3/4 inch three point kiln stilt. Priced individually.
If you are interested in completely covering your ceramic pieces with glaze -- even on the bottom surface -- but want to make sure that your work does not ruin your kiln shelves, you may want to try our cone 10-capable stilts. Stilts are specifically designed to allow you to load a piece of ceramic into your kiln with glaze on the bottom side. The glazed pot simply rests on top of the metal points on the top side of the stilt in the kiln. The stilt elevates the pot so that it is not in contact with the kiln shelf, and the metal points on the stilt, though in contact with the glazed piece, will not stick to the glaze. Now you can finally enjoy glazing whole pieces!
These stilts, while small, are strong and durable, as they are made from a high temperature clay body. They can be fired multiple times and withstand rugged treatment. The metal points are made from high quality metal alloy, making them sturdy and long lasting.
All of our triangle stilts fire to cone 10.
Stilting ceramic pieces help keep moisture out of the ware and help against crazing. Ceramic stilts are also a good aid against protecting the kilns shelves from glaze. Please note, to help prolong the life of your kiln furniture/stilts it is advisable to apply some batt wash periodically.
