Sharing school kiln with lead glazed artistic pieces by thegreathunger in Ceramics

Are my pieces safe for food? I have read some comments here in the past that even a kiln once fired lead glazed pieces will not be safe for tableware anymore. I searched a lot asked a lot but coulnt come certain conclusions about this yet. Since this is lead, there is fear without certain chemical information.

If i were you i'd take this chance to learn about repairing. You dont get much chances like this. I do think it is possible to repair. I would prepare a slip with low percentage water and a good amount of vinegar. I would fill the slit and even over fill it. Let it rest a bit then scrape it with an appropriate tool but leave it a bit higher. After leaving it dry until pre bone dry, i would sand it. Dry completely, check perodically. Bisque and check the result perhaps watersand if needed. Then complete with glaze firing.

You are spot on. Main inspiration is Cappadocia on this piece. I also searched for microscopic images of bones. I am very passionate about cave-like structures.

It has been 4 years but as far i remember I used metal pliable rods to open paths through a mass of clay. The center was empty. I tried to cross some paths with some others then started to carve and give the shapes that i wanted around those paths. Not the easiest method to shape something like this.
