I'm just getting into clay and am beginning to realize how ignorant I am! I recently bought several different kinds of clay -- all cone 6. I have access to a Skutt automatic kiln. I'm making some test tiles to eventually use for testing glazes. Somewhere I read that bisque firing is around cone
05-06 rather than cone 6. Should I fire to 06 first, glaze, then fire to cone 6 (or whatever the glaze needs), or fire to cone 6 before glazing? Also, is it possible to glaze the greenware and only fire once at cone 6?Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. I know this is very elementary for most of you...
