AWPottery 2 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 I was watching a workshop video on youtube taught by Wally Asselberghs and in it it was mentioned that you burnish the pottery but if you fire it over 950 degrees for bisquing the pot loses its sheen. So in naked raku do you bisque fire to a lower temp ( I usually fire to cone 05) or just bisque fire as normal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcia Selsor 1,505 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 Wally is great. He was using centigrade.950 C is about cone 09 And yes bisque to a lower temperture. Marcia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AWPottery 2 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks Marcia... so 950 is about cone 09.... should I bisque around that temp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcia Selsor 1,505 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 Yes. Much hotter and you lose the terra sig sheen. That is what I bisque to for sagger, foil sagger, horse hair. Marcia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
