After high firing in a gas kiln for 25 years, Wickford, Rhode
Island, potter Harry Spring was forced by circumstances to switch to
electric. This was quite an adjustment, as Spring had come to depend on
the serendipitous effects that are part of the magic of reduction
firing. But, adjust he did. Today he shares with us some of the
adjustments he made that have made this switch a fun challenge rather
than a burden. –Jennifer Harnetty, editor.

I have to admit, glazing is not my favorite part of the ceramic
process. It’s probably because of its potential to make or break a good
pot (and believe me, I have broken quite a few with poor glaze
application). I tend to be a bit of a sloppy glazer and I sometimes
rush through it a little more quickly than I should. Annie Crietzberg
is the polar opposite of me in the glaze room: methodical and precise.
I know my glazing outcomes could be greatly improved if I followed just
a couple of Annie’s tips, so I thought I would share them with the
community. Hopefully you will benefit from Annie’s advice too! –
