about squeezing a metal plate between two layers of ceramic…?
is it possible to stick a metal sheet on a ceramic before it is kilned and later cover it again with ceramic to hide the sheet? in other words, can i glue a metal plate on my old ceramic vase and cover it with ceramic paste again? Can I prevent the shrinking of the fresh clay by just bisque firing, or leaving it under sunlight instead of kilning, will it help if I wax the old ceramic before putting on the second layer?
i need to hide the metal sheet in two layers, it’s a kind of school project so ANY COMMENTS or DIFFERENT IDEAS ARE WELCOME.
thanks
Let me say that if what you want to do is possible you will have to do it at low temperatures. Because you don’t have specifics on what is the old piece, high fire or low, and does it have glaze etc. on it; what kind of metal are you wanting to use, and what kind of clay you are using on the new piece, it’s hard to give advice. Do you have to use metal to adhere the pieces for the project? Do you have to use old piece? If you are just trying to hide the pieces in the middle of two layers of ceramics it would probably be easier to use to new pieces, so you don’t have a uncertain outcome on the old piece and can test on a few different ones to get the best try, instead of having just one shot to get it right. Also if you started out with two new pieces instead of an old one, the blank areas that would be touching the metal may adhere better (assuming you have glazed the old one) to the melted metal. I have attached two links that could help finding the melting points of different metals, and then finding the cones that you need to fire at. Have fun.
