glazing

Glazes are a thick suspension of minerals that are applied to the surface of bisque-fired ceramics by brushing, pouring, or dipping.

 

After the glaze dries, the piece is kiln fired to the temperature at which the glaze ingredients will bind together to form a high gloss colored surface.

why glazing is amazing

super shine

Glazing is amazing because the high gloss glaze is applied before firing which makes the piece shine like a diamond.

silk screens

Glazing is amazing because various silk screen and transfers can be used to create custom lettering and hand drawn designs.

accents

Glazing is amazing because metallic colors such as gold and silver can be added as accents and fired a second time.

food safe

Glazing is amazing because plates, platters, mugs and bowls are fired with a food and dishwasher safe glaze, making them safe for eating, drinking and dishwasher use. 

ugh, Glazing

Although the finished product will look amazing, glazing is not for the impatient.  Glazed bisque must be left to dry and fire in the kiln, therefore taking up to 3-4 days for completion and because glazes don't melt together until the firing, they can sometimes produce  unsuspecting  and unwanted outcomes.
