If you have a high clay content in the glaze, it makes it easier. If
not, try adding a hardener to the glaze.
In St. Paul, I lived in a studio/loft at the Northern
Warehouse Artists Cooperative. I threw there and bisqued in an
electric kiln and glazed at home. I also had studio space at Northern
Clay Center, where I fired in their Gas and Soda kilns.
What I would do, is wrap the glazed pot in newspaper,
before it completely dried. The glazed pot is less fragile if it
doesn't completely dry out. I kept little bottles of all my glazes
(film canisters, baby food jars, etc) and brought these with me to the
Clay Center to do touch up. I had success working this way & rarely
had to touch up glazed pots. Most touch up occurred during the
loading, which happens no matter if you glaze on site or transport the
glazed pots.
