Benzine 1,233 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share It will be Raku fired. What happens as a result...... Sometimes I come up with ideas, and create them, before I fully figure out if they are practical or possible... Quote Link to comment
Bob Coyle 120 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share The shaft on that spear isn't clay... is it? Your idea of loweing them into the kiln on a pre-bisqued platter sounds like it would prevent breakage. Getting them out is another matter. I would just bite the bullet and use the tongs to grab them by the torso rather than any wires that might break or tip them over. Good luck to you!

Benzine 1,233 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Bob, the whole spear is indeed clay. It is removable, I had it in place for the sake of the photo. Currently, it is laying next to the sculpture, and will be fired separate, at least for the bisque. Initially I was going to slip it in place, or glaze it in place later, but being as it is easily breakable, I figure, by not attaching them, I can always make another later, if the first is broken.
