Thank you so much for giving detailed instructions with tips on making a mold! For a first timer, all those extra things were a huge help for me and gave me much needed insight. Thank you!

Hi Laura, I just started throwing one piece lidded jars. I have been watching other potters, but your explanation, especially being able to change the shape is very helpful. I also like how you lifted the extra clay off of the top when closing.

When I try to close the form, my lip gets wonky. Every. Single. Time. I try to compress the lid as I go but I can't figure out what I'm doing to knock it off level.
@triciac10198 ай бұрын
That happens a lot. You can trim off the uneven part of the lip before closing it. I hope I understood you correctly.

I finally sculpted something im fairly proud of. Its not the best thing ever but at least im finally getting somewhere with faces cheecks are a bit of a struggle inthink it would be easier to get even if i did coils for the cheecks instead of flattened bits

Did you try bisque firing with it? Can you post some videos where you use real pieces for firing.

ok Laura i see your slip your plaster mold after turning on potery wheel but can we recycle the clay inside the plaster mold after unmolding.

Hi Laura how long you let your clay drying before making a plaster mold.

The glass plate was getting warm because it was also absorbing the microwave radiation, not because of the kiln transferring heat to it via conduction. If you remove the plate when using the microwave, it will be even more efficient since all of the microwave radiation will get absorbed by the heating medium (SiC) that covers the inner walls of the kiln.
@Schattenmeister3 жыл бұрын
Yes, thats right. I have seen it on an other Video. The Glass Plate getting hot and absorbing the Microwaves. More Microwaves -> more hotter the Plate -> absorbing more Microwaves.....

Hello. I am interested in microwave kilns for scientific/lab purposes. I don't know much about how the cone system works, but it seems like the kiln had to get up to 1915 or 1945 F to melt that clay, right? Or is there more to it? Thanks!
@laurahaight26604 жыл бұрын
Hi Kenneth, Cones are a measure of temperature over time and are used to judge the "heat work" (basically has everything melted appropriately). So they are not giving us a exact temp. The cones are made of the same materials that our clay and glazes are made of and if the cone bends then it is a good indicator that our ceramic pieces have gone threw the appropriate amount of heat work. 1850 to 1950F is a good guess but cones are not meant to judge only temperature. I hope this is helpful.
@kennethanderson76424 жыл бұрын
@@laurahaight2660 Thanks! The reason I ask is that other sites say that microwave kilns can reach only 800-899C. Melting a cone 04 would significantly surpass that at around 1000C+! That evidence is really useful, as these kilns seem less studied and are harder to study, as getting measurement equipment in a microwave is tough ...
