Thank you for watching our video on Pyrometric Cones.
Understanding Pottery is a video series in production by Washington Street Studios. The series is a digital textbook that will take the listener through the entire ceramic process from the raw material through the finished ceramic pieces. We’ve already published chapter one: What is Clay, chapter two: Clay Properties and Drying and Chapter three: Bisque Firing and Chapter four: Tips for Successful Glazing. This is chapter five: Pyrometric Cones.
In this video you will learn all you ever want to know about pyrometric cones. Phil answers these questions and more:
• Who invented Pyrometric Cones and when?
• What is their purpose?
• How do you use them?
• With kiln controllers now available, why do we need them?
