graphite in the kiln

[heartandsoulstudios]

I got some fun shapes of graphite off eBay, and I did try them in the kiln. I took a very interesting piece out of the kiln, but the smell was INTENSE. I wouldn’t do it again with the kiln in the house, but *maybe* in a VERY WELL VENTILATED area.

Although the pieces of graphite I used were somewhat “fragile”, they lasted though a firing (pot melt temp) quite nicely.
