And speaking of bisque and green glaze firing

When I get back I will have to pick your brain on how to pit fire with
greenware if you don't mind.

I posted a picture under alt.binaries.crafts (subject pitpot) to show the
color range I got in the pit firing we did with the pots being bisqued to
cone 010.

In my 'umble experience if you raw fire clay in a ground type kiln then it
picks up colour well, whereas if you bisque it (bisquit Tee Hee) first
then it doesn't pick up the colour so well.. Really it's a compromise (as
usual with clay (pottery the art of compromise!!!)) between the look and
the strength... I don't really like the "Wax polished afterwards" effect
either... Maybe somewhere there's a matt wax poloish that does the job
well....
