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.
• 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.
