Lainer

Thank you. I did change the wording as advised by someone from this forum. New to pottery making on my own and I’m learning the lingo. Anyway there was one piece (glazed) included in the firing that we believe was previously fired. That said quite a few of the pots were stuck together when we took them out of the kiln. There was no distortion or bloating. They actually came apart with a slight tap. My bigger question regards how long it took the glaze to dry. Two days for one coat. I tried painting it on and dipping. In fact the first dip didn’t fully absorb but seemed spotty, like it absorbed in some places but not others. I really appreciate your thoughtful responses. I had taken several classes before setting up my own little studio. So much to learn!

Thank you for your suggestions. Much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply and welcome. My friend actually owns the kiln and I believe bisqued to cone 4. The clay is stoneware (fired at 5-6). Like I said we did have have one bisque item already glazed which did stick to a piece of greenware laid on top it. But others items on different shelves stuck together as well.

My friend fired the greenware at cone 04.

Hello. I am new to this forum and I have a two part question. I’ve recently fired greenware and accidentally included a glazed item. Some of the pots stuck together in the kiln. Managed to get them apart all but one. I wondered if including the glazed piece could have caused this even on those pots not near it and on a different shelf. Today I applied glaze to the pots, and the glaze did not absorb and took two days to dry. This is glaze that I’ve used previously with no trouble, so I’m wondering if something happened in the kiln that could have contributed to this? Thank you for any help you can offer.
