I like that idea too. IN general this is my first post and this is my favorite topic too. I like children when the play with clay using their creativity. It is important that the pots should be food safety as this add more attraction in an interior of the house and also using as crockery. I will test your idea and will like to ask more about such ideas.

For yucks I looked at the Amaco Teacher's Choice and Teacher's Pallate glaze series MDSDs. Pretty minimal documents in my opinion. (It is important to note that the completion of MSDSs is up to the company, and I am told by Monona Rossol that basically no one enforces that the content be all that accurate.)

The Amaco MSDS sheet lists the color possibilities........ but it seems that the MDSD is for only the base glaze........ the things (likely at least cobalt compounds) that produce a color like "Midnight Blue" do not show in the CAS listings.

And of course the "technicality assumption" here is that the glaze is looked at SOLELY in the WET form........ otherwise a product containing microcrystalline silica (clays and flint are CAS indicated components) cannot be said to be non-carcinogenic.

Also note the "no guarantees" on the accuracy comment at the bottom of one of them.


I'll say here again that I think K-12 teachers should be looking at the following three data sheets available from ACTS:
Selecting Children's Art Materials (6 pages)

Teaching Art & Theater Safely (8 pages)

Understanding the MSDS (4 pages)



best,
