MORE ABOUT TROUBLESHOOTING
CERAMIC PROBLEMS

1) We provide many firing tip brochures from Orton in

the pdf library on our website. For a more in depth

explanation Orton has a great booklet called Successful

Firing Practices. They also have a number of other booklets

available such as Cones and Firing (20 pages), Using

Orton Cones/Temperature Charts, Kiln Safety Booklet, Kiln-

Sitter Maintenance & Repair and Porcelain Firing Guide.

Contact Orton at 614-895-2663 for more information. See

ortonceramic.com for lots of very helpful information on how

to use cones and for many firing tips and great information

on firing kilns.
2) Check out a book called Electric Kiln Ceramics written

by Richard Zakin, a book called What Every Potter Should

Know by Jeff Zamek and Mastering Cone 6 Glazes by

Ron Roy and John Hesselberth. Check out a book called

“Ceramic Faults and their remedies” by Harry Fraser,

A&C Black, London.

4) The magazines Ceramics Monthly (

ceramicsmonthly.

org

) and Clay Times (claytimes.com) have many good

articals and resources.
5) Also check out the great web resource, the Clayart

discussion group at

potters.org

6) Check the links page on our web site.
7) Your ceramic supplier is a good source of knowledge and

will have a wide variety of helpful books and videos as well
