Step-by-Step Rolling Coils 1. With cutoff tool, cut clay into 1" square strips the size of a stick of butter. 2. Mold clay with hands into an oblong shape rounding off the square edges. 3. Place oblong shape on a flat surface and gently roll clay back and forth with the palm of hands to create a rounded coil. 4. Keep rolling coil until it is an even 1/2" thick in diameter from end to end. Note: Pushing too hard may flatten coil. If this happens, gently roll on flat area to reshape coil. Ideal coils are uniform in diameter.

Small Coil Tray / Coil Pot Base 1. Score then paint on connecting edges of coil and tightly spiral clay into a circle so that no space or gaps appear between coils. 2. To make tray or base larger, add coils by placing one diagonal cut coil end next to another and wet with slip. When desired length is reached, cut remaining loose coil from the base. Tray Handles 1. Cut two identically sized coils to form handles; cut ends of coils diagonally. 2. Place handles on opposite ends of the tray and connect Artist: Leslie Allen, Age 10 edges by scoring and painting with slip.

Choosing and Using Cones The Duncan Ceramic products in the color guide fire from cone 06, 1828° F to cone 6, 2246° F. Ceramic firing is similar to baking in an oven with much hotter temperatures. Since hot ceramic kilns cannot be safely opened during firing, pyrometric cones are used to measure the heat absorbed by the ware. Pyrometric cones are numbered to correspond to a desired cone firing level – the lower Unloading Kiln the cone number, the cooler the firing. Pyrometic self-supporting • Open kiln when cool to touch A proper firing will cause the cone to bend at an even 90° angle. shelf cone • Remove pieces only when cool to touch • Grind off stilt marks with stilt stone or dremel tool Too close Proper Important: wear eye protection. distance

Self-supporting cones with desired cone number are placed on each kiln shelf before firing. Since cones bend over during firing to indicate heat absorbed, it is important to keep them at a safe distance from the ceramic piece in kiln

Small bar cones are used in a kiln-sitter. A kiln-sitter is an automatic mechanical device that shuts off the kiln when the cone bends due to the desired absorption of heat.
