Sieving glazes
The only correct way to glaze your work is to thoroughly mix and strain each glaze you use. The proper way to mix is either with a wisk (if the glaze is not settled and hard) or an electric mixer tool. Once the glaze is mixed, thoroughly strain it through a large sieve into a container suited to the pot you need to glaze. If you don't already do this you will be amazed at what you don't find because you do find a lot more than you'd expect. This is especially important if you work in a community lab or art center facility where many people use the glazes. This single step will improve the consistency of your glazes and help to yield beautiful pots.
