Serious Warping


maya

Recommended Posts

I made a mission and put a curve in it by drying it over a circular concrete form.  To give it support, I added a base in the back.  When it came out of the kiln, one half looked the same, but the other side warped completely at a crazy angle.

 

Any ideas on how to prevent this?

Can you glaze it in such a fashion to fire it laying down?

Even then you will need to have some sort of connection across the back/top.

Ben I think you would just place a wax resist where your pot will touch the shelf as in any pot. Provided that your glaze is stable there would be no prob.   Just glaze in your usual way. any weight bearing surface in touch with shelf sould be glaze free as normal.
