Hey, Great question. Bisque firing refers to the practice of an initial firing of the ware in a kiln to make it impervious to water. It makes the piece absorbent for glazing which we apply and fire in a “glaze firing” to a higher temperature. The cones we speak of are Pyrometric Cones that melt at specific temperatures. Cone 04 is roughly 1945 degrees Fahrenheit.

I believe it was just over 24 hours. You will want to monitor it because drying times will vary based on the humidity and dryness of the studio climate. Let us know if you try this technique, and how it goes for you! Happy making!
Great question! You could fire these pieces in any ceramic kiln. We prefer our trusty Bailey Kilns or for a smaller option a Paragon Caldera Test Kiln.

Thanks so much! This isn't air dry clay. It's a mid-range porcelain called "Tucker's Bright White". You can find links to the products used at the very bottom of our blog post page: www.baileypottery.com/blog/post/create-ceramic-beads.html
Your videos are amazing. You do a great job of covering all the key steps, without any extra fluff. Exactly what I was looking for as a beginner on my wheel throwing journey. Thank you so much.
Hello! That would be Mid Smooth Stone by Tuckers'. You can find the products used here at the bottom of our blog post: www.baileypottery.com/blog/post/handbuild-a-fairy-house.html
Hi Debbie! Thanks for asking. Because the wheel is in the round, I think this technique works best for round forms. However, slabs of clay can be draped onto the square forms. You can see the variety of slab molds we offer here: www.baileypottery.com/store-dept-pottery-ceramic-tools/store-handbuilding-sculpture-tools/store-handbuilding-sculpture-tools-slab-and-tools.html
Great question! "Underglazes - Underglazes are used in pottery to create designs and patterns that will come up through the glaze covering them, which can give the surface more visual depth and character. They are applied to a greenware or bisque surface, then covered with a glaze. Commercial underglazes are formulated so they stay where they are and don't tend to bleed or move."

Thanks for your interest. We don't sell the actual beads. The tutorial is to show how one can create ceramic beads with the ceramic tools and equipment that we sell at Bailey. Hope you have a wonderful day!
