Electric Kiln 101
Workshop:
Saturday, April 19, 2008 (10 a.m. - 6 p.m.)
This 1-day $50 workshop focused on
the basic operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of
common problems when working with electric kilns.
Cone 6 glazing techniques and glazes were included
(yes, I shared my recipes).
Many potters have found themselves
stymied by the jumble of wires n the metal boxes of
their kiln. My mission was to help you avoid
the expense of calling someone in-if you just can't get
the temperature.
Students had to come prepared with
cone 6 bisque for test. It was recommended to throw a
deep bottomless ring, one with white clay and one brown.
Andrew usually adds texture with a stamp then waits until leather
hard. Carefully cut into freestanding sections.
You may want to drill a hole in each for stringing/display.
Bring a couple of small pots as well.
