I am propping the kiln at 300 sometimes even 400 and opening up fully at 200. Yes Gary, 12 pounds each. They looked so lovely and large and then they shrink so much. I guess I just have to throw 20 pounds (ha!). No new tips for the Frost, I still use it for handbuilding and dry it as slowly as possible. I still lose a lot of ware to cracking. I think I need to live in a humid climate to have much success with it. I'll try to be more on the ball with posts but for a while it will be only one a week.Cheryl Alena Kinzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244573141082132147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482364789263448820.post-42253245781831912342008-10-29T06:28:00.000-06:002008-10-29T06:28:00.000-06:00Hi, this is in response to a slighty older post ab...Hi, this is in response to a slighty older post about the Frost clay. visually and tactiley, it is an absolutely beautiful clay. I do agree with the comments you have received though. It can be difficult to throw-throws unevenly-also, any attachments mike crack very easily on drying. I literally would have handle crack before my eyes if I removed the plastic for even a few minutes. If you learn any tricks using it, I'd be happy to know them, because I loved this clay.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547166972371240909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482364789263448820.post-4994044216561463222008-10-26T17:54:00.000-06:002008-10-26T17:54:00.000-06:00What temperature is your kiln when you are risking...What temperature is your kiln when you are risking taking the wares out, may I ask? Love the look of those colors in the kiln - the lime and the red.<BR/><BR/>What beautiful bowls, love the shape of them.
