Episode 109: How to Fire an Electric Pottery Kiln

Join me for the final episode in the making a raw-glazed mug on the potter’s wheel series!

In this episode we’ll be talking about how to fire an electric pottery kiln. We’ll discuss the stoneware glaze kiln firing schedule, including ramp speed and soak time at the maximum temperature of 1260 °C.

I talk about how long a stoneware glaze firing takes and talk about different stages of the kiln firing process and what I do at each stage.

At the end of the episode, we’ll make a well-earned cup of tea in our finished mug!!

Thank you so much for joining me for this series, it's been so much fun creating it and sharing it with you 💖
