Raw Materials

Seattle Pottery Supply offers one of the most complete selections of chemicals and raw materials on the west coast for ceramics, glass, and enamel work. 

Warning: Remember that many ceramic materials are TOXIC. The safest course is to consider all materials that you are working with to be toxic. Before you use any raw material, read up on it, and remember that combining two different items that are perfectly safe may result in an extremely toxic byproduct. Use good common sense and be safe. Always use a good industrial-grade respirator and rubber gloves. Do not eat or smoke when working with chemicals! Good habits of cleanliness, including frequent changes of contaminated clothing, can keep your studio safer. 

Also note: The companies that supply us with our raw materials are the best in their fields. However, many of the materials we supply are natural products, mined from the earth, and therefore may vary by batch. We can not make any warranty concerning these materials since the control of them is out of our hands. We urge you to test each raw material to make sure it will do what you expect before committing to a large batch. MSDSs are available upon request.
