Description

Join me for the final episode in the making a raw-glazed mug on the potter’s wheel series!

In this episode we’ll be talking about how to fire an electric pottery kiln.

We’ll discuss the stoneware glaze kiln firing schedule, including ramp speed and soak time at the maximum temperature of 1260 °C.

I talk about the duration of a stoneware glaze firing and describe the various stages of the kiln firing process.

At the end of the episode, we’ll make a well-earned cup of tea in our finished mug!!
