I have a question about Shino glazes...
From what I understand, they are best applied as soon as possible after
mixed up.
Would it be practical to mix all the dry ingredients and then simply add
water to whatever amount you needed to apply? Or would you just not be
able to homogenize the dry ingredients enough to get consistent results?
Inquiring mind wants to know...

Cathi: We mix our shinos the day before and when we go to use them
again we put them back thru the Talisman screen. It seems to get the
thickness just right by remixing it. It could be just a make work
project that we do but it is our ritual.
Cheers,
tony

Depends. If you are doing a high soda ash shino, they are more
sensitive to the solubles leaving the mix. In low or no soda ash
shinos, it isn't a factor.
At Northern Clay, their shino is in a big trash can and it
seems to stay pretty good over time.
If you think your shino is getting anemic, you can add soda
ash, or pre-dip your pots.
Another way to keep consistent solubles in both shino and woodash
glaze, is by either keeping the wash water from the wood ash, or
making a soda ash solution for a pre-dip (use wash water as pre-dip),
instead of putting it in the glaze.
I sometimes use a soda ash solution, especially on inlayed
porcelain, as a stand alone pre-dip. I have added just a little neph
sye too. Like a cup full. It is good in the dry spots of a wood
kiln.

Hi Cathy,
From my experience, you can store shino glazes wet as long as you
like. An airtight lid helps, and like Tony wrote, a quick trip through
the Talisman sieve helps a lot.
So I would just mix up a big bucket of shino and glaze away. Put a lid
on it to preserve it for the next firing.
Where did you get the idea that you need to use them immediately after
mixing?
best wishes,
