What Is Bisque Pottery? A Guide for Pottery Cafés, Art Studios, and Retailers

What Is Bisque Pottery?

Bisque pottery (or “bisqueware”) is clay that’s been shaped and fired once — but left unglazed.

This makes it ideal for painting and decorating before a second glaze firing.

At Bisqueda, we supply kiln-ready bisque ceramics to help you run smooth, creative, and profitable painting sessions.

Perfect for:

  • Pottery cafés & creative studios

  • Farm shops & art retailers

  • School workshops & kids’ events

  • DIY and paint-your-own kits

Glazing & Firing Tips
