Kiln Firing Pottery Clay. In this blog post, we’ll cover how to fire pottery, what the different types of pottery kilns are, and how to create your own electric kiln firing schedule for firing bisque and stoneware pottery pieces. Clay goes through several physical changes when fired. Understanding firing schedules and firing ramps are essential for good results when using a kiln. The temperature needed to transform soft clay into hard ceramic is extremely high and is usually provided by a kiln. Pots must be completely dry before. The first step is the evaporation of water from between the clay particles. Firing pottery is not like turning on an oven and baking cookies or bread. One way to make a raku kiln is to use a steel trash can, and line it with insulating ceramic fiber. You cannot fire pottery in a home oven because ovens do not get up to the high temperatures of more than 1,500 degrees fahrenheit that you need for firing clay. However, it’s actually extremely easy to make your own raku kiln to fire clay at home. A kiln firing chart, also known as a cone firing chart, is a useful tool for understanding the effects of temperature on different types of clays and glazes, as well as determining what firing schedule setpoints should be used depending on the cone rating of the media you’re firing.
