Ceramic Crayon - Multiple Colors Available

I’m so excited to introduce my new classic crayon! These medium-firm crayons feel just like the ones you loved as a kid. Their buttery consistency allows you to easily apply fully saturated color while maintaining a high level of control and tonal variation. These are much softer than my pencils. While shading is still possible, the softness allows for more expressive marks. They stay true to color up to cone 10, can be sharpened with a standard, large-sized pencil sharpener, and are fully erasable before firing making them an extremely forgiving medium to experiment with.

These crayons are intended to be applied to bisque or fully fired clay. They can be used alone, as a wax resist, or accept clear glaze on top after firing.  If using on a food-contact surface (e.g. the inside of a bowl), you must apply a cover glaze. Be sure to fire in a well ventilated kiln.

Firing temperature is dependent on the surface you are applying to and ranges from cone 04 for fully fired clay to cone 6-10 when applied to bisque fired stoneware. More detailed firing information is included in the package insert, but I recommend creating sample tiles to see exactly how the crayons work with your clay and firing setup.

As a new product, there’s lots of room for experimentation. Try applying to the top of matte glazes, layering additional pigment after firing, or using in combination with my oil pastels and colored pencils. Keep an eye on my social media for upcoming demos and examples.
