freckldceramics Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hello! What are my options when it comes to glazing something completely with out any wax resist. I have been wanting to make spoons but I am stumped because I do not want to have to wax resist the entire one side that will be laying on the kiln shelf. I want the entire spoon to be a certain colour. If I completely dip it and then fire it wont that make a mess of my kiln shelf?? Please help me!

Min Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hi and welcome to the forum! Ceramic stilts work well for things like this. They leave a little glaze prickle on the underside but those can be carefully ground down. Some clays will slump enough for these not to work, will have to try and see with a waster piece of clay underneath in case it sags onto the kiln shelf.

LeeU Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Something I do is put a hole in the top of the spoon, since people sometimes like to hang them. Then I fire them on a bead rack-either commercial or something I rig up if I need a taller space. freckldceramics, Chilly and Rae Reich 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Stilts will work best at low to midfiring temps imo , a little grind will remove rough spots.depending on design you can get away with just the end of underside of handle and a tiny area of belly of spoon being coated with resist and rest glazed.
