Artists working with porcelain and other ceramic bodies often face the challenge of glaze fit—ensuring the glaze adheres properly without cracking or peeling due to differences in thermal expansion. To address this, they employ several techniques. First, they carefully select compatible clay bodies and glazes with similar coefficients of expansion. Testing small samples before full-scale application helps identify potential issues. Additionally, artists may adjust firing schedules, using slower heating and cooling rates to minimize stress. Some even layer intermediary glazes to bridge the gap between dissimilar materials. By mastering these methods, artists achieve both functional durability and stunning visual harmony in their mixed-ceramic creations.
