Also, if you are dipping these when not yet bisque fired, when they are done bisque firing do u glaze them with a clear glaze?
Or do you just fire them twice like that?

Do you dip those when they are leather dry? Or bisque fired?

@jdiller1947 well, it's only toxic if it makes it into your body. It will get under your fingernails, then if you don't wash under your nails, when you eat, it gets into your blood stream. The skin is designed to be impermeable from outside contaminates. It's all pretty much toxic because of concentration and fine particle size (breathing it ... ) Eat a few grams of any oxide, it will mess your up. My prof had same encounter with zinc, and became hyper sensitive-- he can taste it in the air....

Nive video! I use a toilet bowl brush to stir the glazes and slips, preferably a NEW one!!! I like the designs a lot.
