Wanneer Mars Red Iron regulier gestookt wordt, is het diepbruinrood, vergelijkbaar met verzadigd ijzer. Hoe langzamer het wordt afgekoeld, hoe intensiever het zal worden.
De Constellations zijn de eerste lijn van glazuren die ontworpen zijn om te schitteren in zowel reguliere als langzaam gekoelde ovens. De dikte, de baktemperatuur en vooral de koelsnelheid kunnen deze glazuren beïnvloeden, waardoor ze nooit twee keer hetzelfde zijn.
When fired in a regular cycle, the Mars Red Iron is a deep brownish red, similar to Saturated Iron. The slower it is cooled, the more intense it will become.
The Constellations are the first line of glazes designed to shine in both regular and slow-cooled firings. Thickness, firing temperature, and especially cooling speed can affect these glazes, ensuring they are never the same twice.
Fired |
Every kiln and firing is different. It is best to use witness cones in every firing.
Coyote glazes are designed to be fired between witness cone 5 and witness cone 6. Cone readings are a combintation of time and temperature, and do not correspond directly to any specific temp in degrees. Most digitally controlled kilns have a pre-programmed cone fire setting that will allow you to reach the proper temperature with minimal fussing (we use a cone 5, fast, with 30 minute hold.) For manual (sitter) kilns we recommend using a 6 cone. Thermocouples and other electronic measuring devices are prone to error and degrade over time. The only way to be certain that your kiln is firing to the right temperature is to use witness cones every time you fire your kiln. |
