How do I fire glaze?

cracking: Even glazing

A thick layer of glaze on the inside of a pot, and a thin or no layer on the outside will cause stress. The result is often a spiral crack up the sides.
If glaze pools on the inside of a pot, tension is created and the pot may crack or split across the base.
