Week 4 Readings

2. Kilns and firing: what changes colour and surface results

2.1. 2-minute Practice: Cause-and-effect

Complete these two lines with your best hypothesis:

  1. If glaze is thicker in recesses, I might observe…

  2. If firing is uneven, I might observe…

REVEAL (Example):

1. If glaze is thicker in recesses, I might observe darker colour pooling, stronger gloss, or more running in those areas.

2. If firing is uneven, I might observe patchy colour, uneven gloss, or differences between one side and another.

Bias-check line (optional): “I would need more context (kiln type, glaze recipe, firing schedule) to confirm.”
