Glazing Part 1

Finished Pinch Pot

Beginning of Coil Pot

     It is important to wash your hands and wipe away dust before glazing so that the glaze sticks to the clay adequately.  you do not always need to apply wax resist, but if you are dunking your piece in the glaze then it is useful so no glaze sticks to the bottom.  The appropriate amount of time to keep your pot in contact with the glaze is one and a half seconds.  Bucket glazes are thinner than jug glazes, so a brush cannot effectively grab all of the particles from the glaze that need to go onto your piece.
