I just bought a used electric kiln. It is very basic and just has a kiln sitter. My goal this quarter is to transition from high fire ceramics to low/mid range. I specifically wanted a basic kiln as I believe part of the learning processing and getting to know my kiln, is to watch it. I need to understand the entire process and not simply depend on a computer.
My first task will be to use up and bisque all my high fire porcelain clay. I plan on researching and making 05 glazes and firing in my home kiln. Because I don't have a pyrometer on the kiln, I have a lot of questions as to how to glaze fire, venting etc. Yesterday, I found myself wandering around Seattle Pottery, picking up this and that. In the end, I put everything back because I want to talk to Rachel first.
