New to hand building and pottery making in general. Are all pieces needing to be bisque fired before applying the glaze? I'm not sure if I've missed this in watching Jessica's videos, but it appears that she goes from drying pottery pieces for a few weeks to applying the glaze and then firing.

Hi Lori, some people glaze directly on greenware and fire only once. I don't do this and I've not seen Jess do it in all the videos I've watched from the beginning! It's not easy to glaze fire from greenware in my opinion, it's easy to have things blow up in your kiln that way, then you lose more pieces and possibly damage your kiln.
Thank you Starlynn. I was thinking greenware needed to be bisque fired but just wasn't 100% sure. I appreciate your feedback!!
