- I just love the look of Glaze Drips on a pot, don't you? Seeing the way that the glaze pools and flows. This video is a step-by-step of how I layer glazes to create beautiful glaze drips. I hope you enjoy watching and please let me know if you have any questions in the comments below, subscribe to my channel and don't forget to give me a thumbs up ;). Thanks for watching!
Clay used to throw wine tumblers:
Plainsman Clay M390 and fired to Cone 04 Bisque. Final glaze fire was fired to Cone 6 in a manual kiln - 15 minute hold - and slow cool.
GLAZES USED:
Mayco's Winter Wood, Abalone and Lavender Mist.
Many of you have asked about glazing BRUSHES since I've published this video so thought I'd add this until I am able to do a more in depth video on tools, but I think this should hold you over. Some of the brushes that you see me use in my videos are from various Pottery Supply Stores, I have since purchased some from Amazon and Art Stores etc. and tested them out to see how much I like them...so far I'm impressed. I am sharing my Amazon Link with you for some brushes that I have purchased myself and quite like.

Thank you finally someone who explains everything for a beginner ❤
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!!
Very interesting and informative. Just getting into pottery and glazing. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the look of the drips! I will definitely be trying that! Great tutorial!!
Thank you Julie!
Thank you so much for taking the time to record your process. It is so very helpful! BRAVO!
Thank you Danielle! 🥰🥰🥰
You are going to be awesome.. it's the trainer in you to share this new adventure!!
Aww thanks Sabrina! It’s scary putting yourself out there. Often second guessing myself but then I said “just do it” . Thanks for your support!
Neat! Very artistic and creative! Love the work on your shelves too.
Thank you!!!
Those cookies with the elevated center are a great idea! Nice video.
Thank you Victoria! I can’t take credit for the cookies, I got the idea from Old Forge Creations. Thanks for watching too ;) cheers!
thank you for such a great content-filled video. I have struggled with Lavender Mist and just haven't found anything to work with it...will certainly try it now with WW..... I too love that dark clay, have been using Brown Bear for a lil bit and cannot get enough of it! Thank you for the effort and time it takes to make such great videos!
Thank you for your kind words! It makes my effort worth it!
So cool! Thanks for making this video for mere peasants at pottery like me!
Hi Stutz! Thank you for watching my videos! I hope you were able to get some value from my content. Remember, we all start somewhere. Keep practicing! 😉
Well presented fun to listen to. Love the elevated cookies I’m going to throw some this week. I use my own dipping glazes but I am going to try some commercial ones with them. I will need those elevated cookies for sure. Thanks for the tip.
They are so helpful. I also used kiln shelf post (½ inch) and that too has been a saviour though it doesn't necessarily prevent the glaze from fusing with your kiln shelf, but I does raise the pot up quite a bit that most of the time the drips won't hit the shelf. It's worth a shot if you don't have enough glaze catchers! I can't take credit for the idea of the raised cookies it really is Old Forge Creations idea, or at least that's where I got it from ;) thanks for watching!
They came out great! 👍🏻✨
thank you!
Thank you for this! Glazing is one of those areas that I struggle with, as I think many fledgling potters do. You've given me some ideas...and now I have to buy some of that clay! LOL
Your tumblers are beautiful.
Thanks you!! If you can get your hands on this clay do it!! You’ll love it!!! 🤩🤩🤩
That raised cookie is awesome idea!!
Oh it will change your world! I’m glad you liked it though it’s wasn’t my idea I got it from old forge creations. Check out his channel 😉
Awesome colors!!! New potter and subscriber here. So can’t wait to learn more.
Welcome to the pottery family!! You’re gonna love it!
absolutely love!!!
Thank you Jada!
Old forge beat me to it. Was just thinking of raised kiln cookie today. Great minds think alike! Love the vid
Thank you Jodie!!
Love it, definitely going to try this one.
Thanks!! And let me know how it turns out for you!!
Love the drips! Also like idea of cookie so you don’t mess shelf up. 😊
Thank you Dena!
I need more of these drippy videos in my life 😊
I’ve been working on some, as you can probably tell I just love the drips…I just need time to edit…did you see my marble mug video? That was a pretty juicy glaze combo and it produced a couple of drips 🤤
I’ve seen all of them! Haha love these videos. Especially the glaze combos, drippy glazed, dark clay bodies, and kiln openings :)
@@downevergreenlane awesome! I’ve been working on getting inventory up 😵💫😵💫😵💫and not so much on editing…but with that said I’m definitely going to film the kiln openings and get those out. 😊😊
I like the drips, very nice
Thank you Rex!
I love Them! Ty for sharing!
Thank you!!
Looks great!!
Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for the info!!
