Orton Standard Pyrometric Cones
Pyrometric cones are slender pyramids made from about 100 carefully controlled compositions. Each cone number is unique in measuring temperature within a small temperature range (less than 30°C). Cones measure the amount of heat absorbed. As the cone nears its maturing range, it softens and the tip begins to bend, drawn down by the influence of gravity.
Standard cone heating rate °C per...

Circular Kiln Shelves
Circular Kiln Shelves
For kilns. The lifespan of a kiln shelf depends mainly on the distance between the top edge of the item to be fired and the underside of the kiln shelf above. Generally there should be a distance of at least 25mm.

Liquid Brush Wax Emulsion Resist
Wax Resist (AKA Wax Emulsion) acts to repels glaze from the surface to which it is applied. As the kiln is fired the wax dissipates, leaving the surface beneath as it was prior to firing. It can be applied to unglazed greenware or bisque or it can be applied over previously applied, unfired color. It can be applied with a brush, sponge or spattered. Each method allows the artist to expand the options...
