i ordered the sp505 shasta white throwing clay and i’m a beginner trying to start a business. i was wondering if it’s food safe if so, what temperature would i need to fire it at? and do i need to find a specific food safe glaze that matches the shrinkage. i haven’t done this before so im lost haha. thank you!
Much of what you're looking for can be found on our website, the link I'll put below. Shasta white is a lowfire clay and unless completely glazed using food safe glazes, is not food safe. We would recommend switching to midrange clay which is food safe when fully fired and glazed where food and mouths will touch. https://seattlepotterysupply.com/collections/stoneware/products/sp505-shasta-white-throwing?_pos=1&_sid=b59f8b313&_ss=r&variant=34232254234763 -
