AndreaB Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Hi everyone, I did try and find a solution but only came up with how to change the glaze composition. I have two urn which I just fired and both have crazing. I checked thick6of the glaze and all seemed fine. It's stoneware fired to 1200°C with 20 min hold. I've had problems making these pieces and it's taken me 8 months due to health issues and trying different forms for the request. Can I refire and hope that the glaze will smooth out or touch up with glaze and refire? Solutions would be much appreciated. Many thanks Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Crazing is caused by a mismatch in the shrinkage rates of the glaze and the clay body underneath it. Refiring won’t help, I’m afraid. Unless the urn is for food use, which if I recall this specific one is NOT, the crazing doesn’t need to be considered a flaw. If the jar is for burial, crazing can be embraced as aesthetically desirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
