This was so extremely helpful!! I learned so much about glazes! I am a newbie, and am learning through videos. Thank you for all the time put into these!!
Karan, I love your videos. Please tell me what tape did you use to make your design on the outside of your pots. Was this the tape you used with whiteboard on your amazon website? Thanks again, I really appreciate these videos because I am a would be potter!! At 78 I am really enjoying taking pottery classes, mostly handbuilding, at my local community college. It is actually therapy for me especially because we are in the middle of a pandemic.
Hi JoEllen- they’re Coyote- you can order directly from Coyote or through a supplier. I most often purchase through my local supplier- Cornell Studio Supply. I follow the Coyote program on their website- fire to cone 5 with a 25 min hold!
I had a terrible art teacher in high school who made me feel very inadequate and discouraged when it came to art. He wouldn't give us any creative freedom and if you asked to try something he would doubt you and not offer guidance. His instruction was always tinged with a tone of annoyance and condescendence. Because my partner is a ceramics artist I have rekindled my relationship with art as an adult and we now have a full on ceramics studio in our home. Watching your videos is like getting the art education I always wish I had. Your students are lucky to have you and you are so kind to upload your content for everyone.
I am sorry you had a negative experience. That just makes me sad when I see kids stifled. My goal is to give the kids a little interest, and a little bit of passion so they will always have an appreciation of the media, even if they never touch it again!!
Thank you so much. I will save this video for reference. This was like a whole semester of glaze study in one video. You have such energy that comes across the entire video. It is contagious!!!
This comment section is full of well-deserved praise, so I'm not going to add much, but THANK YOU! This is an incredible reference for anyone wondering how glazes might interact.
Thank you so much for this. You've done an amazing job: everything so clearly explained. It's much appreciated. I especially like the shino and steel grey shino combo. Lovely.
You are a clear, effective, concise communicator, your videos are focused and dense with info, and your presentation style is suited both to your students and potters of any age. Kudos on the series of videos demonstrating glaze combos and your refreshingly authoritative comments in each case. Your efforts are well worth the time and attention. Your students, and we, are lucky for your care and enthusiasm. You are the type of teacher people remember fondly and appreciate years later. Many, many thanks.
Hello from Naukati Bay Alaska. I am an Intensive SpEd Aide for our small school here and stumbled across your videos. I wanted to thank you so much for all the hard work you put in for your students. This was an amazing set of videos! You took the time to show all these different techniques and colors, but then went the extra mile to actually show what time on the last video it corresponds with! You are an amazing teacher and don't ever forget it! 💜
I’m taking ceramics in my senior year of high school. Thank you so much for your informational videos, it really means a lot to me and I’m starting to love ceramics! Also all the pieces came out so lovely 😍😊
YOU ARE FABULOUS!! I’m 72 and in love with ceramics, now taking beginner class at college, I just wish you were my teacher, your explanations are short and clear and fortunately we can now pause the video to take it all in lol. Thank you so much for your great work
Fabulous video. I have learned so much from your 28 glaze techniques. I am new to pottery and doing just handbuilding. Glazes are still a mystery but you have helped so much with your two videos. Thank you. Beautiful work!
Nicely done. Really, really well done. The explanations are clear, thorough, and very helpful. I watched part one and have been awaiting the reveal. The commitment to making a well produced video is commendable and greatly appreciated. I’ll certainly be trying the Texas Two Step glazes, as well as the Shinos. Thank you!
Thank you for this information. I really appreciate it especially because you filmed the whole process including the specific dip, pour, or brush on application AND the final glazed result. I will use this as an important reference material in my studio.
Wow, this is so incredibly helpful! You have gone above and beyond for your students, and it brings tears to my eyes when I think of what a light you and your class must have been to so many students this past year, and always. Thank you so much for all that you do- it’s clear you are an incredible teacher. 💗💗💗
I just learned more in glazing than I have have all year in my pottery classes! You went far and beyond in these videos and you are a great teacher. Thanks!
Wow. Thanks so much for sharing this - my wife and I loved your first video and this second was so satisfying and educational. Your students must be so proud to have such a wonderful teacher!
These were both such fun videos to watch and learn from. Thanks for sharing. I struggle with glazing. But now I’m inspired to try a glaze that is spotted like marshmallow or to try black under another glaze. Fun!!
As a ceramics teacher myself I applaud you for all the time you took to put this video together and for your generous and helpful instruction. What a gracious offering. Thank you!
