Glazing is a critical step in porcelain sculpture creation, but improper application—whether too much or too little—can lead to significant flaws. Over-glazing risks include cracking, bubbling, or an overly glossy surface that obscures details. Excess glaze may also drip during firing, ruining the sculpture's base or kiln shelf. Under-glazing, on the other hand, often results in a weak, porous finish prone to chipping or staining. Insufficient glaze can leave the sculpture vulnerable to moisture absorption, compromising its durability. Additionally, uneven glaze thickness may cause color inconsistencies or thermal stress cracks during cooling. For optimal results, artists must carefully measure glaze viscosity and apply multiple thin layers, ensuring even coverage without excess buildup. Testing on small samples before final firing is highly recommended to avoid irreversible damage. Mastering glaze balance preserves both aesthetics and structural integrity in porcelain art.
