Glazing pottery ladles and spoons
Can anyone tell me if there is a technique to all-over glaze a pottery ladle
or spoon without it sticking to the kiln shelf. Are kiln stilts needed? Yours quizzingly, JM |

Yes something like kiln stilts are needed and then you are going to have
holes unless the glaze is really thin where the pins hit. "JM" wrote in message ... Can anyone tell me if there is a technique to all-over glaze a pottery ladle or spoon without it sticking to the kiln shelf. Are kiln stilts needed? Yours quizzingly, JM |

good question, i know about kiln stilts, but don't like the marks they leave.
i suspose - but never tried - you can fully glaze a spoon and nest it in a high melt material powder? let it fire & portions will certainly stick, but when done buff it on a machine? just curious - the concept of a release agent formulated for high temperature might work. see ya steve Subject: Glazing pottery ladles and spoons From: "JM" Date: 11/11/2004 11:13 AM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: Can anyone tell me if there is a technique to all-over glaze a pottery ladle or spoon without it sticking to the kiln shelf.

Thanks for the input. My question arose out of curiosity when I recently
bought a new pottery book. It gives great ideas and techniques on throwing, but doesn't have much information on the glazing and firing methods. One of the items was a punch/soup turine with pottery ladle. The end product looks amazing, but it didn't explain how the ladle was glaze fired (it looks to be glazed all over) and I couldn't understand how this could be done, other than by using kiln stilts. regards JM |
