I have a simple question. Do glazes freeze? This weekend I will be mixing up a batch or two of glazes and here in Tennessee the weather finally turned and it's COLD out in garage/studio. Will I need to bring them in and store them in the laundry room until I need to actually glaze some pots?
Also, does anyone have an opinion on dry-mixing or not before adding the H20? Is it neccesary? Thanks

Yup, they freeze.

Physics is physics, without a heat source, clay and glazes will conform
over time to their surrounding ambient temperature. Water in glaze AND
clay will convert to a solid. That can pose a problem if you want to
use it with the water in liquid form right away. AND EVEN if it is
liquid, it will be COLD stuff.

Yes, but it doesn't matter much. Just stir 'em
up after they thaw, no problem.

Dry-mixing will guarantee a more even distribution
of materials, and it's handy when using bentonite
to have it stirred through instead of in a clump
when the water hits it, but it's not really essential
to dry mix.

Paul asks:> Do glazes freeze?<
The water in the glaze freezes. If there are soluble materials in the
glaze that go into solution with the water, they may become part of
the solid. Materials that remain in suspension with the water will be
bound in the ice.
>Also, does anyone have an opinion on dry-mixing or not before adding the H20?<
That would be one solution to your freezing & storage issue.
