Kate,
>> So...there appears to be a bit of a trick in glazing, after you've
bisque fired the pots. Zamek says you can dip, pour, spray or brush the
glaze on...but others have had problems losing the dendritic aspect of the
design. He doesn't mention any problems in this process, nor have any of
the books or articles I've looked at. <<
I think this technique was originally developed with a very stiff glaze
called a "Bristol Glaze". In any case, I think you need to use a glaze that
will not move very much and won't "eat up" the finer details of your design.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that
we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." --U.S. President (and Nobel Peace Prize winner) Theodore
Roosevelt.
