What cone are you firing this and does medium firing work? I did 05 cone, medium firing up tp 1800 F two layers of colorobbia glaze and it is melting, dripping. What am I doing wrong?
@HobbyCeramicraft2 ай бұрын
The terra bella glazes prefer a slightly lower temp, try a cone 06. The speed is less of an issue. Also, they are glazes in their own right, so do not need any glaze on top.

@HobbyCeramicraft2 ай бұрын
Yes you can!
@jeanettesherratt12763 ай бұрын
That was very simple to understand. Not yet slip cast, but have just ordered my first mug mould. When do you take off the lines on the clay.
@HobbyCeramicraft3 ай бұрын
I like to do that when the clay is leather hard. If you leave until dry then you will make a bit of dust, so do when the item is still a bit damp and the clay flecks will drop off in chunks.
@kawaiiluvlis58054 ай бұрын
Do you know what cause the kiln power fail?
@HobbyCeramicraft3 ай бұрын
Not really, there could be many reasons.. Check the power from the fuse board is all good, then investigate into the kiln. If no power at the board, it is unlikely a component issue in the chamber.. check fuses in the kiln which are protecting the computer.. or maybe the computer itself..

Will this process work with clay that was not originally made for splicasting? I reclaaim all my clay from throwing and what not and I am wondering if I could try out slipcasting by using those leftovers for starters by just buying a 10 euro bottle of sodium silicate...
@HobbyCeramicraft4 ай бұрын
I also make slip from regular wet clay. Oddly, making slip from blocks of wet clay is not as simple as from dry.. you have to really mix and mix to break down the chunks of clay to get a slurry.
@Premises2255 ай бұрын
Have you ever used sodium dispex? I was pushed towards it more but seems to be lacking a bit for me
@HobbyCeramicraft5 ай бұрын
I find sodium silicate works more effectively. The dispex is a blend of sodium silicate and soda ash, which balances the deflocculation preventing a cast being too brittle with sodium silicate alone.

Fire slowly though.. there's a lot of mass in that shape and needs even heating... (We've made a few.. cracked a few in firing them too!)

I'm new to the ceramics world, my mom and I got lucky and bought a ton of molds and a kiln as well as paints and I believe pre-mixed slip? It came in jugs, and so I am a bit concerned for creating a proper consistency. I don't have a fancy mixer set up, is there a way to mix slip by hand and then determine if it's appropriate consistency for use within the molds? I don't imagine the jugs of clay and water will have gone bad, it's just clay and water after all, but I do imagine we will have to spend some time on properly mixing it and playing around with pouring it into the molds by hand as well as experimenting with how long each mold takes to set. I believe all our molds are plaster, and I anticipated that they'd take days to set so learning it could be on a timeline more so of hours was quite the shock. I have no idea how low to let the slip go for most of them, and the fellow who sold it to us never quite hammered out the specifics himself. We also have no idea what the type of clay in mixture was used, but I hate to let so many jugs go to waste so we'll use them to practice before making better pieces. Thank you for your video! It has been very helpful.

@HobbyCeramicraft How hard would it be to create a glazed white ceramic rectangular vessel sink for a bathroom vanity? The only people on youtube creating such sinks use concrete, so I'm guessing it's a challenging process without factory equipment..?
@HobbyCeramicraft8 ай бұрын
Well.. i think durability too perhaps. Making a rectangular vessel in ceramics is not going to be particularly easy anyway.. the clay needs to dry at an even rate and fire at an even rate, which on a square or rectangular piece can be more challenging. This will also require a decent sized kiln to fire it in, which limits who could make it.. so, yes I guess.. makes concrete perhaps look easier...

Are your moulds dry? A wet mould can cause air bubbles in cast items. Check your s.g. is low enough and don't be afraid to use deflocculant to dcrease the viscosity.

To make a casting mould you really need to use plaster in order to absorb the water from the clay which creates a clay lining. Ceramic would not work in the same way.
