Pottery Glazes
Pottery glazes are liquid solutions or suspensions of various minerals and chemicals that are applied to ceramic ware before firing. They are used to create a decorative, protective, or functional coating on the surface of the pottery, adding color, texture, and shine. Glazes can be transparent, opaque, matte, or glossy, and can be formulated to produce a wide range of effects, from crackle patterns to metallic finishes. The application of glazes requires skill and precision, as the firing process can affect the final appearance of the piece.
