Creation steps:

Shape your pieces
Decorate your raw pieces with the included paints (engobes)
Let dry for 10 days
Bring all of your creations to the Céramicafé Geneviève of your choice: we will carry out an initial firing, then the enamelling (varnish), and finally a second firing at 1000 degrees. (It is not possible to return your pieces by parcel: you must drop them off in person).
Collect your ceramics at the Geneviève ceramic cafe; they are ready to be used every day!

The finished parts are suitable for food use.

Please note that this kit is not eligible for the "zero travel" option: the parts before firing are too fragile to be sent by parcel. 📦

Additional information: difference between the clay box (earthenware) and the self-hardening clay box

Cooking

Self-hardening clay does not require firing at 1000 degrees. It air dries in 24 to 48 hours.

Clay (earthenware) requires firing in a potter's kiln, up to 1000 degrees, to solidify the pieces.

The decoration

Classic clay (earthenware) is decorated with specific paint for ceramics (engobe or enamel), then must be varnished (transparent enamel), and put back in the oven at 1000 degrees to finalize the decoration.

Self-hardening clay can be decorated with acrylic paint and protected with a transparent varnish, and does not require any cooking.

Use of parts

The pieces made of self-hardening clay are compatible with food use. They can be washed gently by hand, and are resistant to temperature, humidity and detergents. However, we do not recommend putting them in the microwave, oven or dishwasher.

Those made of earthenware, once enamelled and fired at 1000 degrees, can be used daily, dishwasher safe!
