Clay Check List:
1. Ram’s Head Knead and Wedge any clay
before using it in construction.
2. Score and add slip to any connections
between pieces of clay.
3. Make sure the wall thickness of a
piece is consistently even throughout the entire piece so it may dry evenly.
4. Seal or cover unfinished projects in
plastic to stop or slow the drying process in order to preserve plasticity.
5. Constantly monitor the overall
moisture content of the piece. Too much
moisture and the piece will not hold shape, too little and it hardens past a
workable state.
6. Do not handle or move others work
unless asked to.
7. Wash bisque fired work prior to
glazing.
8. Allow each layer of glaze to dry
before adding another.
9. Follow the recommended number of
coats for glaze.
10. Be aware of glaze verses under
glaze.
11. Do not glaze the bottom of a piece.
