Checklist:
Makers mark- will I know its my work when it comes out?
Bisque:
is my work dry
does my Clay fire at that temperature cone 06 (imagine the 0 is a minus sign)
are my walls thicker than 2cm
are my works unglazed- although once firing is possible we don't do once firing in our kilns due to the increased risk of damage.
Glaze:
Can my clay fire to cone 6?
Is my glaze a cone 6 glaze?
Have I cleaned the glaze off the bottom of the pot and left 1/2 cm clearance from the bottom
Is my glaze going to run?
If you are unsure, you should make a sacrificial clay pad both for the health of your pot and our shelves.
