Marie - I love your instruction and your videos. Thank you so much for doing what you do for those of us learning the craft.
You are so welcome! I'm glad to help. 😍
I AM SOOOO EXCITED!! I tried the 1st mug glazes AAAAAAND it WORKED!! Thank you so much!! I so appreciate your videos!!
You're welcome Tori. That's Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know 🤗
I love your videos so dirly. Those mugs are GOURGEOUS!!! And i like this combo videos. So many posibilitys!! Bey
Thank you so much!! I know it's endless 😍
Missed your videos! Glad you are back.
Thank you! 😍
Those are beautiful Marie, I can't decide which one I like the best! 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow your mugs are gorgeous 😍. Those colors really play well together ❤️
Thank you! 🤗 I was surprised by the Albany Slip Brown and Textured Turquoise. Pretty cool. 👍😊
Beautiful mugs! I like the first one.
Glad you like them! Thank you 😊
I will try all three of these glaze combinations because they are so Beautiful!
Wonderful! Thank you Terry
These Amaco Glazes ALWAYS work. I just tried one glaze on a Sauerkraut pot and it looked amazing just by itself. I just ordered another couple of those brush on glazes. They are fantastic if you are not into mixing your own or if you don't have the space in your studio. These glazes are already fully developed and nobody needs to do research or learn chemistry in order to have a great surface.
Yes Andreas, So true. I love Amaco Glazes 👍😊 The only Amaco glaze I have had problems with is the clear glaze. That is why I had to switch to to speedball clear.
You are almost at 20k!!!! Wow. That is amazing
It's because of wonderful potters like you. Thank you Kat 😍
LOVE this!!! 😍😍😍😍😍❤
Thank you 👍😍
Great, I love the second Mug with Albany 😃
Thanks Petra. 😊
@@PotteryCrafters Great explanations and videos 👍🏻 I will try all of it
That's Great Petra. Glad they are Helpful. Not sure if you know, but there are over 100 videos of pottery information for you to choose from. Here is the link for you. th-cam.com/users/PotteryCraftersvideos😊
I’m going to try the lovely blues on Mug 1. They will look great on a small bowl I’ve made.
Sounds great! I love that combination
Very nice and Perfect
Thank you so much 😀
Hi Marie! Love your glazing results, especially the indigo float mug. Thank you again! I also saw some other lovely mugs when you opened your kiln! Question -- do you ever just glaze different layers in bands or patterns on your mugs?
Thank you MaryJean 😍 Yes I have. I love the results of the bands also. 😊
Very good
Thank You
Hi Marie, As always, great tips and color combos. Are you using a slow cone 5 or medium cone 5? Any hold times? Thank you.
Thank you Janet. Always nice to hear from you. I Fired at medium speed and yes for that firing I put a 10 minute hold. 😊
I’m new to ceramics so I hope these questions don’t seem to basic.What is it that causes the banding when you covered the whole mug with each color? Would you get the same affect with a different companies glazes like mayco? Would you get a different affect if you applied the colors in a different order? Would you get a different affect if firing at a different cone?
All questions are good questions. We are all here to learn and get ideas from each other.
There are glazes that are stable and glazes that flow. When applying glazes, make sure you know if they flow or float or if they stay in place (are sable).
Different glazes will react differently with different clay bodies. That is why making test tiles and test firing your glazes to see how the clay and glaze react with each other.
Yes, you would get a different effect if you glaze colors in different orders. Glazing can be so much fun.
This article should help. Here is the link for you. potterycrafters.com/how-to-choose-pottery-glaze/ 😊
This was my first time watching a video about glazing. You are so clear and helpful. I am at a school that fires to cone 06. Will the results be totally different from cone 5? Thanks!
Hi Cherie. Thank you. Yes you would have to use a low fire glaze. Look for a cone 06 flowing glaze to get similar results because the glaze will have to have a lower melting temperature to flow.
Hello Marie,
I'm new to teaching ceramics in my high school. I'm excited I came across your videos. I'm definitetly going to share them with my students and colleagues. I was wondering if you could tell me where I could find the strainer you used as well as the bowls. I'm always looking for ways to make the studio better for the students as well as us teachers. If you have any suggestions on how to create and display test tiles (like the Amaco glaze charts), I'm open to it. And if you have any other suggestions to make a high school studio space better I would love to hear it all. Thank you!!
