I'm interested in playing with some of the metal clays (bronze and copper), so I've downloaded lots of info. The object is placed in a covered, enclosed stainless still firing pan. Within the pan, the piece is completely surrounded by activated carbon.

According to the info, it can be fired in a glass kiln.

If anyone here has experience with this, I will be most appreciative. I don't want to try this in my glass kiln if I'm going to cause contamination.

Thanks,
Colleen

Hi Colleen, I fire bronze, copper and silver clay in my kilns (paragon SC and GL 18) with no problems. I have a dedicated shelf for silver as had some discolouration on glass when it sat on the same spot as silver had been fired. For bronze and copper I use a ss bain marie dish with lid and activated coconut carbon.
