I have been looking all day for a video as informative as this was! Being a beginner, it was just what I was looking for.
Happy to help!
Loved that you touched upon the safety aspect of working with clay and glazes! So often that topic is overlooked
Hi, would the paint-on glaze be food safe? Thank you
Ritmo, it doesnt depend on HOW you apply it. The container of glaze you have will tell you whether or not it is food safe :)
Love your content 💞 Could you please also make a video about dip glazings? I don't know what to buy, how much and what's important when it comes to it.
Cheers
will do! ❤️ thanks for the idea!
The topic on temperatures was interesting and new to me. The consequences of wrong glaze/clay temperatures was fascinating & useful.
I suspect the topic is a little deeper. It would also be good to know what other ranges there are (you mention cone 6) and what results those give.
When browsing a variety of pottery I see some are left bare / non-glazed. I was curious if this is hygienic for food/drink usage.
I’ll make notes on the stages of fires clay too. You mention Bisque, then …. (Finished?).
It would be good to know what other terms potters use too. Like “ceramic”.
And ‘stoneware’ clay and glaze - must the terminology match, or can you get other types of glaze within the same temperature range?
Dipping glaze being powder in liquid - that’s fascinating. Does that not dry quickly and allow transporting soon; or ways to lay them down?
Safety. Love to know what more you need in your studio. And special air extraction systems?
Do your hands suffer from touching wet clay all day? Do you protect them?
Great information. Thanks.
Hello! Coming to this video late bit was hoping you could advise 🤞🏼🙏🏼💛 - bought lovely stoneware mug from supermarket, and bottom inside rim/edge looks and feels like its missed glazing process... Is this ok and food/drink safe ? Or do I need to chuck it or try some home glazing for touch up ?
Could you do a lecture about using glaze to do images on pottery
Hi! I was just given a really old manual kiln and I am hoping to use it soon (if it still works)! I am kind of lost when it comes to things like firing temps and stages and just the firing process in general, so a video on that stuff would be really helpful. Thanks for all your informative videos!
I know you talk about firing in a different video too, but I thought it would be cool to see a live demonstration of the full process.
That's a great idea, thanks!
I'd love to know how to deal at home with powdered glaze, how to make them.
Also, the process of drying the objects. I mean, how can we tell when is leather hard, how long to wait, if is good to put object close to heat or hot air. For example I thought I had some pieces leather hard, but after few days I went there and they were producing humidity inside the plastic bag where I store them, and other produced mold too.
Thank you!
Yes this please!
Great idea! I will cover the clay stages :)
but leatherhard pieces are still wet, so for sure they will be producing humidity.
I read somewhere, a long time ago, that adding a drop of food coloring ( different color for each coat, which burn off in the firing imparting no color to glaze) when glazing, insures even coats. Is this a valid technique?
Do you have to bisque fire before glazing? And if not, how long should you let the clay piece dry before glazing and then firing
Yes, you have to bisque fire any piece before using glaze or underglaze on it. One exception: engobe is applied on still wet-ish greenware, so before it is bone dry and gets bisque fired.
Hi, thanks for a great video! I still haven't fired my oven and I'm really scared to ruin my ovenplates. I was therefore wondering is it possible to take just a flat piece of clay and put it under your piece to protect the ovenplate from the glaze?
And the other question is: if you make some kind plate to put under is it then possible to fire it again or would something break if you put in twice in the oven at a high temperature?
Its a good question! Potters do that all the time! We call them cookies. 😄 You can keep firing them until they get glaze stuck on them. Or they break 😆 I just roll them out with a rolling pin and cut with a cookie cutter.
I’d love a demonstration on making a hand built cone shape. Especially one that closes at the top (like for a pine tree).
You’re awesome I love your page thank you! I’m going to look for something on wet sanding pieces before glazing if you have anything like that? Otherwise I’d love any info you have if you have the time :)
Can I use a colored glaze and top it with a transparent one afterwards? For safety
You are doing a fantastic job, thanks so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge ...i took part in one of your workshops and i loved it. Can you show how to hand made a cup...and if you recommend mini wheels (cheap ones) for home just to practice for beginners?:)
Thanks for your kind words! I will definitely do more cups. About the wheel, the cheapest one I would trust is a tabletop Shimpo that goes for around 500e. There's a lot of very cheap wheels for sale online and I've mostly heard disappointed stories. Wheels are an investment, for sure!
i want to make a maroccan birdbath with blue decor on a white base. I have already biscuit-baked the bath. Can I first put 3 layers of white glaze (I have fluid Botz antique white) and then put three layers of blue decoration also by Botz?
Can I glaze and leave in room temperature to dry ? Will it shine?
No? Glaze melts in the kiln like glass, you still need to dry it but it's not going to get shiny just by sitting all chalky like that
Hello!! Thank you for your videos. I came across 2 pieces (decorative pieces) of plain bisque. Can I paint with chalkpaint?
Great ! What if I have an object on the piece ( sun for example) can I paint it with one colour glaze ( yellow for example) and the rest of the piece another colour ( blue for example) ? Like if I’m colouring a picture.
Thank you so very much for your video and explanations! Do you have any recomendations or ideas for transport especially when you have a lot of pieces? Because of covid i have to glaze at home for the first time and then i need to bring my pieces to the school where the kiln is by bus...and these Flüssigglasuren seem to be a nice option. But i guess even with this glaze the pieces should better not touch. Am i right? All the best to you and Peanut from Köln
My studio uses veggie crates such as strawberries transport in as they are sturdy cardboard. I like to use crumbled up plastic between my pieces as it cushions them and does not mess with the glaze. My friend uses tissue paper or paper towels. If glazes touch, sometimes you will end up with one chipping onto its neighbor. Be sure bottoms are clean so kiln loader is not thinking bad things during loading,
Hallo! Yes I would definitely use Flüssigglasuren for glazing pots that you have to transport. I would just tuck some newspaper around them, because the glazes might rub off onto each other. Liebe Grüße aus Berlin
I love that brush
Very through and extremely helpful. Thank you
Can you add embellishments to pieces that have already been glazed? What kind of embellishments last longer?
