Firing Beads on Rods - Kiln Demo

I have had a lot of people ask me, "How do you fire those beads?"  I have decided it would be good to post a picture of how I do this.

The glaze is only on the outside of the bead. If I dipped the entire bead into the glaze, it would fire and become hard like glass and not come off of the rod. So each bead has the glaze brushed onto it individually.

I have found a webpage that shows what these look like stacked up in a kiln (CLICK HERE).

Thanks for stopping by!

    It seems you blog is back in business, Natalie? I saw your FB post about issues. I hadn't received notifications and suddenly there were 13 new posts from you on my blog feed. This is good ;)

    I brush on my sealants with polymer clay and metals too. I quick dunk would sure be easier! Thanks for sharing these photos, Natalie! -Sharyl
