Hi Martin,
Go the Clayart archives, and look up once firing. We talked about this =
fairly
much at one point in about August or September. I did not work with it for =
too
long. But one of the keys for me was to use a glaze that had a lot of clay =
in
it.
I also used engobes between the glazes and pots, and not confirmed, but
I thought that had also a positive effect. The archives have a lot of info.
Good luck,
Alisa in Denmark
