Glazing made easy
I will give you tools to expand your options to use your glazes strictly for function, but I will also help you to create techniques with glazes that you may use for decoration on your work. Some decoration techniques will also be usable for kitchenware. We will address troubled glazes; how to identify and fix them and we will touch on altering glazes for the different base glazing techniques, like dipping, pouring, spraying and brushing on glazes.
What is a glaze
Just like clay, glaze materials comes from earth, known as raw glazing materials. A basic glaze is made up from clay, melting agents and silica. In this video Antoinette explains the glaze material in layman terms with analogizes from her kitchen.
