  1. In Topic: Amaco Ancient Jasper Question

    Posted 20 Sep 2012

    Wow! Ancient Jasper glaze has really started some interesting comments. And to think I started it!!. I salute Steve @ Amaco for the info stuffed response about this glaze and I learned tons from the other members of this happy clay club about firing etc. I love the look of this glaze and will continue to test it based on advise from all above. However, I'm still concerned about firing so hot so quickly. Am I not endangering the remaining ware in the kiln with such a speedy method?

  2. In Topic: changing kiln temperatures

    Hi Chris
    By heavy handed, I mean my ware is thick. And I misquoted my firing. It's not bisque, but the glaze firing. I usually fire about 11 hours. Haven't used cones, but depend on the kilns digital system. My greenware firing is about 8 hours. Isn't a 6 to 8 hour firing for a glaze batch cause for messing up the whole kiln load because it's so short a time?
    thanks
    Nancy

    Asunta -
    What do you mean by 'heavy handed using a stoneware body'?
    I wonder because a six to eight hour bisque firing sounds about right.
    Kiln heat work is the combination of time and temperature. Your longer firings could mean you have been reaching a higher cone temp than you realize. Do you use witness cones to check on what is happening in your bisque firings??

    Fell in love with clay during the 70's and have involved myself with it since then.
