Crazing (food safety in glaze)

#pottery #crazing #foodsafe #handicraft


Hello potters, how are you ? today we're going to talk about one facet of food safety when it comes to your ceramic artwork and functional wear. were taking about crazing in pottery and how it affects the food safety of your glaze, some of the misinformation behind it, and how to prevent it. near the end of this video I will give you a reassurance that it's not as bad as it seems along with a explanation of what causes crazing and how to fix or prevent it.

it took me quite some time to understand what crazing or craze ware is and how it related to the strength and safety of my work for my customers. although it's a far easier explanation than it seems from a chemistry level. it mostly has to do with thermal expansion and how that works together with your clay body and glaze.
