Cone 017 = 1377°F (747°C)

Hey there! 😊 Let’s talk about pottery and something called Cone 017. When we make pottery, we use a process called firing. This means we heat our clay creations in a special oven called a kiln. The heat changes the clay into something hard and beautiful, like a cup or a plate!

Now, Cone 017 is a special number that tells us how hot we need to heat the clay to get it to the right strength and finish. When the kiln reaches 1377°F (that’s about 747°C), it becomes just warm enough to change the clay.

Think of it like cooking a cake: if you don’t bake it long enough or at the right temperature, it won’t turn out right. Similarly, if the kiln doesn’t get to Cone 017, the pottery won’t be strong or might break easily.

So, whenever we refer to Cone 017, it’s like using a magic key that unlocks the potential of our clay creations.

Here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to the measurements provided for Cone 017:

  1. A ceramic mug
  2. A decorative bowl
  3. A tile for the bathroom
  4. A cookie plate
  5. A flower pot
  6. A dinner plate
  7. A small vase

These items can all be made from clay that has been fired at the temperature of 1377°F (or 747°C) to ensure they are strong and ready to use! Happy potting! 🎨✨
