Hi Lela
What Lou said bears repeating.
I have a Talsiman seive as well. And, Lou you
are 100% correct. It does a fine job, but a
)*(*^ to clean. I just don't mix enough glazes
in large enough batches to make it worthwhile.
But, in a larger studio when mixing several
gallon batchs at a time, it would be hard to be
without.

Lela, the sieve is a Talisman - Most creramic
supply houses offer them, I
think. They are great if you are making lots of
glaze and sieving three
times, but are a pain to clean, so if you just
have a small amount of
glaze,it's easier to use a stiff paintbrush and
a standard sieve.

They are more costly in Seattle. I think about $175.00. The reason
Talisman sieves are so expensive is that they are made in New
Zealand. I was lucky enough to get a couple in a box and bring them
back from there a few years ago*. (one went to a friend) Needless
to say, they are much cheaper there. Roughly half the price.
I bought extra brushes thinking I would wear them out, but it has not
happened yet and I use it all the time. I take it outside and hose
it off. Occasionally I remove the brushes and disassemble it to give
it a really good clean, but usually the hose does it. It is a
well-made thing and fits over the large plastic buckets. Seives
glazes quickly.
*And wasn't THAT interesting when I went through customs leaving the
country. I finally had to just say that it was 'professional
machinery' to get it out of there.

Hello All,
I am reading `The Ceramic Glaze Handbook` by Mark Burleson. On page 66
there is a picture of a sieve for glazes. It is a funnel- bowl shape, with
screen. It has an adjustable crank handled attachment with 3 brushes that
get rid of clumps and force the glaze through. There is no `suppliers` page.
I can only make out the letters TAL..?? on the label.
Would anyone know where I could find such a sieve, what company makes them?
Looks like just the gadget I need.
Thanks, from Lela

Hey Lela,
The sieve you are looking for I believe is the Talisman "rotary sieve". They sell them on several supplier websites, but one I know of for sure is www.bigceramicstore.com.
Good luck!

Probably a Talisman glaze sieve. Here is one link I
found, and the description seems right.

It's a Talisman brand seive. Most larger ceramic
suppliers stock them. They're not cheap, but many
people like them well enough to pay the price.

Hello Lela
I have two solutions.
There is no doubt that talisman is the best , however 120$ feels warmer
under my pillow.
I have a rubber disc which I attach to my electric drill ( some times
without it) and it helps me pass the glaze through the sieve.
I made a X shape brush out of two.
If you can find anywhere a rounded brush. Grill a hole and attach to it a
long screw with an appropriate screw-nut. attach to the power tool and keep
the 115$ at your pillow.
In case that you will miss a bit the center it will be just better.
