glazing large pots

Hi Sandy

Glazing a large pot placed upside down on sticks across a bowl is
fairly easy to do. Use sticks that are triangular shaped (ie, the
cross-section is a triangle), and then the pot will be balanced on
the very narrow pointy part, so there will be less to patch up
afterwards.

Pour the glaze slowly either while walking around it or the whole
lot perched on a banding wheel, and turn it slowly. Careful though,
this could be a messy disaster if it all tips over!

Hope this helps,
