About The Ceramic Shop Bar Kiln Stilt 4' Or 9.5 Cm Long
The Ceramic Shop Bar Kiln Stilt, measuring 4 inches or 9.5 centimetres long, is a crucial tool used in the ceramic firing process to support and elevate larger ceramic pieces inside the kiln. This longer stilt is designed to accommodate bigger or more elongated items, such as larger tiles, platters, or wide bowls, ensuring they do not come into direct contact with the kiln shelf during firing. Made from high-temperature resistant materials, typically ceramic or metal, this stilt can withstand the intense heat of the kiln without deforming, ensuring that the ceramic pieces it supports are fired evenly and without damage.
This 4-inch bar stilt offers stability and minimises the points of contact with the ceramic piece, which is essential for reducing the risk of glaze imperfections where the stilt touches the item. By elevating the work off the kiln shelf, it also prevents the glaze from fusing to the shelf, protecting both the artwork and the kiln. The Ceramic Shop Bar Kiln Stilt 4' is an indispensable tool for both amateur and professional ceramicists, particularly those working with larger or heavier pieces, providing the necessary support for a successful and clean firing process.
