is this able to be painted on, and dinnerware safe?

This is an oxide. It is supplied in powder form. An oxide would normally be added to a glaze, slip or clay body to colour it. It may also be mixed with water and applied onto ware then sponged back this would normally be for sculptural/decorative work. This technique would not be dinnerware safe.

Do you just add water to the oxide powder to decorate greenware, or does it need frit mixed in with it too?

Just add water to create an oxide wash.

If added to a clay body, will it be food safe once fired and glazed?
If so, in which quantity yo you suggest to mix it in white clay to get a rich deep blue: 5%? 10%?

Do you know where your cobalt is sourced. Is it ethically mined? Thank you.

Hi, this cobalt is sourced in The Congo, all our materials are ethically mined and have conflict mineraly compliance. Hope this helps!

Should water diluted cobalt oxide be applied over or under clear glaze?
|
Respuestas de Scarva:
|
Hi, you can do both, but it would be easier on top as the glaze is less likely to crawl off it. Hope this helps!
