Have a blast with this one. It can have quite a temper and I've found it to be very sensitive depending on clay, firing and application. Salt will add flux to the surface and the result will be some "smoothing" of the crackle surface.
I live in Frederick and take a class from Stan Burgess at the Frederick Pottery School. I have been firing with Allison Severance and John Theis locally. Stan told me about your work at the Baltimore Clayworks and I check it out every time I go. I have two of your tea bowls with a soft, white, crawling shino glaze, with a little salmon flashing underneath. Very nice! The bowls have wad marks - were they from the noborigama? If so, do you share your slip/glaze recipes?
