    So, I am a new high school art teacher who is in charge of the school's ceramics classes. When I was going through my classroom supplies, I learned that we have cone 6 clay, but all of our glaze is cone 06-04... SOS. What is the best way to use the supplies I have, when ordering new supplies at this time is not an option? I figured I could only fire the clay to cone 04, but then the work won't be as strong. Could I fire the clay to cone 6 as a "bisque" then follow it with a cone 04 glaze fire? Thank you in advance for any help offered!!!

      I think it would help to determine what you have in clay and glazes, and in enrollment. You may be able to adjust your glazes or fire to ^6 slow bisque. Let us know inventory.

       

      best,

      What type of things are your students making? Decorative pieces or cups etc. 

      You will probably get more replies if you post your question in the Studio Operations and Making Work section of the forum, link here. Hit the orange "start new topic" box and follow the prompts.

      Welcome to the forum.

      Inventory is cone 6 earthenware clay,  and a variety of cone 06-04 glazes, but most of the glazes are Amaco. 

      My students have made decorative and functional pieces. 

      Thanks!
