Crawling occurs for a number of reasons, but basically the glaze or slip used shrinks at a faster rate than the clay body when fired. In my studio it occurs most commonly when glazes containing a partial amount of clay is applied too thick or when slip is applied on top of a glaze. There are some glazes however that are formulated to crawl giving a look similar to dried and cracked mud.
