The glaze is an important part of most pottery processes that require firing. However, if you fail to store them properly, they might not turn out as good as you expected them to be. But, before you go on and understand the right way to store your pottery glaze, you need to understand what they are and what they are used for!

So, without further ado, let us understand everything about pottery glaze.

What is a pottery glaze?

The glaze is a coating or layer of a translucent or transparent substance that is fused with the pottery piece via the process of firing. Pottery glaze can be used for coloring, decorating, as well as waterproofing your piece.

Here are the three types of glaze you will use in your pottery endeavors.

Now, that you know about glazes, let us understand the best ways to store them.
