Glazing ceramics is an art form in itself! There are many ways to apply glaze to create various effects and expressions. Here are some popular techniques and types of glazes to explore:
Brushing: A common method where you paint the glaze onto the surface with a brush. Ideal for detailed patterns or combining multiple colors.
Dipping: Dip the ceramic piece directly into the glaze for a smooth, even coating. Quick and efficient!
Spraying: Use a spray gun for a soft and even finish. Perfect for gradients and blending effects.
Pouring: Pour glaze over the piece to create natural, flowing patterns. Works especially well on larger surfaces.
Types of Glazes:
Transparent: Enhances details or patterns beneath the glaze.
Matte: Provides a soft and modern, non-glossy finish.
Glossy: Delivers a classic, mirror-like shine.
Specialty Glazes: Contain oxides or particles that create unique textures and color shifts.
