no. The heat will move quickly if heated directly. This usually results in the explosion of your piece of clay, cut into pieces. Especially if it is not quite dry. In theory it could work if you build a small space and heat the refractory bricks with the torch, but then the size of the torch is a limited space can really heat. I do not think a propane torch to heat are far from being a really small enough to fire ceramics. It also depends on the tone. I raku clay, less sensitive than other variations of the temperature of the clay so it was several hours, rather than take one or two days.

I suggest you pull the yellow pages, if there is a ceramics workshop in your area, the pieces of their release in exchange for a fee. You can also examine the schools and art centers.

No one.

To reach a state that has passed through various stages of dough that occur at very high temperatures. All that will happen is that a torch of the water evaporates and leaves can dry.
At 575C, the earth goes through "investments Quartz" and that is the point at which a country is never even - imagine that, if the tone back to breast-feed can get wet after slipping down.
Will happen There are many other changes after that (the creation and restoration of crystals, etc.), but everything is questionable, because there is a torch that will be hot.

* * * * Perhaps you might have insulated it well in a box and has been a great flame, and it could be maintained for 2 days .. But even if the room was near the flame, which will probably break anyway ..

I would say that you can find your local potter's guild, and ask if someone you could fire.

No, I agree with Tiger, which is not wise to try.

If you are not yet out of the game, but some of the tone on the market.
Select a tone, what you do and what tools are available.

I shape clay into the fire - it must be baked in an oven to reach their greatest strength. I pay for courses and joined a guild that has pottery and kilns.

Many people use polymer clay. These need to be baked to cure.
This can be baked in an oven at home. I have a toaster that put out the smoke in my room is.

These are clays, others have an additive which melts during cooking.
I have no experience with the

There are models based hard like clay dough - an oil-Tone

There is mud in the air - not as strong as some of the mud and break rule

There are some models that component glue. It was produced by a chemical reaction
