I glazed the sculpture. It took a lot longer than I initially thought it would. The point was to colour the sculpture better (after it'd been hardened in the kiln). We were to rub the mixture onto the sculpture, in all the "nooks and crannies," and then use water to rub it off to quite an extent, depending on how bright or dark we wanted it to turn out. The nooks and crannies however, would be hard to get the water into, and therefore they would stay darker - the sculpture would have more varying in colour and look more textured.
I didn't know how far to wash the glazing off, and had to ask classmates who had had previous experience. I thought it was done, but then I was told that the sculpture would end up quite dark if I let it dry in the state it was in. I had to take a quite a long time after that still rubbing the glazing off.
It was a very messy procedure and there was glazing and water everywhere. I had to wear rubber gloves to stop it getting on my hands because it could stain skin.
