How to Glaze Ceramics at Home? — Spinning Pots
Glazing your ceramics is undoubtedly exciting! Especially when you plan to do it at your house, it is a great idea as you get more time for experimentation than too at home’s comfort. Also, if you are a beginner, then glazing your pottery at your home gives you more opportunities to get better at it.
But glazing ceramics at home brings forth a few problems too! Issues like unavailability of all the required ingredients, not getting access to a high range of temperature, etc., turn up when you try glazing at home. However, these must not refrain you from trying glazing at your home.
So, here is how you can do it.
Glazing your ceramic at your home is not much different from the way you do it at your studio. The initial steps are almost the same here.
Allow your greenware to become bone dry:
In case you are not working with bisque-fired pottery, you need to allow it to become totally bone dry before you opt for any glaze application. After forming the pottery, let it rest for a few days until it becomes totally dry. Keep checking the pottery. If it feels cold to touch, you need to allow it to sit for some more time to become completely dry.
