Applause!! Applause!! You are simply out of this world. I love artistic talent, skills and most of all your generosity for sharing it. Thank you so much.
Aww....thanks so much!! Im glad you enjoyed it. When I was decorating this,...at the last minute I decided to add the bees. I was thinking that I demonstrated the bees in one of my videos already, but I just went back and looked at the video where I thought it was and i didnt find it. It may be that I demonstrated it in one of the projects for my Workshop Series. They are very easy with just a brushstroke where the brush has the intense yellow and the bright red loaded on it. Then when that is dry, you paint black stripes over top of it. then paint lines on the wings, outline and fill in the head with black.
I saw Joe Thompson use it when he was throwing and wanted to try it to make straight lines for decorating. I was pleased to see how easy it made things. 🙂
Really enjoyed this video Ann, I’ve been making pottery for years and done lots of underglaze painting, but it’s still always nice to see someone else do it, you can always pick up a new tip and it’s so motivating! Thankyou for sharing x
Great video and lovely work. One of the biggest takeaway here is to use multiple colors at one time in your brush. It makes such a more dynamic finished piece.
These are great tips and incredibly helpful! Even the comment about holding your breath makes so much sense! I am super excited to try this out! Thanks so much Ann! Would love more of these kinds of tutorials! 💜 Happy Easter! 🐣🐰
Thank you for another great tutorial! You make it seem so easy - you may have given me enough confidence to try. Of course I’ll need to watch this a few more times… 😊
I have been backtracking and binge watching your videos for months and have learned so much! I watched one about using mason stains to color clay & slip, and have become very interested in doing some sgraffito through several varying layers of color. I am wondering if you do Raku, and if you can give information about what different things such as using Miracle-Gro, sugar, or whatever other additives can be used to cause interesting effects on the finish during the process. I have seen other artists using feathers, horsehair, sawdust, straw, literally all kinds of things in a process where the pieces are individually wrapped in aluminum foil to create beautiful effects. Do you use any of these methods & would you consider making a video on "how to"? I love that your videos take us step-by-step through each process, and would really like to know your thoughts, opinions, and ideas on these subjects. Thanks!
Hey! Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad you are enjoying our videos!! I also love the look and am intrigued by the ideas of the different effects created by Raku and pit firings and have participated in a couple of these firings when I was in school, but I havent really delved down the raku path since then. Im not as much into the pyrotechnic part of pottery, then creating my own patterns, textures and designs on the clay. I actually did do an experiment in one of my videos where I took out a hot piece of pottery from the kiln and did the horsehair technique but with my own hair :-). That is as far as I have experimented with it in my own studio 🙂
This is so beautiful! And your tutorial makes it much easier than it looks! THANK YOU!!! I am curious about the finishing steps. It looks like the Spectrum Chamois is above and below the design. I believe Spectrum Chamois is also an underglaze? I think you said it was applied after the bisque firing. What is the purpose of applying it to bisque? Also, wondering where you used the white liner? I use white liner on the inside of functional pieces to make them food safe/dinnerware safe and I assume you do the same? Lastly, I wonder if you cover underglaze with a food safe/dinnerware safe glaze before the final firing? And is covering underglaze required on the outside of a vessel?
I believe Spectrum Chamois is also an underglaze? Not sure about that. I think you said it was applied after the bisque firing. Yes, I apply after bisque like most glazes.

Check out my Underglaze Painting 101 video to see how I use my white liner - (its free) I use white liner on the inside of functional pieces to make them food safe/dinnerware safe and I assume you do the same? (sometimes yes) Lastly, I wonder if you cover underglaze with a food safe/dinnerware safe glaze before the final firing? (no, not needed - after its fired its food safe) And is covering underglaze required on the outside of a vessel? Nope - no need to cover underglaze - i prefer not to in many cases.
Hey William. It depends what kind of effect I am going for. If I want a watercolor or striated look, one coat is fine. If I want a solid coat, three layers is needed. The trick is to not use clear glaze over thinly painted underglaze or it will look streaky. I glaze around it. It takes longer but I love the look. I have a workshop series on Vimeo if you want to see more detailed information about how I paint and glaze, William. Tahnks for watching!!
I absolutely love watching you videos!!! When you load a brush with two or three colors how do you know you have used enough underglaze in that one stroke so the color is vibrant enough? Also when you add a color over colors that were already painted on are you going to get what you see or will it fired to combine the underglazes to make a variation of the color? If you add water to underglaze that was painted on is that what it will more resemble when you add a clear glaze? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!
I could write a couple chapters on your questions - a lot of it comes down to experience. I do have some videos on painting (1/.5 - 2 hours long) that are part of my Workshop Series that might help - links in description. Thanks.
@@LittleStreetPottery Is one of your video geared more towards a novice with layering underglazes and mixing underglazes etc. I truly look forward to watching your you tube videos; you cover such a crazy amount of topics!! I am certain that you Vimeo Videos will be amazing!!!!
Ann, if you said it, I missed it a couple times watching this over. I'm interested in trying this and have used underglaze mostly on greenware that I then carve through. For these painting techniques are you using bisqued pieces or greenware? I'd like to do water color washes and I fire to cone 10. Do you know if any of the velvet underglazes burn out at cone 10?
I most always paint on greenware (easier to fix mistakes) - I fire to cone 5 typically, Ive not fired them higher than 6. I would try some test tiles to see how they tolerate cone 10 - let us know what you find. Thanks.
Hey There. Actually, I.bisque fired it to cone 04 and then high fired it to cone 5 with a 4 minute hold. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for watching !!!!
Are you working on low fire or high fure clay? I noticed you fired 04 then glazed at 5 or 6 Where can I find the thin brush you mentioned was for nails?
This may be a silly question… but what is the difference between under glaze painting and just like painting ceramics at a store that will fire it for you?
Applause!! Applause!! You are simply out of this world. I love artistic talent, skills and most of all your generosity for sharing it. Thank you so much.
that is s o sweet Evelyn! thanks so much!!!
Thank you, Ann! You explain everything so well! I’d love to see you do the bees, too!! ❤

I would have never thought of a laser level! What a great idea! ❤️🤗🐝

@@LittleStreetPottery Thank you so much for answering ALL my questions! 😛 Really appreciate your help and your work!
Thanks so much for this lovely video. Do you normally only use one heavy coat of underglaze when decorating?
yes most of the time...

wonderful video! thanks for sharing your experience. Now I understand how to draw thin lines :) . do you have synthetic brushes?
Yep - we have a link in the description for the ones I use and they are very affordable synth brushes.

Would makeup brushes work as well or better?
Have not tried it but depending on the bristle strength, they might - try it out!
Ann you said you fired it at cone 5 bisque. Did you mean 05?
Hey There. Actually, I.bisque fired it to cone 04 and then high fired it to cone 5 with a 4 minute hold. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for watching !!!!
