Brush-on Glazes
Brush-on glazes are glazes especially formulated for brushing onto ceramic work. This makes decorating very easy. These glazes are formulated so that brush marks will largely smooth over, but at the same time the glaze won't run, if fired to the right temperature. Brushing on glazes also enable variations in decoration, that would otherwise be impossible. The difficulty is getting the combination of thickness and firing temperature right, but this is -- as with so many things -- a matter of trial and error.
