wht happens to the piece if u don't get fire enough? and how do i know if its been fired enough? also how do I know the piece is fully dried? thanks, great videos...

@00honey000 If you don't fire the clay enough it will be very brittle. If you are torch firing, the piece should be “glowing red’ and if you are kiln firing, just rely on the firing schedule which is included in the packet. When the clay is fully dried it will turn a lighter shade of gray.

Where can a person buy the Kiln Brick?

@hannekebb. You can purchase a kiln brick or "fire brick" from us, Delphi Glass.
