Is 4 fuse firings on a piece too many?
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2025 7:05 pm
After a kiln problem in the 2nd firing of the piece the piece was not annealled properly.
Cooled kiln and kept piece in kiln then fixed problem . Re-fired piece to 1425 F. There are some
spider cracks in areas of the piece. The piece has some variations in thicknesses due to the
design. Thinking of re-firing again but to a higher fuse temperature and anneal for a longer time.
Feeling that I am being wishful thinking it might work but the piece is very lovely.
Any other ideas would be appreciated, Thanks, Val
