A U.S. Ceramic Artist's Honest Review – After 15 Firings
"I am absolutely thrilled with these shelves!"
This is the genuine feedback from James, a ceramic artist in the United States. He tested our NSiC advanced ceramic kiln shelves in both electric and soda kilns and shared his detailed experience.
About the Non-Stick Surface Wear
"I am noticing that the non-stick surface is wearing down ever so slightly. I kind of expected this, as Advancer shelves do the same over time. It's probably due to the high amount of flux in my clay. I'll probably have to add a thin layer of kiln wash eventually to prevent plucking."
This is normal wear and tear and does not affect the overall lifespan or performance of the shelves.
Three Biggest Surprises
-
Lightweight
"The lightness has eased the burden on my back when loading the kiln."
-
Thinness & Higher Loading Capacity
"I'm constantly shocked at how much I'm fitting into each kiln now, especially with flatware. It's been roughly a 25% increase on average with flatware I can fit per firing."
-
Even Heat Distribution
"My kilns have always underfired near the top by about half a cone with my old shelves. With yours, I'm getting much more even heat distribution throughout the kiln. I'm no longer worrying about what pieces I put at the top."
Aprons Given Away
"I gave all the aprons (except one I kept) away to other local ceramic artists and community studios. Everyone was very excited to receive them and curious about your products."
James Says:
"I'm extraordinarily happy with the shelves so far, and now I'm curious how they do long term."
Thank You, James!
