• Proper firing of dinnerware safe glazes is critical. Use shelf

cones on the kiln shelves to ensure that the pieces are fired hot

enough, even if the kiln is electronically controlled or has an

automatic kiln sitter. Always fire in accordance with manufac-

turer’s instructions. If crazed or under fired, these glazes may

not be food safe. Too heavy an application of glaze, fast

firing or not firing to the proper shelf cone listed on the label

may result in a glaze that does not meet the FDA standards.

Lead and/or Cadmium Containing

Glazes

Lead and cadmium are used in many ceramic glazes.

Cadmium is used to produce brilliant reds and yellows. Lead

gives a brilliance to the glaze and allows the glazes to mature

well at lower firing temperatures (shelf cone 06).

Glazes containing lead and/or cadmium should be handled

with respect. The dust from such glazes should not be inhaled.

Anyone who is pregnant or contemplating pregnancy should

only use these glazes with professional supervision. Use good

personal hygiene when working with these types of glazes and

keep them out of the reach of children.

Sprays, Solvents and Overglazes

These products are easy to use safely and will present no

problems as long as these important rules are observed:

• Containers should be kept tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Aerosol sprays, solvents and solvent-based overglazes should

be used outdoors, with a locally exhausting hood or spray

booth or a window exhaust to assure adequate ventilation.

• Do not use near an open flame or heat source.

• Clean up after use and dispose of products properly in a

metal container designed for disposal of flammable

materials. Contaminated materials can be washed or placed

under water until final disposal.

Slip

The mixture of any fine powder like slip requires the use

of a safety mask approved by OSHA. The work area should

be well ventilated with a system that draws all dust. This

area should be away from other working areas so as not to

spread the fine dust particles. Good housecleaning habits are

necessary when mixing and pouring slip. Wipe up spills

immediately. Do not sweep the area. Chronic lung damage

may result from prolonged inhalation and exposure to the

clay dust.

Labeling Information

The labels on a product are very important and give you a

wealth of knowledge. Read and understand the label for

product’s use and hazards, if any. Ceramic hobby glazes are

manufactured with a variety of raw materials that are mined

and extracted from the ground. Some of these materials can

be classified as toxic and if misused can be dangerous. The

key to safe use of all art materials starts with professional

education and training.
