EdgewiseWendy Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I made a slab platter that was too large to fit in my electric kiln. I bisque fired it by propping the kiln shelf at an angle and am hoping I am not crazy for thinking I can also glaze fire it to cone 6 this way.

Marcia Selsor Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hopefully it will shrink enough to fire it flat. How did the bisque firing work out? Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Glaze like to run off at big angles so make sure its thin glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 one way to avoid that is to put a kiln shelf on your worktable and use a sharpie to draw around it. measure anything even close this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 How about coming up with a glazing pattern that would be conducive to firing on a slant? JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay lover Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I also use the cardboard slab the size of the kiln minus 2" as a fail safe when making large pieces. But...as to the firing on a slant, doesn't it come really close, or even touch, the elements? how can that survive the uneven heating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Fireborn Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I want to know how this turned out! Please. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