Thanks Amber! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hey Sarah! Love this. I've used some Laguna Electric Brown Clay and glazes are disappearing in it. I'm going to try this combo next. Just pulled a pot out this morning with this combo but with Mayco Blue Opal instead of the Lavender. AMAZING. The lavender mist alone on the dark clay disappeared and broke white in a carved texture. Hope to see more videos soon. Love your style.
Hi Miranda! Thank you!! I’m working on getting back into the studio and filming. I’ve had some family issues ‘rear it’s ugly’ head again so I’ve been focusing on that, but missing the studio and my clay time..and happy place 🤭
I have Blue Opal so maybe I’ll give your combo a go! Thanks again for your kind words and encouragement! 🤗
@@SarahWaltonPottery I hope everything starts looking up for you! Give it a go. I think you could put any color over Winter Wood and it would look awesome.
Beautiful, great amazinngg
Thank you Cat 🙏🙏
thank you for sharing❤
You are so welcome!!
Wish I was so relaxed as you glazing. I’m a Big Dipper
I'm glad I came across that way! Usually when I glaze I have some show on Netflix playing which keeps me company and relaxed, but when I'm recording a video I feel a little less organized because I'm learning/remembering camera angles etc. Thanks for the encouraging words ;)
Going to try this on a cauldron for Halloween with potters choice palladium and mayco enchanted forest.... let's hope I get the look I csn see in my head
That sounds so nice! Eat me know how it works out, maybe I’ll try it too ;)
Here for the drip!
Thanks Megan!
Thank you for you video
You're most welcome! ;)
Fantastic. I just subscribed. Greetings from Indianapolis Indiana
Hello Indiana, I love hearing where people are viewing me from! Thank you for introducing yourself and subscribing John!!
I am a advancedotter 15 yrs.
Advanced potter beginner.. I have been in a gallery in Arizona selling.
@@homebrewer7 How nice to have a gallery to showcase your work! That's awesome John!
Very nice Sarah i'm new one in potery fans and i love to créate
Thank you Robert! I’m so glad you enjoyed my video and pottery! Welcome to the pottery world, it’s such a rewarding art form you’re going to love!!
@@SarahWaltonPottery I agree thank you for your video.
Fantastic! Thank you!!! 💗🙏🏻🌷
Thank you sooo much Gabriela! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Everyone, do you have a favourite drippy glaze combo that you will share?
Chelsea Loft! 😃
Mayco Alabaster x 3 coats, then add swips of Raspberry Mist, Norse Blue, Purple Gloss in bands or swooshes but make sure that all of the chosen covering glazes completely cover the alabaster. Cone 5 fire (10 min hold?) results in amazing movement
Sounds spectacular! I’ve been meaning to get raspberry mist and experiment with it! Alabaster as a base coat will coax out beautiful movement, similar to sea salt, but I haven’t tried Purple Gloss, sounds like an amazing combo! Thanks for the suggestion 😉
Thanks for the video a lot of helpful info, what clay bodie is the burgundy? I would love to throw with it
Thank you! The clay body is a Canadian brand, Plainsman Clay M390. It is sooo nice to throw with! Thank you for watching!
Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!!!! Paula, this is so kind of you!! 🥰
@@SarahWaltonPottery Thanks to YOU!!! You put so much hard work into the videos and I’m learning so much from you and the content you put out there. Just a little token of appreciation. You are one of my teachers on my newfound pottery journey. I so appreciate what you do 🙏
@@paulaabeta 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Thank you for the amazing tutorial ❤️ Would these be considered "dishwasher safe" since no glaze was used on the bottom half of the cups?
Hi Tonja, thank you! And yes they are dishwasher safe as well as microwave safe too. Darker clays can get hotter due to the iron content. Once the pot goes thru the final firing it’s vitrified. Note..Clay that is not glazed should not be in touch with food so you’d want to make sure that your pot has glaze on the inside. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
So I’m assuming the dripping happens during the firing process? This video was super helpful! Thank you!
You are most welcome I’m so pleased that it was helpful…Yes, during the glaze fire, the glazes become liquid/molten and can begin to move and flow..some glazes are stable and don’t move, some move when layered with other glazes…so lots of trial and error in achieving the desired finish.
I absolutely love how your glaze runs so beautifully. I’m really struggling. I’m new to pottery having started about 6 mos ago. My glaze that I think should turn out this pretty greenish blue blending of colors turns out brown?? It’s oatmeal and iron luster. I’m getting scared to open my kiln 🤣. Do you have any suggestions because I need all the help I can get. Thanks
Hi Donna! Yep glazing can be sooooo frustrating, I can feel your pain!! I’ve had, as many potters have had similar problems, it takes years sometimes to find combo that work with they clay body you’re working with. The “kiln gods” are sometimes not very kind. You say that iron litre and oatmeal were Turing out brown, oatmeal is going to make a sort of creamy flow to whatever it’s paired with..I’m wondering if maybe your coats are too thin with iron luster then thinned even more with the flow of oatmeal. It could also be the temp of the kiln and or where in the kiln it sits. Did you see my refired video? Amazingly different results just getting the right temp. Also, instead of ruining your pieces of work make test tiles and fire them with different glaze combos that will save you a ton of frustration and you’ll learn as you go! I promise one thing for sure…it will get better!! 🤗🤗
Thanks so much for the encouragement. I think the kiln temp might be the culprit. I’ll try witness cones in my firing today. Did you deglaze the bowl or just fire again? I’m also gonna try your technique with the wavy glaze application. Thanks for the help and keep the videos coming.
