This is a great question! Resting overnight is not a substitute. If you need to sieve your glaze, there's no way around that. However, in my experience 99% of store-bought glazes do not need to be sieved. I've only had to do it once, because of a manufacturing error. If you are mixing your own glazes from raw materials, you should definitely sieve your glaze. But prepared glazes should have already been sieved by the manufacturer. I wouldn't sieve unless it says to do so on the packaging, or if you are finding little unwanted chunks in it. But this might vary by country and always follow the advice of your glaze supplier :)
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. It is really helpful! I do have a question though how long can I store a mixed glaze in a bucket? Does it get bad over time?
Hi Mia!Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I am learning a lot with your videos :) I started my ceramic studio at home and I tried glazing my pottery for first time. The result wasn't as expected as the white glazing didn't come out as white as it supposed to be. I think I got it wrong with the Pehatine ratio mixing. I wanted to use the same glaze powder preparation for dipping and brushing on. However I see in your video that you don't add any pehatine. I have a couple of questions: 1) Should I start a "new fresh glazing powder" mixing batch? or would be possible to fix the one I did with the pehatine? And 2nd question: Would be possible to glaze these pots again? Thanks a lot! :)
Hi! Thank you for your video! This may be a silly question but, how do you use the powder glaze that you make in the 2L bucket if it's not big enough to dip your pots in but can't be used for painting? Would you just do a few tiny tests and if you like it make a bigger batch in a bigger bucket right away? Thank you
@@PotterytothePeople Thank you! i will try it out and see. I did some googling and read than adding 2% bentonite can make the glaze easier to work with and not settle too much
Danke für das Video! Ich warte gerade auf meine erste Lieferung von Pulverglasuren. Habe bisher immer nur Flüssigglasuren verwendet. In einem anderen Video über Pulverglasuren wurde ein Sieb verwendet. Also nach dem Mischen nochmal durch den Sieb gießen. Das machst du anscheinend nicht. Muss man das nicht machen?
Das ist eine gute Frage! Einige Pulverglasuren müssen tatsächlich gesiebt werden. Meiner Erfahrung nach steht das normalerweise auf der Verpackung, und 95 % der Glasuren müssen nicht gesiebt werden. Ich siebe meine nie, solange es keine Probleme mit den Ergebnissen gibt. Es ist immer wichtig, zu testen! Auch bei gekauften Glasuren ☺️
Don’t you need to strain the powdered glaze through a mesh? Or is resting overnight a substitute?

I found this video super helpful! Just bought my first batch of powered commercial glazes and now I feel a little more prepared. Thanks!
Wow! I'm sure a TON of time went into putting that global list together for us. Danke sehr 💜
No problem! I am glad people are finding it useful :)
I'm so grateful for finding you and your channel ❤thank you for spreading your knowledge ❤❤❤
Thank you for your tutorials I m a biggener and I just got my dry glazes, it help me alot :)
Nice timing! I'm making the switch to dipping glazes, now that I have my own studio, and I'm mixing the water in today 😁.
congrats on the new studio! 😍
@@PotterytothePeople thanks! It's been awesome to have my own space!
Thank you. I've been considering this, since I seem to keep gravitating to a few glazes vs all of the ones I have.
Thanks for your tutorials! they are so great
Exactly what I'm looking for
Another brilliant video! Thank you so much.
This is awesome, thank you Mia!🙂
Awesome! Great Info. I'm still waiting to get my shimpo vl whisper. It's been on back order since June
exciting! hope you get it soon!

Hey Mia! I already have mayco colored glazes. Can I mix them together to test and create new colors? Like 1/2 blue 1/2 white to see what can come out?

How much water would I use if I was making a five gallon batch?
Is that glaze a food-save? How can I find the best brand for food pottery
Thanks for a great video! One question: what happens if you try to use dipping glazes for painting on? can it work ok?
They dont usually spread so well, but
you can use them to make dots or loose lines. Try it out! ☺️

@@nadizzle100 That is true!

@@PotterytothePeople Danke dir. Ich glaube ich werde sie dann erstmal ohne sieben testen, außer es steht drauf.
my porcelain glaze was 1+1 but after dipping really thick......
Is that what u call a stain
