Here is what happens if you do not sieve your glazes when needed


Monday 7th August 2017

This is a cone 6 transparent base glaze. It contains insight-live.com/glossary/43">frit, silica, kaolin, wollastonite. Almost all glazes have materials that are slightly soluble and over time these can form scale on the sides of the bucket or even precipitate particles into the slurry. The defects here are those scales. Before dipping a production piece in any glaze that has been in storage it is a good idea to assess it first to see if it needs to be sieved.
