On behave of expertvillage.com it's time to glaze our bowl. Before we do that now, we have to mix up our glaze. I already know what glaze I want. Have to mix it up really well. If if you don't mix it up good enough, it it just won't come out the way they, the way it's supposed to. You can never mix up a glaze too much. So let's glaze our bowl. Now I've got wax down here, and if I touch it, wax is gonna transfer to my fingers, so I have to be real careful where I, where I put my hand and grab another pot. So I'm gonna go ahead and do this. So our glaze is all mixed up. This is a blue glaze by the way, looks brown, but I'mma go ahead and pour this in here, I want the whole inside to be the same color. Ok? And I slowly start pouring it out, 'tis kinda tricky. Turn it, turn it, turn it. I'm gonna stop right there. We didn't get enough, no big deal. Grab some more glaze, pour it right in there. It can be a little bit thicker on the inside because it's not goin' anywhere. If it runs, it's not gonna run under the glaze shelf. So that's, when it's finished it's gonna be blue, with some red in it. Haha
