the question asked was how do you glaze" pots" that are overfired in the
bisque?...we were not talking about long term sculpture... how does one keep
a standard of glazing when the bisque goes to cone 6... one does not, unless
you have a salt kiln, wood fired kiln or alternative firing methods...
"pots" that are manipulated with glaze on hard bisque rarely meet a
standard of excellence. if one spent months making one piece i hope you
would check the cones. "twice" so there.......
