How do I spray my glazes?

Spraying Glazes: Booths

Separate equipment is required for spraying, which is not always available in the studio pottery: a glaze spray gun, a compressor, a mask and a glaze booth. The glaze booth extracts fine glaze mist, which should not be inhaled from the air. This is done with an extractor fan. More sophisticated spray booths have a wall of running water to trap most of the glaze, so it is not just ejected into the atmosphere (important where toxic ingredients are used!).
