- Ceramic glaze making tutorial. I show how to safely measure and mix a cone six glaze. I discuss storage of glaze materials and keeping them dry. Also how to use a digital scale to weigh out your ingredients.
Materials and Tools:
Mask with P100 Cartridges
Digital Scale or Triple Beam Balance
Container to measure ingredients into
Scoops for Scooping out glaze materials
Big Stick or something to mix glaze with
H2O
Always wear the proper safety equipment and mix glazes in a well ventilated area!

Thanks for discussing safety. I learned (after having some health challenges) the importance of a good mask. the bigger the spec of dust, the quicker it falls to the ground. On the other hand very fine dust, or particulate tends to be too small to see and remains aloft in the studio for much longer periods of time. It also gets thrown up again when you're moving about. This very fine dust is what gets past the cilia and deep into your lungs to cause problems.
So wear a mask with Magenta P100 filters like yours. My studio is small, I keep the floor clean, but it's packed with way too much stuff, so I've taken to wearing the mask all the time in the winter when it's closed up. It has greatly reduced the tightness in my chest. It is also surprising when you wear one all the time how quickly the filters clog up, I'd say about 10 or 15 hours until the breathing resistance tells you they're done. That's astonishingly quick considering the air really doesn't seem to be dusty 99% of the time!
Also you can get that mask in black silicone which is softer. I switched from a med plastic hardware store cheaper one to a large silicone that fits me 100% better, and find I've just got used to it and it's not distracting anymore.
I was never as concerned about the dust as I should have been. ....Hint!
I love the chickens! I miss having my own. Music to my ears! I am grateful for this video. I’ve not been brave enough to mix my own but want to. I’m super excited that you’re sharing and teaching. Thank you bunches!!!
Thank You!! Love the Chickens! The safety and storage tips are the best. Nice to see someone working in the cold. Please keep it informal and tell the stories! :)
Very helpful to see this - I am new to glaze mixing. I loved the chickens and sad chipmonk story. I also had a similar experience. I am working out of the damp basement of an old art school building which has been neglected for years, so my conditions are also rustic, but suited to the work. It was reassuring to watch your entertaining presentation.
you are a good teacher.you taught me a lot about grams mixing glazes
So glad I bought one of those masks last year well before the pandemic.
Love your chickens lol. Thank you so much for showing us how to make glazes. Im learning how to make them at my local community arts and crafts center. cheers lyn
Hi Jessica, I might suggest you add the dry ingredients to a safe amount of water in a series of pours of about 1000 grams each. Stir each time and the water will take up the powder quickly. Then add water to finish. If you ever use bentonite, I shake up the dry ingredients first then the bentonite will not make a hard clump when added to water. I will always remember your now famous quote from the previous video -"You can never be to cute".
Great video, thank you for sharing your know how!
When I bought this mask I found it very good ie I managed to stay with it even in the smoke from a fire I gave fire to the rubber but I managed and breathe against the gas but I could not resist the toxic gas but I breathe with a mask and using the tube with air under water and I stayed 3 times without air and had to stay under water 2 min until I changed the tube counts as we breathe under water
Thanks Jess.
Nice video, well done and very informative. Rita :-)
brilliantly useful thanks!
Oh this is the glaze measuring video that I requested after I saw the previous video. It is just what I needed to hear. I will be making glazes this next semester and it has given me confidence at wisdom in regards to safety tips. Thanks! Loved the chickens. Any .3 masks for them? 😆
If you want to make your own glazes Mr. Dirtfarmer sells an excellent filtered hardwood ash.
Removing water from glaze: can't you put some of the thin glaze in a bowl, heat to evaporate the water, then mix back into the main batch of glaze? A pain, but would be faster and to me easier than skimming.
Jessica, what color is this glaze? Thank you for creating this video. It brought me right back to days in the ceramics studio in college. I'm planning on using some of your basic videos for my new middle school students. Your style is great, don't change a thing. :)
what is this 200 g
I’m a newbie... trying to understand how to interpret percentages to actual amounts from glaze recipes. Any tips or info on the conversion?
barb baker i need help with this too
Lex L I finally got an answer! 1 “batch” = 100grams and you just double or triple or what have you to get the amount you want to make. I have actually made and tested my first batch recently! Happy potting! :)
barb baker thank you so much!
I wish Jessica gave us her recipe for this glaze. She tells us the weight of every ingredient in the video except for whiting (calcium carbonite). Maybe I can find it somewhere else.
Hi Jessica, do you mind if I mention your videos or point to some of them in some of mine. All positive of course.
Where can I get the same ingredients if I want to mix my own?
love the henz
Oh my gosh - chickens :) love them too
Shouldnt the chickens have masks too? Great video, thanks!
What G-200 do you use?
Love ur videos ! Where do buy all glaze ingredients ? Thank u
Do you use distilled water for mixing your glazes?
I don't but where I live in Vermont I have well water which doesn't have any chemicals added to it like city water sometimes does. Distilled water is recommend but I've always just used my tap water.
@@JessicaPutnamPhillips I live in the country as well, right on Lake Superior, but when we rebuilt we were no longer allowed to use our dug well on the beach (awesome soft water and clean, filtered by sand) but had to drill a well (bedrock precambrian shield below sand and clay) and it is very hard and has bacterial iron so unfortunately have to have a water softener and iron filter). I'll have to revise a system to pump water from the lake, at least for the time when the lake is free of ice for my ceramics and my gardens.
it is funny that you can tell she is not comfortable with the metric system . who will say 4000 g?nobody! people will just say 4kg
glaze is often measured in grams, it's kinda just the way its talked about. You're right tho, but that's just how it is, ceramics is synonymous with inconsistency
