So I've had this idea for a while and I'm testing it right now. I make art as a sort of living right now and with that I often work in clay or ceramic material. Try to imagine this as I can understand it may not be easy to picture if you've never worked in these materials.
Information: After making a clay peice it is bisque fired to about 1800 degrees, changing the properties to a stone like feeling and removing all moisture out of the clay. After this stage it is often fired again with some sort of glaze or engobe to a temp. as high as 2800degrees.
Idea: I have many handmade jars with lids that are only bisque fired. These pots will still absorb moisture. I am hanging a good size fresh cut nug in a jar with a lid and so far it is drying at a good pace and not holding all its moisture even though it is in a closed jar.
I just thought that up and decided to try it. I would like to hear some opinions of what other people may think about this or if anyone has ever done this. Sorry if it was kinda choppy.
