Firing and Working Notes

Firing Range:

Use our Vitraclay Raku Clay or Sibelco White Hand Building Clay and bisque to 1000°C or 1100°C (Cone 06 to Cone 03).

Samples shown on our Vitraclay Raku fired bisque at 1000°C in an oxidising (electric) kiln. When the glaze was applied it was then reheated in an oxidising (electric) kiln to 950°C then transferred to a reduction environment.

Recommended for any Raku clay bodies.

  • Experiment with different combustible organic materials.

This glaze is unlikely to be safe for dinner/tableware. To be certain, you will need to submit your wares for testing at a reputable laboratory. In the UK, the emphasis in law is to the ‘maker’ who takes responsibility for the food/dinner safety of a glazed or unglazed ceramic ware.

Health & Safety

Lead Free.

Refer to each SDS below for the individual hazards of each glaze.

General Advice:

When handled sensibly, a 'brush-on' glaze presents no serious health issues, but to be safe, do not ingest the liquid and avoid contact with your skin and eyes.

A powder or dried brush-on glaze presents a hazard. It may contain crystalline silica and other materials, which, when inhaled, can cause long-term damage to the lungs or other health problems. We suggest when working with powders or when cleaning, wear an FFP3/P3 mask and filter and use a wet sponge.
