Bead rack tree tower with high temp wire. Clay pattie (tortilla thick, unfired) under glazed cat. High temp wire embedded in clay pattie as a stilt. This is my first glaze fire. Can't wait to see the kiln open! -

I used Liquid Bandaid as a resist on the bird so I could scratch in lines and fill with black. -

Glazing tiny details, preplanning the steps like a recipe. First 2 ever ceramic pieces glazed and I'm already experimenting. I used Liquid Bandaid as a resist on the bird so I could scratch in lines and fill with black. -

Very first batch of low fire clay pieces. All loaded onto a 5X5 inch kiln shelf. I have a Paragon SC2 kiln that I named Miss Piggy. I use it often to anneal steel rods for making stamps and I fire metal clay silver and bronze. This first bisque firing was thrilling! 15 hours, very conservative ramp rate. Like the first time trying to dress a newborn, I was being super careful.© yorkavenuestudio.com

Looking for suggestions for glaze firing heavy beads and ornaments. I have a lot of them and using the standard bead trees/racks they will sag for sure. I have seen one option on YouTube from "Janice the Potter" who uses an extrusion with high fire 17g kanthal wire loops to fire her pendants. I am considering something like this (would have to slab build multiples of them since I don't have an extruder). I have also considered using stilt posts in firebrick/clay base made from heavy gauge nichrome/kanthal but am concerned it will sag and tip over at Cone 5/6. Has anyone had experience with this and what do you use? Thanks.

This is a bowl that I ruined as I was putting in the kiln to bisque fire. Originally it had braided handles to match the braid that runs around the top. As I was pulling my hands out I tapped on of the bone try handles with my little finger and it broke off. I removed it from the kiln shaved off the stump and cut off the other handle then decided I did not like it without handles drilled holes to add the beaded handles after it was fired. It is glazed in coyotes celadon line of glazes In Key line, Sedona Sunset and Sapphire. The handles are heavy duty wire with multi colored glass beads. The dish is NOT food safe due to the handles but it is a very pretty display piece.© Terry Buffington
