[Clayart] advice on bisque firing

[Antoinette Badenhorst]

Hi Carol, nothing other than slow through the silica conversion periods as it goes up. Beware at 220 C (can you convert; I am not at my computer) and 573 C 
Build a soak in at the top, to make sure all organics burn out. 

Best wishes,
Antoinette Badenhorst
