For ceramics, there's the fritted glaze, low, mid, and hi fire glaze, and the Underglaze or Overglaze. For dessert, there's ganache, frosting/icing, and fruit glaze.
What temperatures does kilns for ceramics operate at?
Ceramic kilns fire to many different temperatures for the various types of clay and glazes. We use pyrometric cones to determine the correct firing of items. Clays and glazes are usually designated as Low fire or High fire. Low fire cones start at 022 or approximately 1094 F and most low fire ceramics are fired at cone 06 approximately 1911 degrees F. High fire pottery is generally fired from cone 5 or 2205 F to cone 10 which is approximately 2381 degrees F. Industrial ceramics may use much higher temperatures than a hobbyist kiln.
What causes of crawling in ceramics?
Crawling occurs for a number of reasons, but basically the glaze or slip used shrinks at a faster rate than the clay body when fired. In my studio it occurs most commonly when glazes containing a partial amount of clay is applied too thick or when slip is applied on top of a glaze. There are some glazes however that are formulated to crawl giving a look similar to dried and cracked mud.
Is glaze toxic?
Most glazes contain toxic materials before they are fired. That is why it is best to use a mask when spraying and to not eat around liquid glazes. Once the glazes are fired however, they are no longer dangerous with the exception of glazes that contain lead frit. These are usually labelled "not for use with food".

How does a kiln work to fire ceramics and pottery?
A kiln is a special oven used to heat ceramics and pottery at high temperatures. The kiln gradually increases the temperature to remove any moisture and then reaches a peak temperature to harden the clay and glazes. This process, called firing, transforms the raw materials into a durable finished product.
How can you apply resin with a brush effectively?

What was uranium used for before the atom bomb?
Before the atom bomb, uranium was primarily used in the dye industry for producing yellow and green colors in glass and ceramics. It was also used in the production of photographic chemicals and as a pigment in paints and pottery glazes.
What has the author John Britt written?
