How do I apply glaze?

Description

What is a glaze?
We're all familiar with glaze as a coating of glassy material on the surface of a pot. A glaze is exactly that, though we may not recognize some types of glazes as particularly glassy. Glazes can be glossy, matt, rough, and all variations in between. They can also be transparent, translucent, or opaque and may have most any color. A glaze can show depth--in gradations of color for a transparent glaze, or in the surface itself for some special effect glazes such as crater or crawl glazes.
