That is our guarantee: every glaze in our range remains permanently orderable. So that you can plan ahead and have a reliable source for your glazes.
