There are two types of cones:
- a) Small cones that are used in manual kilns. They are placed between a device called a kiln sitter, when they have melted or deformed the kiln shuts off.
- b) Large cones also known as witness cones are used in automatic computerized kilns. As the kiln is automatic they are used to check how the kiln has fired once opened, signalling any problems.
There are endless tools used in completing a ceramic project, including:
- Brushes
- sponge
- decals
- stamps
- stencils
- kiln
- etc.
The difference between glaze and food-safe glaze is that glaze is used on anything other than surfaces that come in contact with food or drink, and food-safe glaze can be used on any dinnerware, such as mugs, bowls, plates, serving dishes, etc.
Regular glaze contains lead and some toxins. Food-safe glaze is completely lead-free and non-toxic.
Go find a ceramic studio and get creating. Most importantly, have fun!
Note: Candidate need not do the firing.
