If glazing, use a zinc-free style of clear glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese crayons are a little softer than the ones you used in school, but are firmer than my oil pastels. You can sharpen them with the large port of any standard pencil sharpener to get a really nice point. They blend well, feel great on bisque ware, and lack any scratchiness. On bone dry clay they can work, but you'd probably need to paint the clay with a thin layer of dilute school glue to harden it before drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ordered my crayons before, these ones are a bit softer and more buttery than the previous version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore firing, they act as a colorful resist and repel glaze. After burning away the wax, you can glaze on top of them. I bisque fire them to cone 04 to get them to adhere well for glazing. If you can’t bisque them that hot, cheap hair spray works great as a fixative to help avoid smudging them while glazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese first 100 packs will be full sized (a little over 3 inches long) and will come in a metal tin, just like in the images. I'm still deciding which colors will be in this set, but it will be a rainbow my 12 best colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm really proud of them, and need your help getting them to market. Get them at this special low price while I still have preorder slots available. After the first 100 slots are full, I may offer more in a smaller sample size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe May 1st ship date gives me enough time to get supplies, buy some better equipment, do some machining, make the crayons, and ship them to you. In exchange for the lower price here, I also want to be able to push back the shipping deadline if something unforeseen happens. That being said, I’m pretty confident I’ll meet that deadline. If I need more time, I'll send an email with an update.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor now, I can only offer shipping to the United States. I'm still figuring out international shipping. Sorry!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the last several years, I've dedicated my life to making great drawing implements for clay. These are the best I've made so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI hope you like them!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stone's Handmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62739215384735,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/5988\/9311\/files\/7N7A9843.jpg?v=1779137722","url":"https:\/\/stoneshandmade.com\/products\/preorder-ceramic-crayon-12-pack-ships-may-1st","provider":"Stone's Handmade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
