How Do You Make A Ceramic Incense Burner?
Include some incense along with this burner to make a great gift. Choose a piece of greenware based on the type of incense you’ll use in it. Stick incense requires a long, flat surface, while cone incense does best in a small, cup-shaped object. Make a dragon or a gargoyle – they look great as incense burners. Clean the greenware. Cut out the nostrils and make a hole in the mouth before you have the greenware fired. The smoke from cones will come out of the holes for a really cool effect. Use a glaze finish on anything that will be coming in contact with the incense: The ash will clean up easily and the oils won’t soak in and ruin your paint job. Apply the first glaze or underglaze before the first firing. Finish with the glazing series until you have a nice, shiny incense burner. Glue felt pads to the bottom of the burner to protect the surface you set it on.