That is wonderful, Leeza. So excited for you. Here is the link for the strainer geni.us/SHph9t. I don't have a video for test tiles yet. That is a great suggestion. I will let you know when I do. Here is a link for my studio setup video th-cam.com/video/qvsoGw7q7mM/w-d-xo.html and an article potterycrafters.com/home-pottery-studio-set-up-guide/
If you have any other questions feel free to ask .😊
Hi Leeza. Hope everything is going well with your students. I am in the middle of making a test tile video, but unfortunately, it is taking longer than I wanted to. So here are a few tips that may help until I get the test tile video out. Make sure you number your test tiles on the bottom with a dot tool and write the recipe with the number in a notebook or computer file. make sure they stand up in the kiln. Add a hole on the top of the test tile in case you want to hang them up. Keep the bad ones, so you do not duplicate the recipe or combination later on. Hope this helps. Happy Glazing!!
I really like your video and your voice
Thank you so much. These Glazes are recommended to be fired between cone 5 and 6. The highest I have fired them to is 1222 ℃ (cone 6) 1240℃ would be cone 7. You could do a test tile and see what happens.
Beautyful Marie 🤩
Thank you Sylvie !! 🤗
All three glaze color combinations are great! Do you test the combinations on small pieces to see which ones work together?
Thank you Art. 😊 Yes I do that also, especially with a glaze I have never used before.
Hi those glazes are gorgeous. I had a question, I’m new to ceramics, I make jewelry pendants beads and charms. What glazes would you recommend for small pieces with some texture. I just can’t seem to get the colors I want or I get too many drips. I’m using mid fire amaco glazes on little loafers clay and firing to cone 6. Thanks so much for all the videos! I should call you Mrs bob ross! You have the same calm voice. Thanks again
Amanda
That is great, Amanda. welcome to the world of crafting jewelry with clay. It is a little hard to suggest without seeing the pendants, but I would recommend Albany slip brown, Iron luster. They break beautifully to create different colors. I fire to cone 5 and put a 20-minute hold on at the end. It is equivalent to cone 6 but allows the glaze to cure better at the end. This really helps me with pin holes because I like to use a lot of glaze when I layer. Thank you for the compliment. Bob Ross was one of a kind. No one was able to fill his shoes. Not even his son. 💖
Wow. Great combinations. Have you experimented with any Mayco glazes? My local pottery supply was having trouble keeping Amaco in stock.
Thank you very much. Yes I am using more Spectrum, Laguna, and Mayco Glazes. 😊👍
Great
Thank You 😊
Hey so i didn't know that we could apply multiple glazes at the same time . Because for example some glazes mention 3 coats so do we repeat every glaze 3 times, am quite new to this and learning form TH-cam, please do help me on this 😊
Hi Pearl. Welcome to the fun world of crafting pottery. That is a good question. Yes, you can layer, and I have layered up to 6 coats with no issues. Which also depends on the thickness of the applications. The directions say 3 coats because the directions are for one color. You can't have too many coats on your pottery because it will be too thick. On the other hand, you don't want the glaze to be too thin.
Here is a link to glazing tips that will be helpful for you potterycrafters.com/glazing-pottery-27-glazing-tips-for-beginners/ 😊
I am new to the pottery world- did you put a clear glaze over the combo? I really want to try the 1st mug- Thank you
Welcome to the wonderful world of crafting pottery. Sorry I could not reply sooner I just came back from vacation.😊
No those are all just Amaco glazes. When they fire the glaze vitrifies and turns glass like.
Have you ever used Duncan Glazes and Underglazes. My instructor uses and sells Duncan products in class. I like the Concepts and Easy Stroke Underglazes, and I use Duncan clear glaze (the one that looks green in the jar). I used Amaco products in school as a kid.
Yes, I have. I like Duncan underglazes. I use speedball clear glaze because I get no pinholes or crazing from it. Thanks for the suggestion. I will try Duncan Clear Glaze 👍
I followed your instructions except I did not wipe the glaze off the bottom ring of the mug. It is in the kiln stilted along with other club members work. It has not been fired yet. What should I do?
Hi Anita. If it is already in the kiln there isn't much you can do. Since it is stilted I think you should be ok. If there is any uneven glaze on the bottom you can always grind it off. Let me know how it turns out.
Hi, This is amazing. Am watching all your videos and gathering information and knowledge. Thanks for shearing. Sad thing is there no place to buy a kiln in Sri Lanka.
Thank you Nadeeshan. That is too bad. This post may help. Here is the Link for you. potterycrafters.com/do-you-need-a-kiln-to-glaze-pottery/ 😊
@@PotteryCrafters These articles are very useful. I'll go through one by one. Thanks,
That is great. I hope it will help you to continue to craft pottery.
Hi Marie,. You had poured the glaze inside of the bisqueware.can we not brush the inside either?
Hi Meenu. Yes, absolutely you can. I found pouring gives me a nice, even smooth coat on the inside with no streak marks. Plus, it saves time instead of applying three coats. 😊
Thank you so much for this educational video. I will definitely try these combinations. When you pour the Amaco glaze inside the mugs do you dilute it with water first? I heard that brush on glazes has gum in them to make them thicker and easier to brush on. So when pouring them , are they a bit too think?
