Sconce Night view

These are great! Once fired?, or holes drilled after bisque?

Back supported during firing, or did you fire them standing on end, are they strutted inside as they show no form of warping!

Great stuff.

Thanks for asking Babs. I keep the backing on a plaster board overnight befor I cut the width and length. Then I cut the holes on the back. I flip it and by then the front will be leather hard and I cut the sides using a selected board of my choice. In this case a .5"x1.75". Score and slip with magic water and add coils to joints. Let it sit in my drying cabinet, I control the drying by opening or closing the roll up plastic door. The next day or even tgat night I cut a stencil and center it on the sconce. This is when I use underglaze and drill the light holes. And cut the side openings with a razor.

I do prefer to bisque, rather than all in one fire, because, I do not want the clear glaze to smear the underglaze. I clear glaze and then fire to ^6.

Hope that helps.

Nice work, The installation is really effective.

Going commercial with them  ie selling them, you must have people admiring them as they visit you.

Oh, I forgot, I have them flat on the backs in the kiln. I only glaze the outside front.

I would like to go commercial with them, but I don't know how.

Maybe post a question in the marketing section of the forum.

Good luck. they're great.

Thanks for the friend thingie!
