A-OKAY

I unloaded the bisque the other day and got a number of pots out that I had my fingers crossed on including a coarse slip and textured and thrown bowls in stoneware and porcelain. Now there is nothing all that complex about the technique and process but what I have found is that on occasion, porcelain and sometimes white stoneware pieces thrown and widely expanded with this heavier texture look fine until they come out of the bisque where if they are going to have cracked (hairlines) this is most likely when it will occur. I quickly checked the stoneware pieces except the covered jars which did not get into the bisque and then turned my attention to the porcelain bowls. Using a 10X magnifier, I gave each bowl a quick go around and then a second to confirm that all is a okay. I am rerunning my old amber glaze(s) in the next kiln firing so I will wait on glazing these before I move forward. I could always glaze everything in green but I am reminded, diversity is the axis of our world.
