Thanks for your environmentally conscious efforts🎉

Great name. Super clear in practical manner. But i don't think that there is such a thing as a "clay molecule" that is the clay. Because its a mixture of chemically different particles. The way i believe it to be is that the alumina remains firm and keeps the pottery shape while the silica melts and "glues" the alumina latice together. The feldspar aluminasilicate is the flux. This improves adhesion between alumina and the melting silica. Are my believes correct? Yours.

Beautiful clarification, thank you!

This is so useful! I'm a very new potter and have some white stoneware clay which I've made some mugs/bowls out of, yet to be bisque fired... As part of a bundle with my wheel and electric kiln I was given a selection of Mayco Stroke & Coat glazes which state they should be fired at cone 06. I gather this is much lower than a stoneware glaze firing should be - can I use these glazes on my stoneware clay and what temperature/kiln schedule should I use if so? I'm keen for it all to definitely be food safe and the colours to come out nice and strong! If I can't use them I'll set the glazes aside for the future when I want to experiment with a lower-fire clay, and use an appropriate stoneware glaze instead, but would love to use the colours if possible.

I believe you can use them at higher temperatures but I think they become more glossy
