MollyMac Posted September 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Okay, just started my class at the art center and my wonderful teacher, sculptor Linda Lewis, here in Des Moines, scolded me as she asked if I pre-heated. Um, no mam. Crap. But then she told a story of a thing she fired for a student with a 12 hour pre-heat and it blasted out a side. Lesson for me now, just slow down and let them dry for a month. Poke holes. hollow out, in the end, it will result in a more quality piece anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s time to show her the cool infrared trick for those precious pieces that just have to get fired and have to be dry. She may appreciate a more goof proof way of determining whether things are ready to go into a community kiln as well. still wet sculpture Dry sculpture Relatively inexpensive IPhone magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
