clay and oil on fire - porosity

<< < (2/3) > >>

GlisGlis:
thankyou all for your replys
@nclonghunter yes after firing it sounds good. Did not know the burnishing technique and i'll apply on pot with enoug big entrances.

@pat  are there glazes usable on diy fires or ovens? kinda primitive? or i need to use a high heat 'modern' oven?

@DC thanks in fact I should refere to it as terracotta

@yes Zuma thankyou for the reference. I also have an idea to reproduce a water container made from ages in Sicily (Italy) named Bummolo that uses the same principle. let evaporate some water to lower the temperature

I may try the wax proofing. Do you know of any interaction oil / wax (like oil dissolving wax or making poisonous gas?  :D)

Pat B:
I think glazes are high fire.

mullet:
I think if you apply wax you will just end up burning it as a fuel also.

Zuma:
I did one of my pit reduction fired pots
with an external burnish. It has no liquid
transfer from the inside.
You might give that a try.
Now I am not sure how much the reduction
plays a part though.

yes I see.It could work to burnish only the outside
how exactly is achieved pit reduction fire? sand covered pots and fire on top?
