Jay,

High fired stoneware is generally safe in freezing weather.

I have been asked about the winter hardiness of my pots. As a new potter I
am of course not sure. My pots are fired to cone 8 1/2 or so. (Cone 8 is
down, cone 9 is bent over). I would think this is enough, but I'm unsure.
Could I try and place a pot or two in the freezer? I would first fill it
with bonsai soil and water it allow it to drain well then freeze it. Am I
being silly or is this a good test?
