Yep, we use kiln wash on our advancer kiln shelves! Many don’t need to use it on advancer kiln shelves, but for our practices, we use it. Here is our recipe ⬇️ Ingredients: Alumina Hydrate: 50% Kaolin: 25% Calcined Kaolin: 25% Water: Equal parts to the dry ingredients Mixing: Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly. Gradually add water, stirring until a light cream or half-and-half consistency is achieved. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of clumps. Application: Apply 1-2 thin layers of kiln wash to the shelves, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. We spray it on for an even coating, but you could also paint it on.

I am so happy that I am now a part of Bainbridge Arts and Crafts family. They are having show in August "Birds and Their Abodes". I dropped off my Pair of Crows in Dray Grass Raku. I will post the other 4 posts during the week.

We hope you'll enjoy this short video about THE WHY behind giving to Bainbridge Arts & Crafts. Thanks to all who made the Rising Tide Auction such a successful online and live event, and thanks in advance to those who give as part of the Kitsap Great Give, which happens Tuesday April 16!
