Free Glaze Chemistry Lesson: Why Are Ceramic Cone Temperatures Random? | Ceramic Materials Workshop

[@anniesama5729]

I was searching for the answer to exactly what the cones were in reference to for a while but you were the first one to answer it. Thanks!

[@ceramicmaterialsworkshop]

You are welcome!

[@alex-hp1ix]

Excellent information about cone temperature for potters! Signing up for Your workshop!

[@susanweaver6881]

good explanation .

[@epsmith4]

Very glad I have stumbled across your website and videos. Thank you!!!!

[@potterynix]

Great video! Looking forward to checking out your website...

[@charljoubert6993]

Great explanation, thank you very much.

[@lindaarbuckle6266]

Oh, Matt, such a fun talk about things I kind of knew and never knew but wondered about. Thanks!

[@matthewkatz7320]

Thanks Linda, the are lots of mysteries to be discussed!

[@ouzel2011]

Brilliant. if you are a potter, take Matt Katz's workshops/classes. Many of the mysteries explained.

[@mikethedesertrat]

I've never done pottery or ceramics, and got here by doing research on something else, but great video. Very interesting.

[@ceramicmaterialsworkshop]

That's awesome, Thanks Mike! Glad I could teach you something new.

[@gabiglaezer8685]

Very nice video and so well explained thank you so much!

Holy crap, the wavelength of the light is the most accurate way to measure heat? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="402">6:42</a>

Would there ever be a reason not to use UMF for glazes? I am trying to come up with one.

[@matthewkatz7320]

High Bridge Pottery. There isn't. I've now worked with the UMF for 20 years and it it helps us understand ALL glazes, all temperatures and textures. There are some that still will say that the UMF is "just a theory" and "that it doesn't apply to everything". But I've dedicated my life to the UMF and I'm not exaggerating when I say it helps us understand all glazes. If you want to learn more about the UMF (if you are new to it or you've been using it for years) try our first online workshop.

[@highbridgepottery8251]

I agree, it's useful making all the flux add up to one but I feel there must be some use to say add silica up to one. Maybe not. I might try it.

[@matthewkatz7320]

I actually discuss why that doesn't work, in the workshop. The inherent problem is that Silica melts at too high of a temperature. And although the result of the UMF is to show physical performance, it is actually a tool based in temperature (hence cones)

I watch videos on my phone. In this video I can barely see the numbers. Maybe next time you can leave your head out of the video. We don't need to look at how you talk since we can hear it very well. But I'd appreciate it if I could see the numbers in the chart you're teaching us about. Thank you so much and please don't take this the wrong way, I just don't know how else to say it. Thank you!
