[attach a heavy ceramic sculpture to a base]

I made a 20" high, 10" wide sculpture. I want it to stand slanted on a wooden base. The bottom is at an angle.

It weighs 8 lbs .

I made the edge that would be in contact with the base about 1" thick, and my idea is to insert 2 metal rods into this area that would attach it to the base.

It needs a very strong support.

Shall I drill the holes before firing, or at the bisque stage?

Any other ideas to attach it to the base?

Thanks

I can try making my own white matte glaze, if someone sends me a recipe.

I am using bmix for some pieces and S14 from Sheffield (fires white) clay

I do not have control over kiln temp, I am firing in my school's kiln.

Also, I do not mix my own glazes.

Thanks

I want to glaze my sculptures with a white white very matte glaze.

I tried Amaco LM11 but it is a little glossy.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a true white glaze?

Thanks,
