  1. Thanks again for the feedback. My intention is to make stoneware mugs, bowls and plates that are food-safe, but I want to fire at cone 6.  So, I’ll start looking for a clay body that can fire at cone 6, but has a low absorption rating. Also, on a different topic from a year ago, I read that someone recommended applying a food-safe epoxy to the unglazed parts of the foot after firing to seal the piece. Is that possible?

  2. If I cover the piece in 3 or 4 coats of clear glaze, won’t the piece (lets say a small bowl) be functional for light usage?  Also, do you know of a white clay that can fire at cone 6 and be mature enough for use as dinnerware? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge….I’m trying to soak up as much info as I can about ceramics, but I find so much contradictory material on the web. 

  3. Thank you for responding…sometimes difficult to get specific questions answered on-line. I was planning to fire at cone 6…. don’t have a personal kiln yet, but when I do, it will be electric, so I’ll be firing at cone 6. Will I have any potential problems with Amaco 38 colored with a Mason stain at 6? Also, I have no experience with stains. Thanks again for your reply.
