How to apply clear glaze onto ceramics?
Filed Under (ceramics) by admin
Cindy C asked:


Hi, I’m new to ceramics and I hope I don’t sound stupid, but here goes. I have some bisque fired pieces and I’ve applied some coloured underglazes to them.

Do I :
1. Apply clear glaze over the underglaze and fire it.

or

2. Fire the underglazed ceramics first and then apply clear glaze and fire it again?

The instructions on the glaze containers didn’t make it clear enough for me. Helpful answers appreciated.

Note: I’m using Duncan Envision clear glaze and Hobby Colorobbia brand underglazes.
