Try bisque firing to a higher temperature cone, such as going from cone 06 to
04 or even cone02. If you have been making work which is larger or thicker
than normal then you should slow down your firing schedule for bisque( extend
the time) and raise the bisque firing temperature. This will allow for a
more thorough burn off of impurities.
