To ensure a flawless glaze application on your pottery, follow these essential steps.
Firstly, maintain a well-mixed glaze slurry consistently. This step is crucial to achieve even coverage when you dip your pots into the glaze. After the initial high-speed mixing consider using a whisk between dipping to further enhance the glaze’s consistency.
When applying an overlay glaze, exercise caution during the dipping process. Avoid leaving the pots submerged for too long. A brief dip of about 3 to 4 seconds should be sufficient. This practice helps to prevent issues such as crawling, which is often caused by an excessive thickness of the glaze. Remember, when it comes to glaze application, less is often better than more.
By adhering to these principles, you can witness the beautiful results of well-applied cover glazes on your pottery.