@@donnacarter4236 all I did was put it back in the kiln as is. Because I had an under fire the glazes needed more heat work. Btw I refired that dark blue bowl..I wish I hadn’t bcuz I got major pinholes when it got to cone 6..that glaze and clay combo seemed to prefer a cooler kiln, 😣 oh well live and learn. I may fire it again and put it on a cooler shelf. 🤞this is what I love about ceramics, trying different things and when it works out, what a great feeling!! Hope this helps!
Looks gorgeous!
Btw, Abalone rhymes with baloney…😊
Yes someone else told me that too…how embarrassing..I said it soooo many times too😬🤓oh well live and learn..thank you, I appreciate it so I don’t keep making the same mistake!! Thanks for watching too!! 😊😊
Hi! Great video thank you. I would like to add this effect to my pottery but I don’t understand if it can done with any glaze once we apply a thick layer or if we need to use specific glaze.
Would you be able to clarify?
Hi Menina! Thank you and thanks for your question. Not all glazes will give you a drippy effect, even if applied thick, sometimes certain glazes just bubble and pinhole..not a good look. This is where testing comes in, I strongly encourage that you test glazes and layering of glazes to see which gives you the effect your looking for. Glazing, in my opinion, can be the most frustrating part of pottery because your results change drastically in some cases by which glaze you use as a base glaze and which you layer on top. Temperature of the kiln, where in the kiln something is, if a hold is put on the firing etc. There are glazes that will cause glazes to run, Oatmeal by Potters Choice, Light and Dark Flux by Mayco, one of my faves is Archie’s Base by Coyote. Check out my video Glazing Bottles for Beginners I show some more detail on glazing and I use Archie’s Base. I’m sorry that this is a long-winded answer but there’s is no yes/no solution to your question. Lots of potters keep they’re glazes secret because it can take years of trial and error to perfect what they do. The reason for my channel is just that. I want to share and learn as I go along. Hope this helps🤞🙏😊
Hello! I can't work with high fire/stoneware clay because in my city there aren't any places where they fire high fire clay. I only work with white earthenware. My doubt is, is it possible to layer the glazes and creating the dips by adding clear glaze on the parts that aren't glazed? Because I use earthenware I can't leave any places unglazed but I wanted to try the dips!
Hummm, Interesting circumstances. As I'm not familiar with low fire earthenware I'm going to have to guess. Firstly, I'd strongly suggest making test tiles and experiment on those pieces rather than on a finished piece. Some glazes are very stable and little to no movement, others require layering in order to get drips and some are just runners when applied on the heavy side. I've had glazes dribble and or move into a base glaze...so my guess is anything is possible. Test, test, test! I hope this helps!
Do you need to (clear?) glaze the clay on the bottom half? Or does the second firing make it food safe/water resistant? Great technique and beautiful results!
Hi, because the unglazed part of the pot is on the outside and not in contact with food it’s totally fine to expose the stoneware, the glazed surface is totally food safe, dishwasher and microwave safe. The second firing vitrifies the clay so it’s no longer porous..but all surfaces that are in contact with food must be glazed with food safe glasses. Hope this answers your question…and thank you!
@@SarahWaltonPottery awesome thank you!
Hi Sarah! Love the rich clay colour after firing and that drips! May I ask if Plainsman M390 is similar type of clay to Terracotta clay or Red clay? I cannot find any supply in UK for Plainsman...Thank you
Hi Karyn! Thank you so much! The Plainsman clay is different from Terracotta/red clay. I found this article digitalfire.com/glossary/terra+cotta I hope explains it better. I’d ask your pottery supplier for some guidance on a good choice of a rich red firing clay body..and pleas share with me so I can pass the info along if someone else asks!
@@SarahWaltonPottery Hi Sarah, thanks to the link. I had asked my studio tutor, she cannot think of any red clay that is close to Plainsman M390...But I found Scarva Earthstone Professional PF690 Red Stoneware seems to produce the closest colour fire @ Cone 9. Check it out. Can you demonstrate a throw or hand build using Plainsman clay M390, please? Just keen to understand better about this un-usual clay :-) Many Thanks in advance.
