I would love to know how can I do bloating where and when I want
I am mostly making beads; I am using cone 6 commercial porcelain clays
colourful Chinese low fire glazes
First I fire to cone six ;glazed beads (not 06 and not bisquing) than I put more glazes usually different colour where it was not enough glaze or if the glaze pulled away or if I do not like it
If I like the bead as it is; I keep it.
Sometime some of the beads come out really ugly I hit it with the dremel tool sander and it comes up interesting connecting holes on the surface
That what I would love to make , but when and where I want
Any ideas?
Thanks Vera

Fast firing is one way to get bloating. I experimented with
self-supporting witness cones inside the Paragon QuikFire
kiln, which reaches 1200 degrees F in about 10 minutes. The
cones did not bend; they bloated.