I went to my local art store and asked for the clay, underglaze and glaze BUT I noticed that my clay is supposed to be fired at a higher temperature than the underglaze and glaze, so my question is: can I bisque fire the clay with the right higher temperature and after that paint it and glaze it and then fire it again to the lower temperature of the glazing material? otherwise I just spent a ton of money in something that can't even be used together (:
Clay and glaze must match so if its a mid fire clay you have to use mid fire glazes there is no mix and match glaze and clays
Can you Fire glaze pottery Is an irregular pitfire
Can you make a video how to dispose of the glaze water and waste pls
This was really good. I learned a lot ! Thank you
would you need to put your piece in the kiln before and after glazing it or can it simply be after?
Hello, thank you for the videos! I wonder if it is possible to paint the ceramic with acrylic paint and then glaze it transparent to make it food safe? Or do we need to color the ceramic only with glazes themselves?
My question too. Pity you didn't get an answer 😕
@@chloespetservices It will burn out. Underglazes can be used on bisque-ware and then covered with a clear high fire glaze. This will make it food safe
can you teach us how to make square pots 😊
Hi Maya! thanks so much for sharing your knowledge it's been really helpful.
I'm transitioning from earthenware to stoneware but i don't really get the 'underglaze and glaze topic" for stoneware. can i use the same for both? do i need underglaze in stoneware? and if not how can i paint my piece? just with glaze? Lol
hope you can help me out
All underglazes and glazes should be fired to a certain temperature. Same for your clay. Just get glazes/underglazes that match the temperature you will be firing your earthenware clay. The temperature will be different for earthenware and stoneware, but sometimes underglazes work for both.
Do you need to underglaze your greenware piece before bisque firing? will this alter the look of the clay afterwards?
You can do it either or. I some times underglaze on greenware
Can you make and glaze a plate without kiln?
no sorry!
did you use a brushing medium
Stef Bos
Can you tell me in wich fil you made the oanel on wich you are working on?
Thanks for taking the effort.
Greetings, Stef
I don't understand your question?
Hi , my daughter passed away. My grandma did urns when I was a kid. I'm rusty. I don't have a kiln. I had a friend make a basic urn for me to paint. Her hands are ate up with deforming ra. Anyway I want to paint it. It doesn't have glaze. It is basic to create as I wish. However it's a very important piece to me. How can I glaze it, and paint it. I don't have a kiln. I didn't have money for my daughter funeral. I couldn't buy a professional one. Is there a away I can create a pretty urn without expensive equipment.
try to rent one from a local potter. good luck! ❤️
Must the clay be fired before painted? Can the clay be baked at 500 then painted then fired? I am planning to use a wood burning kiln.
Not necessarily. It all depends on your clay. I suggest you ask these questions to the person in charge of the kiln :)
Hi, great video. I've been wanting to start some projects at home and I have a lot of questions about how to glaze my pieces - this was very helpful. Could you also clarify if the piece needs to be bisque fired necessarily? For ex. Could I make my piece, paint with the glaze that fits my clay temperatures and directly fire it at 1250?
Look up "single-fire ceramics"-- the answer is YES you can do it, but it's a bit complicated ;)
Hi, can I also glaze my dried pieces without the bisque firing?
yes!
yes!
Can you glaze pottery on a regular Pit fire
i dont know. i dont do pit firing. sorry!
If I want to draw something with glazes and then to use a clear gloss glaze on top, is that fine or the clear gloss glaze will blend the other glazes beneath?
It depends on the specific glaze you're using. Make a test!
Can you use flower pots without the glaze firing and when only bisque fired?
You definitely don't need to glaze them, but I would still fire the clay to completion, because bisque is very fragile.
@@PotterytothePeople Do I have to fire it on high temperatures like 1200°C or is it OK just to fire in the range of the temperarture the manufacturer specifies?
If you have to leave the bottom unglazed how to you glaze a spoon ? Do you only glaze the top of it ? :)
Yes exactly. I talk a little about this in my spoon video: th-cam.com/video/hntMDmgT_7E/w-d-xo.html
Great video thank you.
is there a way to glaze the bottom ? i'm making a sculpture and would like to whole thing to be glazed
Yes! Look up kiln stilts :)
@@PotterytothePeople thank you so much!
Make a video about how to paint-on Engobe please :)
Teapot please
Can you layer glazes? 🤔
Thanks you so much for you video's, they are really helpfull! Soon I want to make a ceramic mug for the first time in my life at home, and fire it at a local ceramic store. I was wondering if you could give some more information about foodsafe glaze, if it differs much from 'normal' glaze and how to use that. And I also read some things about raw glazing, do you have some info about that as well? That would probably save me some money by only needing to pay for firing once. I hope you can help me! :-)
All commercial glazes should have info on the package about whether they are food-safe or not. As for raw glazing look up "single fire ceramics". I don't have any experience with this myself.
@@PotterytothePeople thanks for your response, I will look it up :-)
had to laugh when you said not to ask about something you know nothing about, very relatable also thanks for the tips on home glazing.
Gießton gießen, Tauchglasuren und was man da beachten muss, Tipps und Tricks, die man nicht unbedingt in Büchern findet.
If its not Air dont breath it in :D
Can you glaze clay by just leaving it to air dry before?
Look up "single-fire ceramics"-- the answer is YES you can do it, but it's a bit complicated ;)
