Hi,
Terracolor give the range to be 1200 - 1260, we would suggest firing 1190° on a computerised controller but as with every glaze testing should be done first to find the best temperature for your particular kiln.
Hope this helps!

Is this glaze food safe?

Hi, we would not recommend this glaze for dinnerware as it is a matt finish. Please see

Hi Julie,
It's a difficult question to answer because every kiln varies. Usually we recommend a 15 minute soak to even out the temperature throughout the kiln but remember as you soak you are increasing heat work in the kiln which can lead to overfiring. There's no correct answer here it's just a matter of experimentaion - Orton cones can help know what your firing is doing.
Hope this helps!

Terracolor Powder Stoneware 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. All Terracolor glazes are Lead Free.
