Materials
PSH cone 6 clay Black C540i
Pigmented with non-toxic iron oxide. Fires to a deep brown/black, deeper black when sealed with a transparent glaze. Not recommended for microwave heating because of its iron oxide content.
"Licorice" glossy black glaze
Glossy black glaze, made with iron oxide and cobalt carbonate. Food-safe, non-toxic. Recipe: https://glazy.org/recipes/3388
PSH Wax Resist Emulsion UWAX2
A brushable, water-wax emulsion applied to bisque pots to resist glaze. The wax burns away during firing, so none is present in the finished piece.
PSH Transparent Glaze GTR62
Non-toxic (lead free) glossy transparent finish, creates a food-safe surface for the interior of mugs and bowls, adds a gloss and brings out the hue of the clay body when used as a sealant.
