Glazing by
Mel Owen
In the studio I have joined to do ceramics, I've been told I have to use wax
resist on the bottom and up the side of the work I make in high fire clay,
with high fire glazes, to prevent damage to the kiln tiles. I do not like

Ruined Pit Fired Pieces by

slow cooling with digital electric kiln by
Mel[_2_]
I have a new Paragon Electric Kiln with a digital controler. I program
it for cone #5 with a 10 minute hold for my glazing. What slower
cooling rate than the normal cool down should I use to allow crystal
glazes to work and help keep Greenware from cracking?
