it wont matter a lot if you glaze the terra cotta completely or leave some
unglazed areas..It will ..in time.. craze anyway. Terra cotta is a
beautiful clay, but it will, by nature, absorb mosture and craze in time.
If the crazing is not a big thing to you.. then do it.. If they are for
you,
and you dont like the crazing,, refire them.. That will take care of it for
a
while..until they craze again.. jim in Denton
