Bisque Fired Ceramic Tile Sources Cone?


Recommended Posts

I've been asked to help with a memorial wall. I can use decals run through a laser printer for the names on the tiles. I usually second fire my decal paper to 04 to adhere to my ceramics now. 1) Has anyone done this? 2) what is a good source for tiles 4" through 12" that have been bique fired. 3) Any tips on glazing the tiles?

 

Thanks, Steve Helmbrecht

For transfer printing tests I routinely refire white glazed wall tiles 4 inches square, made by Interceramic and sold by Lowes for a whopping 16 cents each. I fire to 1900F full rate in my little test kiln, taking a bit over 2 hours. They come out looking good as new.

 

Sometimes I overglaze with a clear glaze from Gare. Not certain exactly which product, because I buy it in small amounts from a local studio workshop. If I let these cool too quickly I see some cracking of the glaze, but it does OK if allowed to cool in a closed kiln.
