Hi Clayart friends: Has anyone tried firing a plate or tray proped up on
one end? I would like to match the effect of glazes running into one
another as they do on the side of a vase. I thought perhaps a plate with
no glaze on the edges could be fired on its side. Im wondering if there
would be much warpage at ^6. Any Ideas? Thanks

Yes, I have tipped plates to get the glaze to flow. However, I knew that
they would warp if not supported well so I made little wedge shaped ramps to
place under the plates to tilt them. They are about an inch and a half
across and about 1/2" - 3/4" high. They work great. I used a refractory
clay from Laguna to do this. I think the number was 2272 - it comes dry or
as a slip. I also made some little 12" square shelves with film canister
sized holes in them for the same purpose or for those times when I want to
get one more item in over a small, flat item. The holes were to reduce the
amount of refractory that was being used.

dont know about tilting the plate but you could try tilting the shelf
or if you have plate setters you could place the plate on one of those
and put some posts under one side to tilt it and the plate wouldnt warp
and you could get the effects with your glaze that you want ... just a
wild guess ... we do that with S spouts that we dont want to fall back
and hit the pot and it works so why not for glazes ??? of course I
dont know how much of a tilt you need but you could try this ..... cat

Can you use stilts? I don't, but my sister did all the time with her low
fire slip cast figurines. Anybody?
