* Another Crawling Cause

In the last issue we covered some of the reasons for a glaze to crawl on a piece. Well Red in Roachville, submitted the additional idea:

“I over-bisque fired a group of pots. My kiln sitter was on the blink, and I miscalculated the firing time for the greenware.  The pieces were just a bit too "hard" to accept the glazes as usual, and crawled when Raku-fired.”

So add that to your bag of tricks.
