Clover Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hi, I am using Flax Paper Clay Porcelain ES6000 to make some small flowers and the finished pieces are around 1cm thick at the fattest point. The issue I have is that I have no idea how to go about firing and glazing porcelain. Do I bisque fire porcelain? If yes what temperature should I fire to? Can I fire porcelain in the same firing as other clays (B17C Stoneware) ? Looking on the Scarva website it says the firing temperature is 1220ºC - 1280ºC but I am unsure as to what temperature the clay stops being able to absorb glaze? Thank you so much in advance!!

Bill Kielb Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Porcelain is clay so yes bisque fire to burnout organics and make it sintered and sturdy to handle / decorate - and fire to its rated cone. The range you have posted indicates that is a cone 10 claybody. Bisque to 04 / 05 glaze to 10 would be typical. Since these are flowers you may want to consider using a lower firing range claybody.
