Hi!
I am taking ceramic class at community collage. I have only one year
experience of ceramic making. I have a same question of Christopher
about Shino glazes. Our class uses Red Art Shino. I love this
glaze fs color and texture, but it tends to crawl in the concavities of
a bowel. It was happened only one side on my pieces. My friend
explained to me why it was happened. She said that I dipped in glaze
to long; therefore, bisque piece absorbed water too much. And then
water absorbed bisque repelled glaze. But I thought I dipped whole my
piece in glaze. Why it was happed only one side on my piece??? Would
you please share your knowledge about how to smooth out Shino glaze?
Than you.

Midori: There are several aspects of glaze
application which may be responsible for your problem.First of all, make
certain your piece has been cleaned of all contaminations (including
finger marks). If it is your plan to dip your piece to get
the glaze application, if it is your intent to
overlap (for effect), don't wait until the first
coat is bone dry to apply the second; when the shine goes off the first
coat, (meaning the free water has disapated) be
quick to apply your second coat. When you wash your bisqueware, scrub
the in-
side with somethig rough.

Midori - The glaze got too thick in the area that crawled. After you
glaze, wait for the glaze to dry and any area that has cracks form in
dry glaze, need to be rubbed over with dry finger to fill in crack. A
crack left in dry glaze often will separate when fired and leave a bare
spot.
