Fellow Clayarters,
Hello from (finally wet but still hot and muggy) Baltimore!
I have a question regarding high-fire shino glazes. Most 'modern' shino
recipes (such as those of M. Davis, Shaner, Gustin) tend to
crawl in the concavities of a pot -- say, on the interiors of cups and
bowls.
A particularly troublesome area is around the bottom of a cylinder,
where
the wall and the floor of a piece meet. Do any of you have strategies
you
would be willing to share about how to 'smooth' out these trouble spots,
without losing the essential 'shino-ness' of the glaze? I'd be much
obliged
for any and all input!
( I am firing ^10 reduction in gas and wood kilns here at the B'more
Clayworks.)

How about using a contrasting glaze on the lower 3rd of the cylinder,
perhaps an Iron saturate, or black? The overlap of the two glazes gives a
nice effect. Glaze the inside first with a sanitary food safe white.

Most of my shinos don't crawl unless you put them on too thick or
put them on a dusty pot. I sometimes use Malcolm's recipes, but don't have
too much trouble with crawling if I apply the glaze thinly.

Comming back from a workshop at Sierra Nevada Colledge in LaKE Tahoe with
Tom Coleman I did about 25 pots not one crawed crazed n side outside or
sidways maybe the clay and glaze are not suitable You can also try wiping
the inside of the pot to make sure there is no dust etc..Ilene in Conn.....
