60. Listener Questions: Glaze Crazing and Pinholing
Description
Thank you for your listener questions! This is the first listener question episode, and we're talking about about crazing and pinholing in pottery glazes. The listener questions in this episode are:
Is it a defect of the glaze to have pinholes or hairline cracks after firing?
Are these fired glazes permeable and will food residues settle in them over time, especially if you only wash them by hand?
Can crazed and pinholed pottery go in the dishwasher?
