Shoe Polish Glazing Technique!

      Today we used a clear shinny glaze for our coil bowls and then we used shoe polish for our owls! I have never used shoe polish before, but it turned out great! The shoe polish is dark in the cracks but then a nice lighter shade on the rest of the ceramic owls. After the polish dries, we are going to spray a clear coat of paint over the owls to make them more shinny.

      This technique of coloring projects was very different than they were used to but the kids had a lot of fun trying something new.  This technique is fast because there is no need to do a glaze fire. This allows the students to take their projects home faster. It is also less expensive compared to buying glazes!
