Not really. These fire at 1000c, an average oven might go to 260c or so. You could use acrylic/paint on a bisqued tile and then use a crystal or clear epoxy resin over it. You can buy bisque-ware online, and then search up your local ceramics store, they will often have a firing service. That way you can decorate the tiles with bisque underglaze and have them fired. If the glaze isn't fired high enough, the silica and other ingredients won't flow and adhere to the tile, also if it's too hot it will just melt and run.
Thanks for posting this excellent demonstration. I have a Skutt kiln with an electronic programmable controller that I will use to fire the tiles to cone 06. Can you recommend a good firing schedule (ramp speed, soak temp, cooling speed) to get the best results? Thanks!
Crawling is most often caused by the glaze being too thick or too much water. As the glaze heats up it cracks like mud in the desert. The cracks don't heal and the glaze beads up because of surface tension. Like water on a new car.
well, they should still be washed, those spots in the corners are clay dust which will keep the glaze from sticking, IMHO. Maybe theres another word I'm looking for to describe when it wont stick?
Enjoying the videos. Good editing , direct to the points .
Nice video, simple instructions, thank U
thanks for share your video,(I love your dog), where can I get the terra cotta bisque tile ? thank you
Hi there. Thanks so much for this tutorial. I would like to get started with this, can you please help with the materials required. Thanks
You are going to fire to cone 06 and this will give a shiny durable finish ???
for at home crafts, is it possible to put it in the oven at a certain temp that would equal firing it?
I would love to know the answer to this too.

Just cone fire on medium to cone 06, a five minute hold never hurts.Brant Palley
👍
those kind of tiles really should be washed and dried before glazing. the glaze will crawl on a dusty tile..