Thank you. Very good question. No, I don't water them down I just make sure the glaze I use is not too thick. I have had great success with pouring. It's quicker, easier, and has a smoother coat inside. 😊
@@PotteryCrafters thank you for getting back to me. I am gonna try it . I love Amaco glazes
Great let me how it turns out if you have time.
@@PotteryCrafters I will. Thanks again
Hi Marie. Your glazing techniques are awesume. I have been using some glazes as a beginner but I was disappointed to hear that the ancient copper is discontinued. Could you tell me if there is a substitute for AC? Most appreciated.
Thank you. So far no. I will look into for you.
@@PotteryCrafters thank you Marie.
HI. What colors of glazes not to combine together? Because they flow down, because they do not penetrate each other?
Good question. Celadon glazes are stable and wouldn't flow. When the label says flow, float or any other way of saying the glaze moves you will have to be careful when using those glazes alone or even separate if applied thick.
Hi! What do you do with goo left over in the strainer? Curious minds want to know!😬😀
Great question. I tap the strainer and collect the glaze from the other side of the strainer to waste as less as I can. (glaze is gold) and throw the rest away. 😊
Amazing lady
Thank you Very Much! 😊
I have all the glazes excpt artic blue. I guess ill do some shoping
That's great Allen! Amazon and Blick Arts are finally carrying it again. Here's the link if you need it geni.us/OXl7 😊
Hi fOr how long yOu fire then in the kiln? Is the gLaze food safe?
Hi, I fire to cone 5 then do a 20 minute hold at the end of the fire. My 818 Skutt kiln takes 8 and half hours. Yes the glaze is food safe.
I'm going to try all 3 combinations. Are they all food safe?
That's great. Good question. Yes they are. Just make sure the label says food safe on the glazes you choose.
Thank you again for this video. Today I am going to try that first combination. Can I send you a picture of the result please
Hi Shontal, you sure can. Just go to potterycrafters.com and go to contact us. Email me and let me know you will be sending the picture and I will email you back so you can send the picture when it is finished.
@@PotteryCrafters thank you. I will 😃
Look forward to seeing it. 😊
How do you determine your color combinations?
Hi Linda. That's a good question. I will get ideas from pottery that I have seen and do test tiles. This way, I find out how much glaze I can apply and which glazes run more than others. Here is a link to my test tile video th-cam.com/video/HQiEbNw8NkU/w-d-xo.html and another one I did from 3 different test tiles. th-cam.com/video/yk77b-JSf3Y/w-d-xo.html 😊
Hi Marie, is there a reason that you do three coats of glazes outside but only one time of pouring inside?
Hi. Yes that is a very good question. Because pouring is equivalate to 3 good coats of glaze. Plus the inside turns out nice and smooth and saves a lot of time. 😊
Thank you, Marie! Your videos are SO helpful. Appreciate you! @@PotteryCrafters
I’m in serious need of help What type of fire glaze would I use for a clay pipe? 😭
A fellow potter made one and used cone 5-6 glaze. The glaze can withstand temperatures of 2200 F
How many pieces can I glaze with 1 pint glaze bottle??
That's a good question Nayomi. About 8 pieces with 3 coats each. But this will very depending upon how big your pieces are.
💯💯💖💖💖
Thank you Anastasia 😊
Marie, I have a question. Have you tried those Amaco glazes on cone 6 porcelain?
Hi Michelle. Yes I have they turned out beautifully. I used to use Cone 6 porcelain a lot. But went to the Amaco #11 because it throws great on the wheel. I am venturing out more and trying other glazes again.
@@PotteryCrafters I'm using some Cone 6 Porcelain, and I'm having problems with pinging and crazing - Amaco glazes. I'm planning on making a mess of test tiles for this!
That is a good idea. The pinging and crazing is because the clay and glaze are not expanding contracting together. I had that happen to me with Laguna porcelain 5
Will you tell me why you wear gloves when handling bisque ware?
That's a good question. I use lotion a lot and I have ruined a few pieces because I got it on my bisqueware. The lotion is like wax resist and repelled the glaze. So now I make sure I wash my hands really well or wear gloves. 😊
@@PotteryCrafters Thank you for the response. I'm a huge fan of your videos. You have helped me a lot.
Thank you. So happy to help you on your pottery crafting journey. 😊
I loved your demo but could you repeat the glazes colors when showing the completed pots. It would be helpful. This way I don’t have to go back and watch the video again. Thanks.
Hi Eileen. Thank you. And Thank you for the suggestion. 😊
holy cow you used 40 dollars of glaze for 4 mugs! why didn't they run?
Cara from Amaco said they kept telling her to apply the glaze thicker. Thicker glaze application works best for me too. 😊
