Powdered Overglaze: Scarlet

About

• A low solubility range of powdered on-glaze colours.
• Apply to an already fired glazed piece using a suitable painting medium, either water based or spirit based.
• When dry, re-fire the piece to within the firing range.
• Recommended Firing Range 730-800^oC

The Firebird range is an intermixable low-lead series of powdered onglaze colours. Smoothness of application and vividly flamboyant colours are characteristics of this series. The usual lead content has been minimised thus enabling the colours to meet low lead-release specifications, provided that they are used conventionally and are properly fired.

See our Technical Information Sheet "Safe Handling of Powdered Ceramic Materials"

Firing guidance: Onglaze colours and lustres are normally fired in the range 730-800C. Lower firing temperatures will give matter finishes which is not recommended on the surfaces of ware in contact with foodstuffs. The kiln must be well-ventilated (vent plug out) until about 450-500C to clear away gases from burning-away of media etc. The vent plugs can then be replaced and firing continued to 730-780C at which point the kiln should be switched off and allowed to cool fully.
