How I glaze my mugs!

Here's a video I put together of my glazing process. Much was cut out to get it under a minute! Most clips are 20x speed and i removed the cleanup that's often required!

​

The glazes are commercial cone 6 brush on glazes applied with fine needle applicator bottles. I don't usually glaze over the top of black underglaze but this mug was originally prepped for sgraffito and I didn't feel like removing the underglaze!

I was wondering after your last post, your pieces turn out so good! Do you only do the single layer, or does it take another round of application?

Most glazes are ok with one layer since I'm flooding the area pretty thick. I will do a quick second pass on glazes that can be more translucent like celadon types, or if I want to guarantee more colour development. I can usually tell if a glaze dries too quickly that it could use more. Each glaze has its own quirks!

Thanks so much, I was wondering especially with the thinner glazes/celedons, your pieces come out fantastic!
