How do you brush ceramic glaze?
Use a small compact brush to wipe away glaze in areas you can’t reach with a sponge. Don’t brush glaze from the big glaze bucket. Pour a small amount into a cup, then briskly stir it occasionally to ensure that it stays properly mixed. Keep a large, damp sponge nearby to keep the brush handle…

Also, how do you apply glaze to ceramics?Glazes can be applied with a brush or the entire piece can be carefully dipped into a glaze bath. Glazes often require multiple coats and a lot of patience to get them just right. When that time comes and the piece is dry, you’re ready for the glaze firing, where the pottery is heated to maturity.Beside above, how do you glaze? Apply the glaze liberally with a brush, making sure it gets into all recesses, then wipe some off with a rag. Use a dry, soft bristle brush to spread the glaze evenly over the surface. The brush will both move glaze around and pick up excess glaze from puddles in corners. In this manner, can you brush on dipping glaze? In the case of overglaze decoration on top of a glaze which has been dipped, poured, or sprayed, brush marks are often accepted as part of the process. Bisqued clay or a dry glaze coating absorb a lot of water and a brush with small reservoir capacity will not work unless streaky dry-brush effects are desired.Can you glaze ceramics twice?Yes, technically you can re-fire ceramics hundreds of times – look at what kiln furniture does, it’s clay. As for re-glazing your work, typically this is done from high temp to low temp, you cannot exactly take a low-fire surface and fire it to hotter temps without risking some unwanted effect (or maybe you want it).
