About The Ceramic Shop Bar Kiln Stilt 2' Or 5cm Long
The Ceramic Shop Bar Kiln Stilt, measuring 2 inches or 5 centimetres long, is a specialised tool used in ceramic firing to support and elevate ceramic pieces inside the kiln. This stilt is essential for ensuring that glazed pottery does not come into direct contact with the kiln shelf during firing, which can cause the glaze to fuse to the shelf, ruining both the piece and the kiln surface. The bar stilt is typically made from high-temperature resistant materials like ceramic or metal, allowing it to withstand the intense heat of kiln firings without warping or breaking.
This particular stilt is versatile and suitable for a variety of ceramic pieces, from small plates and tiles to other flat or slightly curved items. Its simple, bar-like shape provides stable support while minimising contact with the ceramic piece, reducing the risk of glaze flaws where the stilt touches. The Ceramic Shop Bar Kiln Stilt is an essential tool for both hobbyist and professional potters, helping them achieve clean, professional results by ensuring their work is safely and evenly fired without compromising the finish.
