The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes

The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes


99. Heat Work (+ Selling Your Glazes): “Heat plus things in physics…”

July 23, 2024

Lindsey and Donte do their best to define the tricky thing that is heatwork. What is it? What things affect it? Why is it making Lindsey crave cake? They also talk about a big business development for Donte.


Curious for more information? Check out Sue McLeod’s blog about heatwork and pyrometric cones and Glazy’s article about heatwork:

*CORRECTION*

In this episode, Donte and I talk about resources about heatwork on Digital Fire. While that website does have great information, the article that Lindsey read in preparation for this episode is actually on Glazy.org.
