Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with this Whirling Dervish bisque. Firing is the essential final step to transform the porous bisque into a professional ceramic artwork with vibrant, lasting colors.

• Ceramic Firing: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a resilient and high-gloss surface.
• Tile (Çini) Firing: Ideal for classical spiritual motifs and "Çini" patterns at 900°C – 920°C.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable for display-only decorative projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Acrylic-finished plaques are not food-safe and should not be used in contact with health-sensitive materials.
• A protective varnish is recommended post-painting to maintain the design and safeguard the surface.

Craftsmanship & Handcrafted Variations

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each Whirling Dervish Plaque carries the unique touch of artisanal production. Natural variations in thickness, size, or clay tone are hallmarks of authentic handcrafted pottery, ensuring every piece has its own unique spirit.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and completely dry before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of your specific glaze type.
• Performing a test fire is suggested to observe how kiln atmosphere influences the final color.
