IronGoober | Experiments with firing clay glandes in a microwave @IronGoober | Uploaded 3 weeks ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Experimenting with using a microwave kiln to make fired clay glandes in the microwave in under 2 hours with commercially available clay. (Terracotta)
Total energy cost is around 2 - 3 kWh. The clay was fired at a temperature higher than recommended (1150°C) which is likely why they were shiny and looked glazed.
