Just spray the glazed unfired surface with starch, let it dry, wrap the piece with soft material, pack it well and get it to a kiln.
Better late than never! Thanks for the tip, Chanda!

A little starch goes a long way
Ever need to transport pieces that have been glazed and not fired? This happened to me recently, as I needed to get a stray jar home from Montana. I was a bit worried that the glaze would rub off during the 3 day drive back to Kansas City. Spray Starch was suggested to me by fellow ceramic artist, Chanda Glendinning--and guess what!? It worked! Flawless finish.

Brilliant, thank you.
ReplyDeleteGreat...sounds much better than the clear spray Krylon I've been using. And a pretty pot too!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about that but never had occasion to use it but a good reminder.
