Glazing Re-Post


Glazing is such a critical part of the whole ceramic process, but all too often it's the part where some potters lose steam.


We have all agonized at; wedging, centering, pulling, cutting, trimming, smoothing, waiting, firing, and finally are ready to finish it off with a glaze. I see a lot of people in the studio not leaving enough time to do it right, take the time. Glazing like throwing has some basic techniques - and then there is lots of  room for interpretation and creativity. Nothing worse than  a beautiful piece ruined with a bad and/or sloppy glaze job.

It always takes longer to glaze that you plan. Here are some very basic tips to help make your final journey easier and hopefully make for better glaze jobs.
