I was thinking of making platters so I could draw on them, stencil them, and decal them. I am really just looking at flat items that may work for me and my "style". I think I will make boxes with drawers and back-drops for my figures. Especially after I read this:
"Tableware producers must have all finished ware tested and approved as safe for dinnerware through a certified laboratory due to possible variations in firing temperature and possible contamination."
What?
Really?
Do those of you that make dinnerware do this? (scratches head)
UPDATE: The shop told me that as long as the glazes have been tested I am cool. So I bought a platter mold. See me dancing all around the place?

Perhaps that's for commercial applications. Where did you read this. I know there are new regs out on lead testing.
Hi Linda, I saw it at one of the online ceramic supply stores. I have been on hold with the FDA for a half hour. I will call Georgie's after 9am to see what they know. I really, really wanna make platters. (grin ;)
