What is pinholing?

Pin-holing Description

Pin-holing is most common to matt glazes. Air escaping from the bisqueware will often form little holes in the surface of the unfired glaze as we glaze a pot. For gloss glazes these will usually smooth out in the firing, but for matt glazes they often remain. It's a good idea use your finger to rub out these little holes before submitting your pieces to be fired.
