How do I apply glaze?

Spraying

Glaze can also be applied by spraying. The pot is rotated in the spray booth as the spray is applied. Spraying is most effective for adding accents or shading. The glaze can be applied heavily to one area of the piece and feathered out to a light application elsewhere. Brushing isn't recommended for applying high-fire glazes. It's difficult to get the glaze thick enough. A brush is handy for touching up spots where the dry glaze has chipped off rims or to fill in small areas. Build up the glaze nice and thick, and rub off the excess after it dries.
