  • This video will give you all the basics you need to know in order to glaze a pot. My glazing videos are meant for pots that are already bisque-fired, and headed for a glaze firing in an electric kiln. Everyone needs to know these basics, which is why I'm giving away the video for free!

    By far the best glazing tutorial, so unselfish. The artist is sharing so many things that she has learned through experience and repetition. A humble thank you!

    One of the best glazing tutorials I have seen. Good to have someone who only talks about glazing and not what their cat or weather is doing.

      I completely agree. And not just examples with the end result, but likewise it would be great if we could see an example every time something is explained so that you can see exactly what the cause and effect/result would be like. E.g. at one point it is explained if you dip first one half in glaze and then the other half you will get a middle part where the color is different. Right there it would have been cool with an example, so that we could see what that would look like. Also examples of why you should do it this way, because then it would turn out like so (example shown). If, on the other hand, you do it in this other way or e.g. a wrong way,, it will result in something that looks like this (another example shown).
      Hope this is a little inspiration for another video and a HUGE thank you for a wonderful and very informative video.

      You can see my finished work on my website: goodelephant.com/recent-work. But as you noted correctly, my glazes and pots will look different from everyone else’s. There’s so much variation in materials within pottery, showing the end results in this video could be more misleading than helpful.

    Excellent video! This should be required viewing in ANY ceramics class on all levels of instruction.
    For the experienced potter, a review never hurts. For the learner, this is the most clear and concise explanation of the various ways to glaze and to use wax resist that I've ever viewed. Personally, I never knew how to use hot wax so this was a plus for me. You deserve a great deal of credit for your teaching techniques: you make it look easy when we all know it is not and can be very challenging. Thank you very much for being so generous with your knowledge.

    You were born to teach! I just purchased a kiln, and was so confused about glazing. However, the more videos I watch the more confused I felt. By the time I was finished watching I had been down so many rabbit trails with the presenter that I didn't know which way was up. Thank you for this concise video. It cleared everything up!

    Very good instruction. I have been doing ceramics for over a year and struggling with glazing. No one explained in detail these techniques. I have dipped and poured and brushed but rarely satisfied with results. Agree this should be basic instruction in all beginning classes.

  • @candicedavies6310

    Thank you SO much! I've watched many videos but none were nearly as helpful as this one! Very clear, information-dense and delivered in a way that is easy to follow and understand. SUCH a delight for a neophyte like me. Agree that it would have been wonderful to see the finished products though. I'm sure they were (are) beautiful!

  • @denisenoble4010
    @denisenoble4010 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    when i first started pottery i remember finding this video and i found the information invaluable, a few years on, glazing is not my favourite part of the process and has become my nemesis. im trying to add surface texture and design that i can then simply glace by dipping. your video is still om of my favourites about glazing as you explain it so well so now ive found it again, it will stay on my watch later list. thankyou for making it less daunting than i make it out to be. x

  • @lars9415
    @lars9415 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the Video.
    In my experience, hot wax can be applied in a more fluent way to all the shown issues quite well, when is diluted by some drips of lamp oil. I never use cool wax , love the hot stuff, even as stinky as it is.. .
    Glazing should be done by pouring out quickly and fluently after pouring in, by one twist of the wrist, which could be trained, before glazing a real piece, by just using a mug and water as a dummy, till the moves, needed to be learned to cover the inside of a mug, are smooth and fluent - one can easily avoid nasty rims by this. Cleaning off rims ( just in case) could well and precisely be done with a damp sponge.

  • @SallyRoperPottery
    @SallyRoperPottery 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I am so glad to see an in-depth video about dipping glaze techniques. I use all your methods with success. My ‘duh’ moment was when you rested the pot on two dowels to pour glaze over the underside of the bowl. It will be life changing for me!!

Will have to try that one.

    Excellent video. When I want a nice line to follow for cold waxing, I take a sharp pencil and lay it flat on a table, placing the tip on my pot. Then I either move the pot around to get a line or move the pencil around. I do not like a large unglazed foot, so I use glazes that do not run and I can take the glaze down close to the edge of the foot. I also use slotted stiff spatulas to stir up my glazes.
