Tips for Firing Stoneware
Bisque shrinks 10% during firing.
Dry foot stoneware on a kiln washed shelf.
Fire to Cone 6.
Do not stilt. Since the bisque is soft-fired, the stilt may embed in the stoneware when fired.
Fully support stoneware bisque during firing. Place piece on one shelf instead of extending over the edge of a kiln shelf or onto another shelf.
Direct mug handles toward the centre of the kiln.
Tracking Your Finished Pieces
Keeping your Stoneware pieces separate from your earthenware is a good idea to ensure they are fired to the proper temperature (cone 6). Place stoneware in a separate area or on a separate shelf in your kiln room or place a coloured slip of paper with the stoneware shapes to keep them separate. You may also want to consider having a set day for cone 6 firings so the pieces will be ready in a timely manner.
