Hey there! Let’s talk about something really cool in pottery: firing cones. When you make pottery, you have to put it in a kiln, which is like an oven that gets super hot. Firing cones help potters know when the clay and glazes are at the right temperature to melt and become strong.
Now, Cone 016 is a specific type of firing cone. It melts when the temperature reaches 1456 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s about 791 degrees Celsius). This temperature is important because it helps the clay change its shape and become durable, so we can use it for our bowls, plates, or whatever we create!
Here are 7 objects that could withstand the heat of Cone 016, meaning they are designed to be used or made at that same temperature:
- A ceramic coffee mug
- A clay flower pot
- A decorative tile
- A ceramic dish
- A sculpted figure
- A pottery vase
- A glazed bowl
Remember, every time you use your kiln and firing cones, you’re part of an amazing process that turns soft clay into strong, beautiful objects! Keep exploring the world of pottery, and you’ll create some amazing things! 🏺✨
