Can this glaze be used for the majolica technique and if so, can you recommend the most compatible glaze/underglaze to use above it, without running or bleeding. Thank you

Can this product be used for tableware? food safe?

If a glaze is food safe or 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. Ideally a food safe test would be carried out by a reputable body like Lucideon. 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 Original in an electric kiln and to the recommended firing temperatures

Hello, can I mix stains into this to give it colour and if so how much stain, thanks!

You can add stain however because it is white this will effect the colour outcome. Most stains take around 8% however you could add as little as 1% to create pastel shades.

Hi there, it might work! All depends on the clay body. We would advise testing before committing to work.

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.
