Prang

Prang is a type of colorful, durable paint commonly used for ceramics, glass, and metal objects. Developed by the Thai-American artist and educator Louis Prang in the late 19th century, this glazing technique involves applying vibrant, stain-based colors that are then fired in a kiln, creating a glossy, long-lasting finish. Prang glazes are valued for their bright hues and ability to withstand handling and cleaning, making them popular in decorative arts and educational settings. Essentially, Prang provides a way to add vivid, permanent color to various surfaces through a specialized firing process.
