Mix approximately 700mls of water to 1000grams of powdered glaze, then pass through a fine mesh sieve, adjust with more water if necessary to a thin cream consistency, hope this helps.

Hi,
Can you please advise if this glaze is considered food safe if fired to the recommended temperature?
Many thanks

If a glaze is food safe our not depends on several factors including the type of clay used, the firing temperature, the shape of the vessel, the thickness of glaze even the position of the vessel in the kiln can have an effect on the glaze. Ideally a food safe test would be carried out by a reputable body like British Ceram. In the case of the glaze mentioned it would most likely pass a food safe test providing it was fired on a suitable body like our ES5 Earthstone Original in an electric kiln and to the suggested firing temperature.

Can this glaze be applied to greenware?

We would not recommend applying any glaze to greenware for single firing for the best results it is important to bisque fire the vessel first.
