JRWebb Pottery Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hi All, Just joining in and have a problem/question... Yep, yesterday I set a large bisque load to fire in my Paragon Viking 28...didn't pay attention to the computer setting (usually do, of course, but didn't this time) and fired to Cone 6. Well, it's a done deal now... So...what does everyone suggest that I do with all the stuff in the kiln... I know my glazes won't adhere but surely there is something that I can do with it... I have to re-make everything because it was all going to stores, but I really don't want to throw it all away... Suggestions??? Jonni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRWebb Pottery Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks! I'll try heating and glazing with thick glaze...worth a try...worthless otherwise...large kiln full of platters in the shape of Mississippi... Jonni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcar Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have to say , for years I felt that refires were just being disapointed by the same piece twice, or three times or more if i kept beating my head against the wall! But, now.... i've been doing some testing with Sodium Silicate after reading an excellent article in the 2011 Buyers Guide to the Ceramic Arts, by Richard A. Eppler with Mimi Obstler on glazes. I have used this article, especially the section on Deflocculants and Glaze fluidity, as a start to some experimenting with Sodium Silicate in my glazes. I have made two batches of glazes this way, especially for application on refires. I am quite pleased with the results so far. I suggest trying it, and test test test before risking an entire kiln load. (I know it's hard, as potters we are so optimistic sometimes, lol) lcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyL Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 You might want to try gilding them, adding faux fur, epoxying hardware to them then oxidizing the hardware, attaching them together with rebar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