Hi Karyn, I will do a video throwing M390 for you. I’ve been out of my studio most of the summer but am heading back any day now and will begin producing new video! So your suggestion is helpful! Thank you for the clay recommendation too I will check it out! Thanks 😊
@@SarahWaltonPottery That will be lovely! Many thanks and look forward the demo soon! :-)
Thanks for this! What brush is that ‘? I’ve tried a few and either bristles fall out or super sparse thanks again ❤
Hi Sabrina, I'm using Amaco #8 fan brush. if you cant find that you can use 'mop brush' with a natural soft bristle brush...I often use amzn.to/3oMAnIu from amazon. It's not a fan brush but they are great for glazing! I have this exact set.
🙏🌸
Hi! Have you done with regular cool instead of slow cool for this glaze combo? Did you see a lot of difference if you have? Thank you!
Hi! I have a manual kiln, there are times that I will do a hold but in this instance my kiln shut off and cooled naturally. I always get consistent results whenever I layer these glazes. Let me know how it works out for you? 😊
@@SarahWaltonPottery Great to know! Thank you so much!
i have a question. wont the orange glaze be washed away with the wet sponge at 4:59 ? or is it dry and cant be washed out?
Hi! So sorry it's taken me so long to answer your question. Thank you for sending me the time stamp so I know exactly what you meant by the orange glaze. The orange colour is the bare bisque fired clay which will fire to the deep burgundy colour after the final firing. The bottom of these pots don't have any glaze on them, so no, I'm not washing it off. What I'm doing is removing glaze off the bottom (finger prints, glaze splashes etc) and making sure that the glaze line in strong to help encourage the glaze drips in the glaze fire. I hope this makes sense. Let me know, please!
Hi Sarah, I am from a small town in Alberta and I am thinking of running some ceramic evenings here, something my Grandmother used to do, we have a couple kilns in the senior centre. Is there a place you know about where you can purchase the actual pottery to paint? thanks so much, take care!
Hi Rhonda, what a wonderful idea and a great way to keep people creating! I honestly don’t know where to get pre-made pottery. I know there used to be a place in my town that you could go in and paint pottery but they closed down a couple of years ago. I wish I could remember the name of the business bcuz that could be a great start. Sorry about that, and good luck. If I do get a lead I’ll let you know!
What brand and bristle do you use for your fan brush?
Hi Suzanne, these brushes are from Amaco, it’s a natural bristle but I’m not exactly sure what kind they use.
So, which one is the one that creates the dripping effect?
Hi Linda, to answer your question it’s the combination of both. Both glazes don’t move much on there own but when layered together that creates the drips. Also, Winter Wood as a base glaze creates a lot of movement with many glazes that you layer in top. Hope this answers your question…thanks for watching!!
Could you please help or recommend a low fire glaze for red clay or terracotta
Hi Haida, I wish I could but I don’t have experience low fire or terracotta, my suggestions wouldn’t be much use to you. Sorry
@@SarahWaltonPottery that's alright thanks for answering
Could you use this glaze on a metal mug? I am curious!
Humm, good question. I’m going to go out on a limb and say no. These glazes are designed to work with ceramics not metal, even though they have a similar melting point.
What kind of clay is the burgandy one?
Hi Danielle! This is a Plainsman Clay called M390. It’s a beautiful clay to work with, and it’s manufactured in Alberta Canada. 😉
Great video. Just fyi, the e is not silent on abalone. Its pronounced like abaloney
Yikes, how embarrassing! Thank you Gretchen, I appreciate the correction.
@@SarahWaltonPottery I bet you dont live at the beach. You did pronounce it phonetically so no need to be embarrassed.
@@cayucosstorylady thanks I feel a little bit better :)
You didn’t need to fire the tumblers?
I’m sorry I’m not sure I understand your question exactly..when I am apply glaze that is in bisque ware. Which has gone through the first firing ^04. Once your piece has gone thru this initial furring it is ready to absorb glaze, which is what you see me applying. Once all the glaze is applied it goes through another firing at an even hotter temperature ^6 which is the final result. I hope I answered your question. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Is clay glaze made?
Hi, I’m not sure I understand your question. I use commercial glazes that manufactured in North America.
The editing/movement of the camera is really weird and distracting. Content is good but i couldn't keep watching 😓
I'm sorry that you found it distracting. This was my first video/editing and I'm still learning how to film. I appreciate your feedback and will try and learn from it. Also, the quality didn't upload well, I had filmed in 1080p but it uploaded at a much lesser quality. Again, I apologize, try, fail, learn...try again has been my mantra..thank you again.
Helpful video, however I cringe every time you say abalone. (the final e is pronounced eh)
Whoops! Thank you Jack! :)
The vid is too low rez to discern any subtlety.
I know! I’m sorry, it was my first video that I uploaded and even though I filmed in 1080p it didn’t upload properly. I have figured it out now but didn’t want to delete and start again. Hope you checked out my other videos they posted at the proper resolution.
