How I make fun ceramic glaze test tiles, getting creative

This video shows how I make various shapes to test different ceramic glaze recipes. I also used brushing, dipping, and spraying to apply the glaze to the test tiles. This is an important step to select an ideal glaze for my ceramic sculptures. I hope to share the process with you and enjoy the glaze testing process.
