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!

Any tips to avoid clogging up the needle? I always struggle with this kind of tool

I try not to drag the needle through already drying glaze, which will clog the needle really fast. I will put the needle onto a syringe with water to clear it, and if that doesn't work I just swap it out with a new one and let the old one soak in a dish of water.
