Why can't one put glaze on Greenware? I don't understand...
I think the glaze would just soke into the greenware and leave the color
The glaze is just a glass sealer. What would happend if one glazed
greenware?
Does the greenware shrink in the kiln? Can someone explain?




Thanks...


You can put glaze on greenware. I read of a potter who never bisqued
(he was firing low fire). So, I gave it a whirl. The glaze matured
properly and stayed on the pots. However, the reds turned either green
or went clear and the coppers turned black. I now have an off-white
apple that I did for one of the testers and my Armegeden piece which was
supposed to be oozing blood out of a copper body, is oozing green stuff
out of a black body instead. Considering the piece, I like my
accidental result better than the one I had planned.

What type of "glaze"?
