Stain colors applied to the glaze must be fired at a temperature higher than the firing temperature of the glaze so that the color does not disappear after firing. In addition, the colors must match well with the chosen coating then the colors will appear as intended.
Today, Pottery Clay will tell you about a form of ceramic firing, that is, 'One Firing'. It is the firing of the workpiece from being dry clay to cooking it on high fire at once.
Pottery Clay has introduced everyone to a temperature measuring tool also known as 'Pyrometric Cones' before. This time we will continue to inform you about the reading of this temperature measuring tool. Let me tell you that it's not difficult to read. Let's see.
A ceramic workpiece may not be coated on the outside only because the inside can be coated as well. If you only need to coat two pieces, it won't take long. You can do it gradually and they will be done. But if there are a lot of orders, what should you do? 'Glaze Fountain' is an option that potters should not overlook.
Simply put, it is a special type of ceramic that is one of the refractory materials that can withstand high heat. At the same time, it was able to maintain its physical properties in that kiln environment. The furniture in the ceramic kiln is made from a special type of ceramic that is highly resistant to heat. It serves to support and protect the product during the high temperature firing process.
Any potters who think that they can buy any kilns to use will need to rethink because even though the kiln is built the same in every step but in fact there is no kiln that can be fired and gives the same result. This is because every kiln has its flaws and has different details.
Prepare 100 test strips with a measurement of 6 x 6 centimeters. The surface of the test strips must be smooth. Then raw fire all of the test strips and keep some of the fired ones.
Many people have asked if there is anything that can help firing smoothly. The answer is yes! Plus it's not difficult to use. Have it next to the kiln will guarantee to help firing workpieces easier.
After working on ceramics as a hobby until being able to master it, some people see an opportunity to expand by creating a smaller studios or running SMEs to produce good work for sale but they find that the power supply that they have is insufficient to use with power tools or equipment. Making a request for additional power is inevitable. But how difficult is it? Let's see.
Before deciding which kiln to use, potters must not forget to check the following 6 things first. If the checklist can be ticked without any problems, then say yes and make a payment.
Another form of firing that potters should know is Reduction Firing, which means incomplete combustion because there is not enough oxygen to react with the fuel in the kiln.
As previously introduced 2 kinds of pottery tools: clay shredder and decorative tools for different purposes. Pottery Clay would like to provide some precautions when using the tools and how to keep them.
