Hello All,
I have gone through the archives & gotten lots of great info on preventing
cracking of large platters for which I am truly grateful!. Actually I'm
making a birdbath basin of terra cotta..........& my question is if I place
it on little balls of clay or stilts do I have to use a single shelf?
I have all half shelves for my old electric kiln. They appear to be even
all the way across, but who knows what happens when firing......
TIA
Jennifer
