I did not want to hijack an earlier thread on dyes, but Jamie Donaldson mentioned the importance of archival quality dyes when it comes to light fastness. I know Jamie has been doing some work in finding good, light fast dyes. Jamie, would you (or anyone else exploring this) be kind enough to to give the rest of us a helping hand?
Is there such a thing as a really light fast food safe dye?
I make mostly salad bowls -- not hollow forms. I know my bowls will end up with food in them at some time or other (I hope!), so I cannot use dyes unless they are food safe. And, I certainly do not want them to fade!
