LEACHING
ca: ESCÓRRER
es: ESCURRIR
Leaching occurs when glazes being fired react incorrectly. A glaze can turn into a liquid, run and adhere to everything it comes into contact with, other colors, kiln furniture and walls. The word leaching comes from the name of a worm “leech” which reacts in the same way; it adheres to another living body. If you have seen that great film African Queen you will understand the meaning very well.
