Firing and Working Notes

Firing Range:

1222°C to 1260°C (Cone 6 to Cone 9@60°C/hr).

The sample shows two applications on Vitraclay White Throwing Clay, fired to 1240°C.

The faux Ash Glaze sample is Plum Craquelle applied over Reactive White on Vitraclay White Throwing, fired to 1240°C.

Suitable for Stoneware clay.

Working Notes:

Be generous in application; however, this will mean there will be runs and dribbles, so protect your shelves with sacrificial dishes, batt wash and stilts. We would also suggest thicker applications at the top of the pot to allow unevenness of the glaze to run downward, showing surprising breaks of different colours. Due to the craquelle effect, we suggest not using them as food-bearing surfaces. Please read our food safety advice.

For advice and tips on application with a brush-on, please refer to the article in our knowledge base. "Application with a Brush".

For powdered glazes, please read the article "More About a Dipping Glaze".

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.

For further reading, please read our knowledge base article "Food Safety in Ceramics".

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.
