I am a high school student in Ceramics IV. I am experimenting with
different raku glazes and would like to make a matt glaze into a gloss
glaze. Is there anyway that I can do this?? One glaze in peticular that I
would like to change to gloss glaze is Hines Patina. The glaze is listed
below. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciated it. Thanks for
you time and effort.

Dear Curtis
You can not really do that because the color and the opacity and the
texture are homogenous - change one property you change them all.
What I gather is you wish to maintain the color and opacity of the glaze
with a shiny surface. The way to go is to spray a stable ( non runny) clear
glaze on top - the thinnest of coats.
This is quite a usual practice with Raku. However the glaze may still be
unaceptabul. Do not make too much of it if nothing works. Acceptence !!
