fusing glass in pottery kiln

Apr 13, 2006 5 Replies

Can I fuse different pieces placed on stacked shelves in the kiln? Will the temp. be too different shelf to shelf to predict what the result will be?


If you have a ceramics kiln it might work being that you'll have to fire much slower. I'd be hesitant to try it with a top firing kiln. The top shelf project will fuse much faster than the bottom.

Kim? This sounds like it is right down your alley. Help him out so he'll enjoy the Sinrod experience in fine fusing. ;

If you're fusing small pieces like jewelry you can pull it off. Go slow and don't get greedy.

Larger pieces are a maybe. Let us know how it works out.

Makes "some" difference as to element placement, but the biggie is that heat rises. Once you learn how YOUR kiln works, then you will be able to answer your own question better than anyone here can.

Sometimes it is not a matter if something can be done, but is it efficient and productive to turning out the creation that you want. When I want that special bowl or sink to come out just right, I don't want to have to worry about how the drawer pulls are doing on the next shelf down.
