Firing Onglaze.
I have more or less all the info I need about mixing and applying onglaze
but little knowledge of the firing process. Oddly enough the books I have on 'painting techniques' fail to give details of the firing and for how long etc. They seem to assume one would automatically know this ? Someone has said 2 to 3 hours and fast. Any advice would be much appreciated.. |

Someone has said 2 to 3 hours and fast. Any advice would be much appreciated.. Wow! - well first off I will show my ignorance - what is 'onglaze'? If I change that to being 'on glaze' then I will assume that you have left out a lot of very critical information. How are you going to fire? That is what kiln do you have? Before anyone can give you any useful information they have to know what kind of clay you are using, what glaze, etc. You can fire any where between temperatures you do in your oven (that is not really something that anyone here will be much help with is my guess) and up to ~2500 degrees F (cone14). Many people are currently firing ~2200F (cone6). My firing for that takes around 12 hours but that is just the glaze firing. I fire in an electric kiln. My clay and glaze are formulated for those temperatures. If I fired that clay to cone14 it would melt. If I fired it in the kitchen over the glaze would not 'flux' and the clay would not vitrify (none of the chemical changes would occur that are needed to make the clay and glaze 'glass' like. I've decided I have really over talked this. Tell us what it is your are working with. The only thing I can think of that would fire in 2-3 hours is polymer clay and that is not Pottery. DIY or HGTV might be useful for that. |

Wow ! What was all that about ?
Onglaze is exactly what it says. Any Australians out there ? - I know they like to do 'onglaze' work. Yep! I learned that if I fire onglaze work for 12 hours, it burns off, so I'm looking for specific instructions, before I ruin any more of my painstaking efforts. I have been making an arse of myself for years but what a learning curve eh ?! How else can you learn how to go potty ! "DKat" wrote in message ... "Rob Morley" wrote in message t...

Yes there are Aussies and Kiwis here (hope that isn't offensive - I'll blame
it on my Friend from New Zealand if it is) but Not I - from U.S. of A... I had no idea what onglaze was and made the bad assumption you meant 'on glaze'. The rest only makes sense if you are a scifi or fantasy fan. I thought the 2 links I posted had good info. Sorry if they were of no use. Donna "Rosalind Lacey" wrote in message ... Wow !

Thanks Donna
Not the info I was seeking and not strictly to do with the 'onglaze' medium I was referring to. I guess I will find something about the firing somewhere, or will have to do my own experiments.
