FAQ
The process of how to fire your clay work
For something made in the studio
" The firing price list is on the website, please check the price depending on the clay work size then decide which ones you want to fire, which one you want to take home. the clay work can be stored in the studio one month after made maximumly. After one month will be discarded if nobody collected them.
The price depends on the size before first fire, the size measurements will do before firing. Please be noticed that there is 10-16% shrinkage for each fire depending on different clay. You are welcome to come and watching the technician measure the clay work BEFORE the first fire. After the payment and the signed declaration arrived the technician will fire the clay works. No refund available by any reason after fire.
There are twice fire for each art work. First bisque fire, second time glaze fire. The price is for one fire only. We will not measure again before glaze fire.
The finished artwork can be stored in Lalita's studio two months maximumly. After two months the artwork will be discarded if nobody collect them. Please remember to take your artwork home after the firing.
Thanks for your understanding.
However for fire the clay work from outside my studio is a bit complicated process. Only because it's an unknown clay, you will need to find the original clay bag or instruction book to show how high degree of the kiln will suit the clay. As different clay needs different temperature. Or cone range ( how fast the temperature increase). Wrong temperature can cause problems. Also we need to use the same clay to do a test fire before your artwork. Sometimes maybe ok, but sometimes the results shows that my kiln cannot fire some clay. ( also the cone range is important)You have to take the risk by yourself. Even the test or the fire failed you still need to pay the firing fee. Also depends on the artwork as well. Some people do a big solid sculpture, that can not be fired at all. If it's a sculpture need to be hollow/ air-corn one. I need to see the clay work in different case to know we can fire or not. So fire some clay work which made outside of my studio Can be a bit complicated.
What is the basic process of a ceramic piece?
hire a wheel---wheel throwing (make the clay body)---dry few days---first fire( bisque fire)----glaze or /under glaze( draw on the ceramic)--dry few days----second time glaze fire----done
Thanks
常见问题
烧制粘土工作的过程是什么样的?有什么注意的?
对于在工作室制作的东西 “烧制价格表在网站上,请根据陶土的大小检查价格,然后确定要烧制的,要带回家的。陶土可以在制作后一个月存储在工作室中如果没有人收集,一个月后将被丢弃。
价格取决于首次烧窑前的尺寸,尺寸会在射击前进行。请注意,根据不同的粘土,每种泥土都有10-16%的收缩率。欢迎您前来观看技术人员在第一次烧制之前测量粘土工作的情况。付款和签署的声明到达后,技术人员将烧制粘土工程。烧制后,由于任何原因无法退款。
每件艺术品都有两次窑烧。第一次素烧,第二次上釉火。网站上指示价格仅为一次烧制费用。
上釉之前我们不会再测量。 完成的艺术品最多可以在Lalita的工作室中存放两个月。两个月后,如果没人收集,艺术品将被丢弃。完成后请记得带回家。 谢谢你的理解。
但是对于在我工作室外面制作的胚体烧制有点复杂。仅因为它是未知的粘土,您才需要找到原始的粘土袋或说明手册,以显示窑炉适合该粘土的温度说明带过来。由于不同的粘土需要不同的温度。或曲线值(温度升高的速度)。错误的温度可能会导致问题。我们还需要在使用艺术品之前使用相同的粘土进行测试。有时也许还可以,但有时结果表明我的窑炉不能烧一些粘土。 (曲线也很重要)您必须自己承担风险。即使测试或烧制失败,您仍然需要支付烧制费。
也取决于艺术品。有些人做一个大型的固体实心雕塑,根本无法烧制。如果是雕塑,则必须是空心/空心的。我需要在不同情况下查看黏土作品的工作情况,才能知道我们能为您否烧制。因此,在我的工作室之外进行的一些黏土工作可能会有些复杂。
陶瓷片的基本工艺是什么?
雇一个拉胚机-拉胚(或者制作手作粘土泥胚)-------几天干燥-----第一次入窑炉烧制(素烧)----上釉或釉下彩(彩绘,覆盖透明釉料)-几天干燥---第二次釉火----完成
谢谢
