From the Pet Crematorium? From the place where we owners of deceased pets
pay mucho dollars to have our pets cremated and their ashes returned to us?
Ouch! Oh, well........ such is the way of our mercenary world.

I found some bones in the woods from a dead animal, kind of sad i know, but
i was thinking maybe i could at least use the bones for a glaze. Does anyone
know the process of making bone ash, and can it be done from any kind of
animal bones?
My thought was to bisque them in a clay pot. Please let me know if anyone
has done this before. Thanks.

Paul,
You've about got it; bisque 'em and then grind 'em. I got a big bag o'
crushed bones from the pet crematorium several years ago. Din't have to
crush 'em; there was enough dust in the bag w/ the bones when sifted thru
sieve 80m to fill a gatorade carton. :)

Bone ash can be made from any bones.
Just put them in a saggar or similar and kiln to 1100 degrees C.
That is what a pet crematorium near me does and I then use the ash in glazes
to give strength.
A few old pots with lids, seconds, are very useful to have near the kiln for
just this kind of purpose.
Some are used for "silver" paper (tinfoil) to give alumina for use in making
a bat wash and for adding to clay for making balls to keep bottoms off the
kiln shelf. Sometimes these second casserole dishes contain quantities of a
herb or other plant, to see what they will do as an addition to raw clay
tile samples.

More likely from one used by your local Animal
Control Authority (dog pound) to dispose of
roadkill and euthanasia cases. (Might even be
the same one.) Give the poor critters a chance
at immortality, as art!

This guy is the only crematorium in the area; he does all the cremation for
the dog pound, so I got some of their bones.

My comment was part serious but part joking- most of us owners of
deceased/cremated pets wonder if we're really getting their remains or
???????
