How to make Kiln Cookies for Ceramics

This is how I currently make my "kiln cookies" or "patties", to protect the kiln shelves from glaze drips, especially when doing some weird experiments or trying new glazes.
Update! The reason my clay (not the glaze) got stuck, and why I saw plucking, was probably because the kiln was firing higher than it should!
Hope you find this useful :)
Do you have your own kiln shelves/cookies tips and trix to share? :}

Great tip with waffle rolling pin Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@nymla]

Most satisfying moment when I thought of the wafflepin-strategy and it worked! 😄

Yay! 😊

Very cool! Where did you get those 1kg weights? Thank you for posting this! ❤

[@nymla]

I got them at some second hand shop a long time ago. You can also use weights for weightlifting, just those flat things whatever theyre called, very handy:)

Thank you for this video! Can you reuse the same cookies ? How long can we use cookies for ?

[@nymla]

As far as I know, you can reuse them until they are not functional anymore. Like if they get glaze on them that you cant remove. And Ive noticed some of them start to get bloating after being fired many times.

Superbra tips! :) Nu fick min gamla "kruskavel" plötsligt ett användningsområde ;P Fråga från en nybörjare :) Varför målar du båda sidorna på "kakorna" med plattengobe, räcker inte sidan som själva godset står på?

[@nymla]

Åh så bra:D Gör inte alltid det, men tror jag penslade båda bara för att kunna vända på dem om jag vill, eller om det redan är nåt bös (som glasyrrester som inte tagits bort eller inte går att få bort) på sättplattan, vilket det ibland är i den gemensamma ugnen här, och vill minska chansen att kakan fastnar i plattan:)

Tack för att du svara :) Din keramik är väldigt inspirerande och vacker. @@nymla

Thanks a lot for the informative video. 🙏🏻🌱I have two questions: 1- There's no need to bisque fire again after applying kilnwash? (before using them in glaze firing I mean) 2- Is it possible to apply kilnwash on bone dry cookies and then bisque fire them? Thanks in advance ❤

[@elizabethwatson71]

Would these work under glass while I fired?

[@nymla]

Not sure what you mean "under glass"? Do you mean when adding bits of glass to the ceramics? I use these as a safety precaution for that too, but then I also like to make the "cookie" with some edges so it will properly catch any glass if the ceramics crack and glass pours out - that's just how I do it.

[@elizabethwatson71]

@@nymla I make glass art in a kiln. Can these be kiln washed and used under glass?

[@nymla]

Maybe. I don't know enough about glass art to answer that, sorry. @@elizabethwatson71

[@elizabethwatson71]

Do you sell these?

[@nymla]

I don't, it will be much easier to make them yourself imo, you don't have to use a textured rolling pin if you don't have one, and don't need cookie cutters either.
