How do I glaze my ware?

Pouring glazes

Pieces that are too large to fit in the glaze bucket can be poured. Hold the piece over a large bowl and pour glaze onto the pot. Try to get the glaze layer even by pouring steadily and rotating the piece. Again, any overlapping areas will usually show, so you can use this decoratively. For cylindrical forms or mugs, it's usually best to glaze the inside by pouring. Pour the glaze into the pot and slowly rotate it as you pour it out. The outside then can be glazed after the inside dries.
