Just like clay, glaze materials comes from earth, known as raw (glaze) 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.
 ​Glazing of pottery can come in many different techniques. Majolica is a very old decorating technique that originated somewhere in the 15th century on the Spanish Island Majorca.
