1. These Glazes are shown on Coleman Porcelain.
2. These Glazes Are Fired to Cone 10.
3. It's 113 degrees higher to get from cone 6 to cone 10.
4. Why are you under-firing your work? No Feldspars or Silicas melt at cone 6. They're using Frits to melt the mid-range body which causes issues.
5. If you want to save money in temperature range work in earthenware with Majolica glazes fired to the cone 06-04 range. This is the only other "vitreous" temperature until you get to cone 7.
6. Coleman Porcelain is vitreous at cone 7. Cone 6 with a 15 minute soak is actually cone 7. Put self supporting cones into your kiln to see what temperature you're really firing to.
7. Not all porcelain being sold is "porcelain."
8. "Porcelaneous Stoneware" is NOT Porcelain.
9. KNOW YOUR CLAY BODY. Your work is only as good as the clay body you're working in.
10. Glaze can be formulated to melt at any temperature. A good throwing clay body can not. The GOAL is for the Clay Body and the Glaze to melt together.
11. Email us for directions to The Absorption Test. This is the First Step in creating Functional Pottery. [email protected]
12. YES, even if you're just a "Hobby Potter" you're responsible for the work you put out there for people to eat and drink from.
13. Crazing (cracks in the glaze surface) is NOT OK. This means the Clay Body and the Glaze don't fit together. Email us for the solution. [email protected]
14. BMix is going to give you a different result.
15. Bisque Coleman Porcelain to cone 010. The body is porous and will absorb the glaze. Also, the body and the glaze Melt Together. Better for functional ware.
16. The worst advice in Ceramics is the clay companies telling people to bisque their work to cone 04. In most cases, they are just the supplier and don't know ceramic chemistry.
17. READ THE INFORMATION FOR EACH GLAZE.
18. Materials from the mines have changed in recent months. Prices for raw materials have also gone up. Some items have needed to be re-formulate and tested before shipping.
