Hi Linda;
The cold doesn't seem to affect the glazes. I did a kiln load last week and
it was just below freezing. The pieces sat in the kiln overnight waiting to
be fired the next morning.
My only issue was the glaze itself froze a bit in the buckets and was still
a little frozen so even though I mixed them vigorously, they were still
lumpy and I was very disappointed with the results as the glaze was all
globby. Therefore I need to sieve them all again before using them.
Hope that helps,
