his year marks our 68th anniversary in the Ceramic Arts industry, and we couldn’t be more
excited for another year full of new ideas, new ventures and new paths to creativity.
I know that our founder, my grandmother Erma Duncan – a talented artist, ceramic arts educator
and businesswoman – would be proud of the direction this company is heading in, as we continually
operate under the notion of embracing constant change, improvement and innovation; an idea that
serves as one of our core guiding principles.
And as part of our commitment to constant change, improvement and innovation, we’ve decided
to create a more focused, specialized experience to meet your individual needs by offering two
Duncan® Selection Guides instead of one; this guide is focused specifically on all Duncan® Ceramic
Arts color lines and brushes for their application, while the other features Duncan® Oh Four® Bisque
and specialized color lines with Paint Your Own Pottery Studio appeal. Make sure to look for the new
Duncan® Design Selection Guide in the fall.
I am also proud to announce that our dedication to our mission of making it easy to experience
creativity for people of all ages, skill levels and style preferences has led to another year of growth
for our Duncan® Ceramic Arts division. We plan to expand on that growth with another year of
investment in our ceramic arts business as we reach out to new markets and continue to develop a
variety of innovative color lines that meet your artistic needs – all supported by an industry-leading
global distribution network.
"I hope you share my
enthusiasm in the coming
year as we move full
speed ahead toward
new opportunities and
ceramic arts industry."
Larry Duncan
As you know, iLoveToCreate®, a Duncan Enterprises Company, is home to a variety of brands, but we
wouldn’t be who we are today without the solid foundation of our Duncan® brand and its commitment
to consistent, superior-quality ceramic arts products. I hope you share my enthusiasm in the coming
year as we move full speed ahead toward new opportunities and adventures in the ceramic arts
industry.
Most importantly, I humbly thank you for your continued support and invaluable contributions to the
Duncan® Ceramic Arts brand.

second is to make sure they have fun while learning,” she says.

The use of an overglaze can really enhance the quality of a finished piece, but
because some glazes contain small amounts of copper for color, they will not
work with overglazes. Duncan® glazes are all identified as to whether they will
or will not work with overglazes. Glazes that will work with overglazes state
OVERGLAZE COMPATIBLE. Glazes that do not work with overglazes will not
include this statement.

The brilliance of fireworks is transferred onto bisque with Duncan®
Crystals Glazes™. The easiest glaze to apply, crystal pebbles of
varying sizes are embedded into the glaze and burst in the kiln to
reveal an explosion of multicolor flecks. The result is a distinctive
and unique array of colors that even a novice artist can achieve.
Duncan® Crackles Glazes™ offer a distinctive, aged expression
of decoration. Use them alone on bisque for subtle color
through the cracks or apply over underglaze designs for a
unique antiqued expression. For extra depth and definition,
highlight the cracks created in firing by antiquing the piece
with ink or acrylic paint. Duncan® Crackles Glazes™ make it
easy to add character to any ceramic arts project!

WHAT IS RAKU?
DUNCAN® ARTISAN GLAZES™
Raku pottery originated in Japan. Raku, meaning
"pleasure" or "enjoyment", was not introduced
to the western world until the first half of the
20th century. Raku is a process of taking pots,
while they are still glowing red from the kiln, and
placing them immediately into containers filled
with combustible materials such as sawdust,
dried leaves, newspaper, etc. A reduction or
carbonization process begins once the red hot
pots ignite the combustible materials and create
smoke and soot causing a beautiful reaction
to all glazed areas. Raku techniques have been
modified by contemporary potters worldwide.
Duncan® Artisan Glazes™ replicate the cone 5-6 look with just a cone 06 fire. These colors are the
perfect choice for artists and potters who want to layer glazes on bisque created from low-fire clay bodies.
Duncan® Artisan Glazes™ can be layered with Concepts® Underglazes for Bisque to create endless
color combinations.
Specialty Product™
SY 547 Wax Resist
Many Duncan® Glazes and Underglazes can be
used in a raku atmosphere. Here is a list of just
some of the Duncan products that can yield some
very interesting and beautiful results!
