Hi, would this clay be suitable for Tableware? And would cone6 glazes fit the clay body? Also is the body no porous at cone 6?
Thank you .

Respuestas de Scarva:

Yes you can use this clay for domestic tableware. Terracotta bodies are a little more tricky to get glazes to work on especially at cone 6 which is to high for most terracottas including this one. Terracotta is normally fired to earthenware temperature or max 1180oC. Hope this helps

Can you tell me if this product is frost proof and if yes how does this clay become frostproof please?
|
Respuestas de Scarva:
|
You'd need to fire this body to 1140°C to vitrify it sufficiently to become frostproof.
Hope this helps!

Hello, you state that this red clay fires to both earthenware and stoneware temperatures 1060 - 1220. Is the vitrification temp 1180 and does it remain much porosity % ?
|
Respuestas de Scarva:
|
Hi there, this clay vitrifies at 1140. There would be no porosity after that.
Hope this helps.
