Dear Susan:
I make life size clay figures and fire them using a controller in an
electric kiln. I wrote an article for the Minnesota Clay Newsletter in
December of 1998 discussing my methods for firing large scale work. If you
are interested in looking at it contact:
Bob Stryker at mnclayus@mm.com
I would add that I fire down and during the average glaze fire for large
scale works. I fire up at 80-100 degrees and hour and down at 100-120
degrees an hour.

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
This question is for anyone doing large scale sculpture and electric firing.
I am glaze firing for the first time in a new oval kiln with an
Orton Unitemp controller. I have done a number of bisques,
and programmed a very slow schedule that works. I would like to
hear from anyone who does large sculptural work and has a
schedule for low-fire glaze firing and slow cooling. Also, is
there anything published that discusses firing with controllers?
Thanks,
Susan Schultz
