Julia, here’s a helpful reference from Wikipedia about “dunting cracks”. I have really enjoyed all of your kiln unloadings. Thank you. Dunting is a fault that can occur during the firing of ceramic articles. It is the "cracking that occurs in fired ceramic bodies as a result of a thermally induced stress" [1] and is caused by a "ware cooled too quickly after it has been fired".[2][3] Although usually occurring during cooling dunts can also be caused by excessively fast heating rates. Heating dunts can be recognised by rounded edges to the cracks as the glaze matured after they occurred, whereas cooling dunts have sharp edges.[4][5]

Thankyou so much Nat ❤️ yes pink gloss would look lovely for a really piggy colour 😊 I am totally on love with the transfer ones, need to get more as it's tricky but enjoyable. I want to have a go at painting but I'm so rubbish, my art is 2 year old level 🤣 xx

U can print off the outline pattern off their website first, trace it onto yr piece then follow along in her video. Very easy I promise!

I like the transfer concept. You could consider firing your wall vase lying down by placing stilts under them. Another great firing thank you Julia. NZ.

Nice kiln unload Julia. Good you saved piggy cos he's soooo cute ❤ Can you not put glass chips or marbles in the cracked bowl and fire it again? Maybe it cures the crack..... The vases are absolutely beautiful. The one with the coiled handle is wow 😍 my favourite ❤ Greetz Sheila

Thanks for doing RR combos. I used it again before I saw this and mine turned that ugly brown. So I sold the rest of the glaze. I gave up on it. Wish I had seen your combos first!
