Glazing the inside of a pot first helps to prevent any unwanted drips or runs on the exterior surface when the pot is inverted for glazing. It also ensures that the interior is fully coated and sealed, which is crucial for functional ware that may hold liquids. Additionally, glazing the inside first allows for better control of the glaze application, as it can be more challenging to reach the interior surfaces after the exterior is completed.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use more than one type of glaze on each clay pot?
Yes you can.
How do you get the excess glaze off of the bottom of your already fired pot?
the best way to get off a small bit of glaze off the base of a pot (like small bits from a kiln shelf) is to use a carborundum/sharpening stone and slowly grind it down
Why is my glaze flaking off my bisque pot?
Glaze flaking off a bisque pot can occur due to inadequate surface preparation, such as not cleaning the bisque properly before glazing. If the bisque is too porous or has residual dust, oil, or moisture, the glaze may not adhere properly. Additionally, using a glaze that is not compatible with the clay body or firing at an incorrect temperature can also contribute to this issue. Ensuring proper cleaning and compatibility will help achieve a more successful glaze application.
Can more than one type of glaze be used on each clay pot?
Yes, as long as the glazes are meant to be fired to the same cone. Putting a cone 6 and a cone 10 glaze on the same pot would not be a good idea. But putting two, three, four, etc. glazes of the same cone on one pot is perfectly fine. Just understand that glazes may be stable by themselves, but when another glaze is added on top that may create instabilities such as crazing or running. The biggest problem I have had with combining glazes on one pot is running. Just make sure to put the pot on stilts or on a waste slab so you don't have to grind glaze off the kiln shelf.

To produce the best results, weigh all chemicals accurately.6Secure the sealable lid on the bucket. Place the container on its side and gently roll it on the floor for 1 to 2 minutes.

Where should you NOT put glaze on a clay pot?
