I heard that Robert Arneson fired his thick pieces over a four day
period.
That is all I can tell you. I never have fired anything that thick
myself.

All you experts I need your help. . .

If you were firing a load of stuff that was 2" thick, heavy
sculptures with groggy clay. . .

how would you fire it. . .

where would you hold at temperature. . . and for how long?

chemical water. . . .physical water. . .

the stuff has been drying for a year . . time to fire. . . .

ANY IDEAS??
