The biggest problem is that the dichromate emulsion are a hazard to breath.
If you do not have a kiln, make sure the person/company you use to fire the
materials understands that the firing process releases hazardous fumes.
Basically, you are using a dichromate sensitizer, a carrier and the ceramic
glazes. Tiles are coated, dried, exposed and water developed. After drying,
they are fired in a kiln.
