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".
Who made the frit light bulb?
Typo: Who made the (First) light bulb? The first light bulb ever created was by Humphry Davy (Englishman) in 1809. Thomas Alva Edison made the bulb better in 1875. Most of us have heard of Thomas, but not many have heard that Humphry was the original creator, but if it weren't for him, we would not have had much good technology.
What does slip do to clay?
Slip is clay that has more water added so it is liquid or a wet paste. It has many uses in pottery. Sometimes it has frit in it. Sometimes a deflocculant is used too. Sometimes it is called engobe (mainly in British books). Most Americans use the terms as the same. Some older books call slip with colorant for decoration "engobe" and slip for casting "slip"Small amounts can be used to join parts together, such as handles, spouts, knobs, sprigged on designs etc.It can be thinned to paint consistency and used to decorate pottery pieces when they are , wet, leather hard or bone dry (depending on the type of slip). It can be colored with mineral pigments like cobalt or iron or used as is.When decorating with it it can be used like paint, thin like water color, thick like oil paint and more. It can be finger painted or brushed in many ways. It can be dipped, splashed as well.It can be painted on and scratched through to make a design (sgraffito).Or it can be used to fill in marks that have been carved into the surface (inlaying)It can also be used to cast object by pouring it into molds to make anything from cups to busts to toilets to sewer pipe.
Who invented paint?
Answer Color has fascinated culture throughout history, every age and every region has produced dyes and pigment depending on the available resources. Color has been with us for more than 20,000 years. Evidence survives in early cave paintings and the ancient Chinese are considered to have brought its manufacture and use to a state of perfection tens of thousands of years ago. Color was widely used by the ancient Egyptians and was considered to have magical and healing properties and around this time, 1500 BC, paint making as an art became quite widely established in Crete and Greece with the Egyptians passing their skills to the Romans. It was between 600 BC-AD 400 that the Greeks and Romans then introduced varnishes. For the Aztec Indians red dye was considered more valuable than gold and both the Indians and Chinese practiced Color Healing. A 2000 year old, Chinese chronicle, The Nei/ching, records color diagnoses. One of the earliest recorded color discoveries was made by Plato who discovered that by mixing two colors, a third is produced, therefore changing the, 'manufacture', of color forever. Prior to that the earliest cave paintings were made by using iron oxides. It was the ancient Egyptians who developed other paints from pigments in the soil (yellow, orange, and red). It was the Romans who gave us purple, a pound of royal purple dye, required the crushing of four million mollusks. Cochineal red, discovered by the Aztecs, was made using the female cochineal beetle. A pound of water-soluble extract required about a million insects and it was the Spaniards who introduced the crimson color to Europe in the 1500's. Later genuine Indian Yellow was produced from concentrated cows urine which was mixed with mud and transported to London for purifying, Sap Green from the Blackthorn berry and Sepia Brown from the dried ink sac of squid. Paint is made up of a pigment, a binder to hold it together and appropriate thinners to make it easy to apply. 5000 years ago Blue Frit was the first synthetic pigment being produced by the Egyptians from ground down blue glass. Before the nineteenth century the word 'paint' was only applied to oil-bound types; those bound with glue were called 'distemper'. By 1000 B.C. development of paints and varnishes based on the gum of the acacia tree (better known today as gum arabic) had been developed. At this time umbers, ocher's and blacks were readily obtainable, new colors were also discovered - the first was 'Egyptian Blue'; 'Naples Yellow' dates from around 500 BC and 'red lead' was discovered by accident in about 2500. White lead occurred naturally but demand encouraged production of man made versions. Vitruvius describes production of white lead in the 2nd century AD. Before the 16th century, pigment color was largely dependent on dye stuffs which could be grown in, or were indigenous to Europe and similar temperate regions. Between 1550 and 1850 only the so-called natural dye stuffs were available but the range was greatly extended with tropical dye stuffs from Central America and India and elsewhere. In the 17th century the Dutch greatly increased availability of white lead and lowered cost by invention of the Stack Process. All white lead paints included chalk in their undercoats, reserving purer white lead for finish coats. In1856 the first real synthetic dye, 'Mauveine', was discovered by Henry Perkins. It was then realized that a great many dyes could be made synthetically and cheaply. It was then that Linseed Oil began being mass produced. They also had pigment grade zinc oxide - we call it white paint. Using cast-iron paint mills and zinc-based pigments, industrialists produced the first washable paint marketed as 'Charlton White' in the 1870's ( the first ready mixed paint was patented by one D.R. Averill of Ohio in 1867, but it never caught on). The Sherwin-Williams company spent ten years trying to perfect the formula where fine paint particles would stay suspended in Linseed oil. In 1880 they succeeded in developing a formula that far exceeded the quality of all paints available at the time. It was then that emulsions based on similar formula, were produced and marketed as 'oil bound distempers'. By 1880 the new paints were readily available in tins, in a wide range of colors, and came to be exported all over the World.

Is glass powder the same as sand?
Glass Powder is glass that has been ground down into powder. Glass starts it's life as sand, is mixed with a fixed alkali such as Soda, Pearlash, or Borax, and a metallic oxide is often added. It is then ground down into a fine sand-mix powder, and melted into a viscous, or semi liquid state known as frit. Frit is pounded, pressed, or blown into the final glass product. For glass powder, the waste product such as left over frit, or glass products that have been broken and are no longer useful, the glass is ground down into powder, and made into beads. Glass powder is much finer than sand, and has the properties of the Borax and oxides that were mixed into the original glass product.
