Brian... re: slow ramp n multi-soaks... the fun part of "high-fire" is that each one is an experiment -- at least that's true so far for me. And so far, I ramp up AFAP, and lay up the glass to to get lotsa air mixed in because it helps drag the glass around with it. That said... slow ramp/...

For 90 coe like Bullseye: high is 1700... especially with a long soak . B.E. is guaranteed compatible for (check this out, because I don't remember this exactly without looking it up) 3 firings up to something like 1550?? (Somebody correct me, please!). In any case, nothing like a long soak at 1700....

Avoid the thinfire. It's too lightweight, & the glass'll push it & shred it.
Let us know how it goes with the mold.

oops, can't do "no message" posts anymore...

Ron, it's so lovely! If you made it freestanding on the shelf... was your process similar to making, say, a large & wide bracelet (looking at the opening) with a lid & floor?
Love it.

hi Amy... My immediate reaction is that every class & instructor is different. In our case, for example (and I don't speak for Jack!), it probably could be done because the coldworking equipment is in a totally separate room... But it's hypothetical. etc. etc. etc.
