Splattering glaze

If you’re not into the clean approach, you can go wild with glaze by splashing and splattering it.

This method is sure to create a playful and dynamic pattern that will brighten up your piece. Use one colour or a mixture of colours. It’s entirely up to you.

Create interesting splatters by waving a brush, running your fingers over a toothbrush until it splatters, or dragging a knife through glaze on a nail brush in the direction of your piece.

You can also throw it on a potter’s wheel to achieve an even coverage on all sides. Have fun!
