Question QUESTION: I live and work in Cape Town South Africa. I want to buy a relatively large quantity of 7% or 8% gold lustre for use on top of a white glaze on domestic ware. Where can I buy 500ml or 1 litre?
ANSWER: Wendy,
Have you tried a national ceramic supplier? There are 285 businesses in the U.S. & Canada, I believe one is in Australia. Australia may be closer to you. They're worth investigating;

If they can't help, please write again and I'll find the closet one from the U.S. to you. :) Leisha

QUESTION: Dear Leisha, Venco in Australia supplies potters' equipment, not materials. Can I ask for the names of a couple of USA suppliers of potters materials?
thanks, Wendy
