Guilty as found
There are a number of reasons why I should be banned from a our local guild sale and I just added another one. I use a cadmium red stain to get my pink shino and cadmium is a big no-no at the guild sale. I maintain we eat a whole lot worse things than are found in glaze materials. I'd take a key lime pie on a lead glazed plate long before a Big Mac from McPukes. I'm totally pumped with the pink shino and asked Cassara to throw a few test tiles for me. I said fairly large but she went so far as to throw us a new bag wall for the wood kiln. I'll need to make a 10,000 gram batch to test my new glazes on those test tiles. I got an orange cadmium stain I'm going to mix with yeller and red to get a nice peach shino. Many shinos are orange but I want a tin pink peach that is almost like the inside of a shell.

Most cadmium stains are encapsulated and food safe, aren't they?
I love the colourful shinos!!! Teresa
