Just wondering if anyone has experience with pouring aluminum or copper on their pottery? We've done melts with glass, but getting ready to try aluminum, and maybe copper if that works out.

I have not done this. I'd be a bit too scared it would ruin my kiln tbh.

But Florian Gadsby does add metal shavings as inclusions into his pottery so I may just have an overabundance of caution.

We're using a smelter on fired pottery to see what works. Might shatter from the heat, will have to see how it goes.
