Glazing

Glazing pottery is a transformative step that combines beauty and functionality. Ceramic glazes form a smooth, glass-like coating on bisque-ware, adding vibrant color and patterns while making the pottery waterproof and food-safe. From bold designs to unique mineral reactions, glazing offers endless creative possibilities.

The process begins by mixing and applying glaze to bisque-ware, letting it dry, and loading it into a kiln. As the kiln gradually heats, the silica in the glaze melts, creating a durable, impermeable surface. Once cooled, the pottery becomes strong, resistant to water, and ready for everyday use.

Beyond aesthetics, glazing ensures practicality. Fired clay remains porous and unsuitable for food or liquids until the glaze is applied and fired again. By mastering this process, you can create ceramics that are as functional as they are stunning.
