Bisquing Plates and Bowls

Here are some plates and bowls I made placed in the kiln and ready to be bisqued.




I am using a slow firing schedule that is fired using 5 ramps. Each ramp slowly preheats the kiln to avoid reaching the boiling temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit to quickly.

During the first of the five ramps, I take the kiln to 150 degrees at 80 degrees an hour and hold for four hours. This should ensure that the wetter pieces in the kiln dry out enough before the kiln reaches it's highest temperature of 1957 degrees.
