Nelleke Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hello, I was using Google to find information about ceramics for beginners and I found this website. I saw in an article a ceramic pendant with glass fused onto it (attached file). Can this type of pendant be made with low fire clays and glazes? I have a Paragon Fire Fly kiln-manual type, I just purchased 2 days ago so I'm brand new to ceramics and glass fusing. I was hoping someone could answer my question and make suggestions for a beginner, any suggestions on books to read etc. CERAMIC GLASS PENDANT.doc CERAMIC GLASS PENDANT.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Campbell Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 You should consider taking a beginner clay class if there is one near you as you will be able to shorten your learning curve that way. This pendant looks fairly simple to make. I would roll out the clay to the thinness you want, stamp out the shapes you want, let them dry, smooth the deges with a damp sponge, then bisque them at about cone 06 - 08 ish. Try to handle them as little as possible during the wet stage. The glass part I am not expert on ... In the past I have simply sprinkled on crushed Colored glass ... Leftovers from a friend who works with stained glass ... And low fired again. Go to the ceramic arts daily link at the top of this page and see if you can find a lesson or a video on glass fusing.
