if you r firing a bisque with low-fire glaze at the same time, donot put on same shelf. in fact, put glaze up higher in case. #k12artchat

that shouldn't matter in the bisque...the clay high temp that is. #k12artchat

The bisque wont stick but you can actually fire a bisque & low fire glazed pieces at same time as long as dont let them touch. #K12ArtCHAT
