Lisa, those are pretty!
OK, guys I have another question
If I make a smallish sculpture, not thick, kind of open and airy with boro and I go to put it in the annealer...well, I'm trying to wrap my brain around heat evenivity, non-thermal shockiness and things like that...would the small sculpture go right in the hot kiln or should it/can it be cooled and put in a cold kiln and sort of batch annealed?
To be more specific, what I've got an idea to make is a stand for some vessels, a top ring that's solid and a scallop/drape pattern that's open down from the ring. The solid ring probably wouldn't be more than 1" around and the whole thing tall wouldn't be more than 2". Do I just pop that puppy in the kiln when I'm done? If yes, does it get flashed first? Does that make any sense? This going back and forth with soft and hard glass is.....
