Barrel Pottery Firing

[@janequenby8413]

Are the pots greenware or bisque fired first please?

@@janequenby8413 bisque fired first.

If you wanted these to hold water and the clay was mid range, could you glaze the interior and re fire? Or will that remove the beautiful work on the outside?

@@samanthamanalang3730 yes I am pretty sure it will be gone. You might try painting varnish on the inside to make it hold water but even that may distort the outside.

Does it matter to lite the barrel from the bottom, thru a vent, or from the top?

[@donhallworks]

I think the bottom is best but try it and let me know how you do.
