Question

Choose the correct sequence of using glaze in stone ware glaze firing. A. Add colour oxide
B. Pour or spray
C. Mixing glaze materials with water
D. Allow glaze to dry
E. Prepare for Loading

• A. A, C, B, D, E
• B. C, A, B, D, E
• C. E, D, B, C, A
• D. B, A, C, D, E

Hint:

Logic Tip: You cannot apply (pour/spray) a glaze until you mix it with water. You cannot load it into the kiln until it is dry. The sequence naturally flows from mixing to drying to loading.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
The logical, physical workflow of preparing and applying a glaze in a pottery studio.
•

Step 1:
Before anything else can happen, the dry base chemicals (silica, fluxes, alumina) must be hydrated. Therefore, Mixing glaze materials with water (C) is the first step.
•

Step 2:
Once the base liquid is mixed, the potter will Add colour oxide (A) like cobalt or iron to achieve the desired hue.
•

Step 3:
With the liquid glaze fully prepared and colored, the potter will apply it to the bisque-fired pot. They will typically Pour or spray (B) (or dip) the glaze.
•

Step 4:
The freshly glazed pot is wet and fragile. The potter must Allow glaze to dry (D) completely so it does not stick to their hands or boil off water too quickly in the kiln.
•

Step 5:
Once the pots are completely dry and the bottoms are wiped clean, the potter will Prepare for Loading (E) them onto the kiln shelves. \[ \boxed{\text{(2) C, A, B, D, E}} \]
