> Hi, I am a new-to-ceramics- but old art teacher who needs some
advice. Can I fire several pieces to bisque , cone 04, with several
other pieces painted with low fire underglaze on them? ( also to
cone 04) I'd appreciate any input.

I was wondering a similar question...is there any problem combining
soft bisque (cone 018 burnish/terrasig) with luster items at the
same cone? I have quite a large kiln and would like to economize
where possible. I read the answers to the above posting saying that
it is ok to mix bisque/underglaze/lowfire but I didn't know if the
luster would create any problems for the soft bisque.
Also, are lusters food safe? The labels on the ones I have (gold
and opal) do not say and the company's webpage does not mention it.
I checked the clayart archives and only found one post that
mentioned it which said they are not food safe. To validate, I sent
an email several weeks ago to the company who makes the lusters but
they did not respond. Can someone validate this for me please.
Thanks,
