could you use this wire to hang glazed beads on (stretched taught between stilts) or would it break/discolour beads?

This one will most likely break you could use 16swg wire or thicker but a bead firing rack may work better, hope this helps.

Hi. Could you let me know if this wire discolours after being fired. I'm looking to use in some glss art fired around 800c. Thanks

Usually this wire turns a matt black colour when fired.

Could you tell me what temp it fires to, and what is the best wire to use Porcelain with/and White Buff clay (for figurative work)?

The high temperature wire may be fired up to 1260°C. I would recommend using 16swg as it is strong but still easy to shape.

High temperature armature wire may be incorporated into the actual structure to support your sculpture at the making stage. This wire is suitable for firing.
