Im unsure as how to fire a sculptural fish. I have left a 3/8" dia.
vertical opening in the bottom under the fin for a removable vertical post,
stilt or a bead post. I have considered a ceramic post, stainless steel or
nichrome post in a base of clay or porcelain. I fire to cone 6. Should I
use a cone 10 porcelain to form the base for the vertical nail (stainless
ceramic or nichrome) to balance the fish. I don't think it would look good
with a trimmed ring foot.
Thanks
