Xésta! I've discovered that at least two of my green glazed pieces have crazed, including my favorite piece, the tall goblet/tumbler that was first coated in a couple of layers of white terra sig. And to make it worse, the crazing is only on the inside (for now), in other words, on the surface that needs to be solidly glazed to be food safe. I am very angry with the studio about it. I get a lot of 'oh, so few people use the 04 glazes, we've always had a problem keeping them...' So, uh, why mix up huge buckets, eh? Why not fix your glaze recipes when people complain? More to the point, if firing fees INCLUDE the cost of glazes, but your glazes can't be trusted, are you still going to charge me for buying a pint of commercial glaze, or deduct it from the firing fee? Grumble. And goodbye, goblet.
