How I Glaze Wide Angular Jars

Coating a rather belled lidded jar in a thick layer of white crackle glaze.   I begin by pouring some glaze into the footwell and before it sets, I plunge the vessel into the bucket, making sure it’s empty enough that the glaze displaced doesn’t overflow. This can be a rather tricky thing to judge, but I’ve only had a few bad accidents and, in all cases, the bucket itself is placed inside another bucket, this way no glaze is wasted, nor does it cascade all over the floor.   Once the form is coated, the lid too, the two parts need to be tidied up with a paring knife, my fingers and a sponge. Throughout this entire process I collect the excess glaze dust that falls onto the table and I eventually place it into a basin of glaze that after some months of collection, I’ll sieve it back into the larger container.   The lid is then propped up using wadding. A mixture made from 50% kaolin, (EPK in this case, but I’m not sure it matters), and 50% coarse alumina hydrate. I wedge it to a clay like consistency and press them onto the wax underneath the lid, which surprisingly holds them in place really well. It’s delicately placed atop the jar and now, finally, it’s ready to be reduction fired.   #glazing #vessel #howto #pottery #craft #maker
