Frequently Asked Questions

I believe in using local resources as they would leave a lesser carbon footprint. Hence, a good quality stoneware clay is sourced from Indian suppliers of clay. The clay bodies and glazes that I use are all lead free and tested food safe, microwave & oven friendly. Most of all other raw materials used are also indigenous and I try to make most of my sculptural glazes too non-toxic.

All the products at KlayKathaa are multi-fired at 1220+°C in the studio.

Handle With Care
• As they are high fired, these wares are microwave and oven safe. Same care should be taken to handle them like
in the case of glasswares
• Hand wash with mild detergents only. Abrasive/harsh cleaning agents should not be used

I use white and a dark colour stoneware clay and porcelain in my studio for making pottery. These are mid-range clays (fired to 1220+ celsius) and perfect for daily use as they are stronger and less prone to breakage and damage. The glazes used are all 100% lead free and food safe.

Each of our ceramic ware is made with cone 6 stoneware or porcelain clay which is more resistant to breakage. To retain the quality of your piece and ensure longevity, hand-washing with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge in soapy water is recommended. However, the products are dishwasher and microwave safe. Avoid placing in extreme hot or cold environments such as oven or freezer as this may cause thermal shock and result in fragility and cracking and/or breakage.
