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
After painting with underglaze, apply a clear glaze coat and fire at cone 06–04. For non-fired options (like acrylics), seal with a craft-safe spray for take-home crafts or mobile parties.
