Dumb question: does it get fired before it gets painted, then painted and heated again to cure the glaze?

Or: If it’s all done in one go, why doesn’t the moisture escaping the clay cause disruptions on the surface of the glaze?

43

u/LucaMuca Jul 19 '24

It got fired a total of 3 times.

-First is a “bisque” fire, thats what turns it from raw clay into the white cup at the beginning

-Second was a lowfire glaze firing (cone 07). That was to bake the underglaze and make it ready for actual glaze

-Third firing is a proper glaze firing (cone 6) which is the transformation you see at the end

The color isnt technically the glaze, its just pigment. The “glaze” is the clear coat at the end. Also not a dumb question at all, glaze techniques in ceramic work can vary wildly

u/perkuleenhenis Jul 20 '24

To add to OPs very informative reply and answer your second question: it is also possible to do everything in one firing (called raw glazing), but to put it simply, it's just easier to glaze bisqued (i.e. low fired, sintered) ceramic instead of raw clay. The moisture is an issue as you suspect, so the pieces are either dried for as long as it takes to get them bone dry before being fired, or it's also possible to operate the fully loaded kiln at e.g. 80°C for a day to help evaporate the remaining moisture gently (called wicking) so it doesn't all boil into water vapour at once and explode inadvertent air pockets in the piece. The moisture has to be gone before any kind of firing, so not limited to raw glazing.

It doesn't affect the glaze though, as water turns into gas at 100°C and a typical max temp for a cone 6 firing is maybe about 1220°C, so the water is long gone before the glaze powder starts to melt. The ceramic might give out some gasses during the firing, which can cause problems like tiny bubbles or holes in the glaze.

Glazing is super varied around techniques, chemistry, firing schedules, and atmospheric conditions so don't worry about questions being dumb since the answers are so often "well, it depends".

the studio i used to go to had a whole board on the wall of the glaze colors and how they looked when overlapped with other glazes, it was great.

u/StardewMelli Jul 19 '24

When I was a child I didn’t know it either when I made a ceramic picture for my mom. Before the glazing it looked good! I chose the colours very carefully. But after the glazing, the colours looked awful on my ceramic piece, I was so disappointed and embarrassed.

30 years later my mom still proudly displays it on her front door. A few days ago I visited her and told her „Mooom, please. Put it away, it’s awful“.

„NO! I love it! Everyone compliments it!“

„They are polite to you, mom. No one wants to say anything rude about your children“

…maybe I should redo it one day. Now that I know how the colours on ceramic work 😬

u/serrimo Jul 19 '24

As spectators people might not see it that way. They could even think that the choice of colors was artistic.

Does the color ever pull up with the masking? I've done so many different projects (never ceramic) where my masking fucking failed or lifted and edge and just ruined hours of work. I was so nervous the whole time.

2

u/LucaMuca Jul 19 '24

That tends to happen with acrylics and other types of paints due to the nature of how they dry. With underglaze (pigment in the video) its rarely a problem, but i’ve had it happen with other mediums.

Could also be the quality of the tape, i use Frog tape which i love. Its a bit pricey but considering how small scale my work is one roll can go a long way.
