What Is a Ceramic Glaze?
A glaze is a glass-like coating applied to ceramic surfaces. When fired in a kiln, it melts and bonds to the clay, adding color, texture, and durability.
Types of Glazes
Common glaze types include glossy, matte, satin, and crystalline. Each reacts differently based on firing temperature and clay body.
Testing and Experimentation
Glazing often involves experimentation. Small test tiles help artists understand how glazes behave before applying them to finished work.
