FAQs
-
Can we fire terracotta? keyboard_arrow_right
Yes, in bisque. No, in glaze.
Terracotta has a lower firing range than 1200 degrees Celsius and will melt at this temperature.
-
Can we fire to stoneware? keyboard_arrow_right
No, the kiln does not support that temperature requirement.
-
Will the pieces be food safe? keyboard_arrow_right
Yes, pieces glazed and fired at 1200 degrees Celsius will be food, dishwasher and microwave safe.
