Simply mix 700-800mls of water to 1000grams of powdered glaze pass through a fine mesh pottery sieve, glaze can now be altered to a thin cream consistency if required, The glaze is now ready to use. Hope this helps.

Are these powder glazes for earthenware also successful on earthstone and St Patrick clays? I use these clays for slip casting. Thanks

Hi there,
Is this glaze food safe?

This glaze is lead free if it is food safe will depend on several factors including the clay body it is applied to, the thickness and the final firing temperature. Food safety tests are carried out by reputable firms like Lucideon.

Terracolor Powder Earthenware Glazes are a more cost effective and faster approach to glazing a larger volume of pots. Simply mix the powder with water and pass through a sieve to create a dipping glaze. It is important to note that especially on speckled glazes the residue left in the sieve should be returned to the glaze as this is what creates the speckled effect.
