Okay So I've dove in and have been doing some slip casting myself ..but the biggest problem I have is not with the casting but the... Glazing. I have a small kiln 10Amp 240 Volt that can regularly fire to 1060c or about cone 04. I cast using a comercial slip that fires cone 04 I have been using an underglaze and then a clear glaze that goes to cone 05. sometimes it's fine..but I seem to have a lot of issues with glaze shivering off . Am I better off just glazing and not screwing around with the underglazes? I have been using all commercial glazes and slips (not home mixed) from a company here in Australia called Keane ceramics. Any tips would be appreciated. PREPARE TO BE BOARDED! CAP'N PHARAOH [ Edited by: Cap'n Pharaoh 2009-07-24 08:34 ]
