Alright, imagine you’re a wizard in the world of pottery, where you can shape clay into beautiful objects! Now, to make those objects shiny and colorful after you bake them in a super hot oven (or kiln), we use something called glaze.
Wood ash glaze is a special kind of glaze made from the ashes of burned wood. When you mix this ash with a few other ingredients, it turns into a liquid that can coat your pottery. When you heat it up to really high temperatures (like Cone 9, which is about 2,350°F or 1,300°C), the glaze melts and creates a smooth, shiny surface that makes your pottery look fantastic!
Using wood ash glaze can give your pottery unique patterns and colors because the materials in the ash change depending on what kind of wood you used. So, you can make all sorts of cool shapes and designs!
Here are 7 pottery objects that would fit the “Wood Ash Glaze (Cone 9 to °F)” description:
- A cereal bowl with a glossy finish.
- A coffee mug with a swirling pattern.
- A flower vase that sparkles in the light.
- A plate for serving food that’s decorated with ash glazes.
- A sculpture shaped like an animal, shiny and colorful.
- A small pot for holding plants.
- A decorative tile for the wall.
These objects would be even more special because they would look great and be strong, thanks to that amazing wood ash glaze!
