And speaking of bisque and green glaze firing
When I get back I will have to pick your brain on how to pit fire with
greenware if you don't mind. I posted a picture under alt.binaries.crafts (subject pitpot) to show the color range I got in the pit firing we did with the pots being bisqued to cone 010. Donna "Eddie Daughton" wrote in message ... In my 'umble experience if you raw fire clay in a ground type kiln then it picks up colour well, whereas if you bisque it (bisquit Tee Hee) first then it doesn't pick up the colour so well.. Really it's a compromise (as usual with clay (pottery the art of compromise!!!)) between the look and the strength... I don't really like the "Wax polished afterwards" effect either... Maybe somewhere there's a matt wax poloish that does the job well.... Hugs Eddie |
