About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of sieving glazes and various preparation methods in ceramics.

Glaze preparation is a necessary part of the ceramic process, but have you ever wondered why sieving glazes is important? Today the gang talk about various ways to prepare a glaze and why you might not need to sieve as much as you think.
