Salt.Forest Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Hi all, I've had fully bone dry work out in an unheated shed for months. Last night we got a ton of snow--some freshly thrown pieces froze and cracked (oops) but the bone dry pieces appear to be fine. Does anyone have experience with this? Are the bone dry pieces ruined even though they look fine? Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 I’ve had many an unheated studio in years past. As long as the work is fully bone dry, it’ll be fine. If it was damp in any way, or gets damp, it’ll fall apart like reclaim. The freeze thaw cycle will break it apart. If your shed is anything like my old garage was, you’ll want to cover the pots with plastic in case the roof leaks, or there’s condensation.

JohnnyK Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 As @Callie Beller Dieselsaid, moisture is your biggest problem. Are you planning on bisque firing them soon? If so, you shouldn't have much of a problem, but if it's going to be awhile, you might consider bringing the pots into a dry area for a spell before firing if you can.
