Hey there! Let’s talk about something really cool in pottery—the high-fire stoneware range! When we say “high-fire,” we mean that we are firing the clay at a very high temperature. In pottery, we use something called a cone to tell us about the heat. For our discussion, we’re focusing on Cone 9, which means the

0.33 liters (L) to cups (US)
Alright young potter! Let’s talk about measuring liquids, which is really important when you’re mixing different materials for your pottery projects! Liters are a unit we use to measure liquids, and when you’re working with different recipes, it’s sometimes helpful to change these measurements into something else. In the United States, we often use cups
Burnishing Stage (350°C to °F)
When you’re making pottery, there’s an important process called burnishing. This happens when the clay is heated to 350 degrees Celsius. This temperature is really hot, and it helps make the surface of the clay smooth and shiny. Now, to understand how hot 350°C is, we can change it into Fahrenheit using a special equation:
45 milliliters (mL) to fluid ounces (fl oz)
Hey there, young potter! Today, we are going to learn how to change milliliters (mL) into fluid ounces (fl oz). This is really important, especially when you’re mixing your clay or measuring out your glaze! Understanding the Measurement Milliliters are a small unit of measurement, often used in cooking or mixing. It’s kind of like
9 fluid ounces (fl oz) to milliliters (mL)
Hey there! Today we’re going to learn about measurements. When you’re doing pottery, you often use different amounts of liquids, like water or glue. But sometimes, we need to change how we measure them! That’s where ounces and milliliters come in. Fluid ounces (fl oz) and milliliters (mL) are both ways to measure liquids. In
1.25 Quarts to Gallons (US)
Hey there, future potter! 🌟 Today, we’re going to learn how to change quarts into gallons. Think of quarts and gallons as different ways to measure liquid, just like measuring clay for your pottery! A quart is a container that can hold a specific amount of liquid, and one gallon is made up of a
Matte glaze reoxidation (Cone 5 to °F)
Okay! So let’s dive into the fun world of pottery. When someone creates pottery—like vases, bowls, or mugs—they often coat their creations with something called glaze. This glaze is like a shiny paint that makes the pottery look beautiful and protects it. Now, let’s talk about matte glaze. You know how some things are shiny
Cone 022 = 1112°F (600°C)
Hey there, future potter! 🌟 Today, we’re going to dive into something really cool about pottery called cones. Think of cones as special little tools that help us know how hot to make the kiln when we’re firing our clay creations. When we say Cone 022, it means we’re aiming for a temperature of 1112°F
Cone 021 = 1143°F (617°C)
Hey there, young potter! Today, we’re going to talk about something super important in the world of pottery: cone temperatures. You see, when we make pottery, we need to heat our clay and glaze to the right temperature so they can turn into beautiful, strong pieces. One of the special markers we use is called
Cone 020 = 1180°F (638°C)
Hey there, young potter! Let’s dive into some cool science behind your pottery work! When you make pottery, you use something called kilns, which are like big ovens that help make your clay creations hard and ready for use. Now, every pottery piece needs a special kind of heat to turn out just right. That’s
