Calcining bones to make ash for glazes!

Hey Everyone!! Welcome back to the High Country Art pottery homestead! So happy to have you here for my adventures. Last year I was working on developing a bone ash glaze. Which led me down a bit of a wormhole where I took deer bones I had harvested the year before, made broth to clean off the bones and then calcined them. Calcining basically helps break the bones done in order to get them to a nice powder. For this experiment I first used my electric kiln and then realized it was a very bad idea for my elements. So i switched over to my little rouge raku kiln, brought it up to 1000C and then proceeded to break down the bone afterwards into a fine powder. You can use this powder in anything that calls for bone ash just make sure to do sufficient testing with each new batch of bone. I still havent done any tests to see if different animal bones have different effects in glazes but I definitely want to try to see if it makes a difference. Let me know if you would be interested in a video on how to do triaxial line blends to do testing with glazes. Hope you enjoy this video!!
