How do I apply crystal glazes?

Application

The easiest way to apply crystal glazes is to begin by not mixing the jar of colour. Pour off the majority of the glaze on the top of the jar, which will be glaze without crystals. Apply the first two coats of colour from this supply. Let dry and apply the remaining glaze and crystals. You should take care not to apply crystals from crystal glazes too near the bottom of a piece to avoid drippings and puddles on the bottom of a piece. The effects you achieve with crystal glazes will never be the same on two different pieces.
