Hello!
I was recently gifted a china painting kiln. However, I want to use it to fire pottery. I am used to doing mid/high fire pottery so I am not sure what clay would work best with this temperature. I can fire to cone 022-06. The temperature of these kilns are not supposed to exceed 1800 degrees. When working with low fire clay I was taught to always bisque fire to a cone 04. When searching for the appropriate low fire clay, the results are always clay that should be bisqued at 04. I am guessing I should be doing my bisque fire at a cone 06 so those clays wouldn't work with my kiln?
Could I then glaze fire also at cone 06 with low fire glaze?
Do you have any suggestions on clay I can buy that would work well with these temperatures?
My kiln is the Evenheat RM2 1210 120v
Thank you for your help
