Okay–this batch had sooo many colors–and the last batch, if you look for the yellowish oval piece towards the left corner, almost all came out goldish. I have been packing the container, layering charcoal over the pieces until I have the container filled to the brim. This time I inverted the lid, to make more of a seal, so to speak, and wow–the colors!! The dusty blues are awesome!! You can see some of the fired pieces from the sunshine drying photo below in the older post.

Colorful bronze clay

On a hot sunny Denver day, temperature about 90 degrees, my drying method has been to set the bronze clay pieces out in the sun to dry. It’s really fast, if you turn the pieces occasionally. Hockey puck on the left, jar lid on the right, the black attracts the heat.
