what kind of clay -- if any -- is dishwasher-safe when molded/dried,
etc.? is there a particular process that makes it dishwasher-safe? i'm
thinking of making handled coffee/tea mugs, specifically.
thank you,
caroline

oVirtually all clays,properly dried ands properly glazed,should be
dish-washer safe...whatever that may mean. If there is any problem it is
not the pot but the dishwasher. Some of these hellish devices immediatly
subject all ware to a very high temperature,high pressure deluge. This is
stupid engineering to begin with. ALL fine pottery as well as glass
should,out of simple respewct,be hand-washed. Too heavy? Use plastics.
