Loren Lukens
I’ve been mesmerised by the glaze work of Loren Lukens!  Isn’t this gorgeous!  How does he get all that detail and the mix of those gorgeous colours?  I was wishing I could just talk to him and ask him questions!   So I emailed him!!! Yikes!  You never know if people will be helpful, flattered or annoyed!  But Loren sent me a lovely email and wonderful advice!!!

Here is what Loren Lukens said in his reply email to me:
Hi Marian,
The key to successfully spraying glazes is adequate screening of the
materials. This should be done right before you spray.  I store my glazes in
empty soda bottles, shake them up and screen them through a tea strainer
directly into my sprayer bottle.  I use a couple of small airbrushes for
accent glazes, but my main choice in sprayers is the Iwata RG-3 with a .6 mm
tip.  These are professional quality spray guns and cost a couple of hundred
dollars apiece ( I have 6 of them).  If I were doing it again I would buy
HarborFreight mini spray guns for $20 apiece.  They aren’t as good but so
much cheaper.
Have fun!
Loren
