How to Stilt a Hanging Cone Vase (#637)

 

Collect Materials:

4 – ½  inch stilts

3 – 4 inch metal rods

Bead and Hole Reamer (8915)

Thinfire Paper (ST-540)

 

 

Step 1  Arrange Stilts as shown below on on your kiln shelf or portable work space such as an 8 inch tile.  We suggest using a sheet of Thinfire Paper to protect your kiln shelf.

 

Step 2 –   Thread rods through holes in Cone Vase.  Place cone on stilts.  If the piece is painted prior to firing, use a Bead and Hole Reamer to thoroughly clean out the holes.  If glaze is in the holes, it will stick to the rods.

 

Step 3 – Fire as normal!