Very clear, informative, and helpful - thank you. I have to say though (not your fault!) that the names these glaze companies use are downright embarrassing. And commercial glazes somehow always look like commercial glazes, which must have to do with their composition for stability, firing range, etc.. I try to formulate my own.
Lol- yes, some of the names are funny!! I appreciate the formulating of one's personal glazes... just isn't conducive to my circumstance and time constraints at school! :)
Thank you so much for generously sharing your knowledge and time. I'm a newbie and I really appreciate what you have done here for students. I'll bet you are the "favorite teacher" of many of your high schoolers. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for sharing these! I have been looking for a good glaze video as a beginner! You are so organized and you are wonderful to listen to! Thank you again!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge & work. Your videos have been a wonderful resource throughout my pottery journey. I always look forward to the clear explanations & professionalism in each of your videos.
i didn´t even know that there are so many ways to glaze! my favourite is nr. 13, subtle yet stunning, and you picked the perfect colours for a harmonious contrast
Wow - I appreciate your time in filming and editing these two videos!! I absolutely know how long it takes. Great content- very helpful- thanks. My channel isn't up to your ratings but I'm getting there. I'm based in England 🇬🇧 on the South Coast. 😁
I just wanted to say thank you, for providing so much useful information! I just started taking pottery classes this January, for the first time. I"m 53 years young. The instructor I have is lovely. But, he's not always the best at explaining things in layman's terms. I got a lot out of your Part 1 glazing video. I'm here now to see how the pieces turned out. I've learned so much about technique and terminology from you already. I appreciate you taking the time to educate not just your lucky students. But also the rest of us.
Your videos are so useful Karan, especially this one and the other one when you glazed the bowls. I really enjoyed your daily distraction videos during the summer too. Thank you so much.
Thank you SO much for this video. I had just started pottery when the pandemic hit and have been teaching myself since. I don’t really have anyone that I can ask questions to so glazing has been incredibly difficult. This video has helped me understand so much about how glazes interact and can be applied! Thanks for sticking it in quick videos with tons of techniques, this is great for me to refer back to when I’m in the studio!
:-) Beautiful!! Your two part video is PURE GOLD! Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. I am a new potter and this video & part one, have been EXTREMELY helpful! You are amazing!
I love your videos. I'm a recently retired pre-school teacher finding my way around my newly found ceramics hobby. Hand building at the moment, and I purchased a small 8x6 Skut firebox to fire my smaller pieces. Lots to learn. Thank you for the great and informative videos. I've been quarantining with you. Question: when my glaze doesn't come out as I like, is there a method to re-glazing and re-firing a piece? I've heard putting hairspray on a vitrified piece before applying another layer of glaze helps keep the glaze from slipping off. Is that a myth? Will you demonstrate some multiple re-firings of works, please? Thank you!
You are a GOD! I watched the first series and loved it, but wanted to see the finished pieces and here they are! I'm a Special Ed Art Teacher K-12 and work with pottery often. Always looking to mix it up for students and your tutorials are simple and straight forward. THANK YOU!
As a newcomer, for the last 8 months, to pottery classes I have found this video and the previous one really helpful. I love my classes so thank you for some great ideas.
Thanks so very much! Your videos are clear, detailed and an excellent pace. I learn a lot from them. Keep up the inspiration! Your students are fortunate to have you instructing them!
Hi Karen, I just wanted to say thank you for such wonderful and informative videos. I am a student at NKU earning my Art Education degree with a focus in ceramics and not only do your videos demonstrate excellent teaching skills, but they have helped me an enormous amount as I navigate my ceramic classes. Thank you!!
You my dear are an excellent teacher straight to the point with very thoughtful invested lessons. Bravo to an awesome teacher. The students are lucky to have you.
I may have missed it in a previous video but what type of clay are you using? I know you said it was "grogged" but I didn't hear what kind? I'm starting a refresher course next month as I haven't thrown or fired anything since college (+20yrs) but I want to eventually make stoneware "style" pieces like the discontinued Monroe Saltworks pieces. (I live in Maine and my friend's Mom worked there and designed & made the raven series, I have most of the Collection but can't replace broken pieces. She has shown me the patterns and I'm going to try to recreate similar pieces to add to my collection🥴.) The studio I'll be at uses BMIX 5 and Laguna #60 stoneware. No red clay bodies, and fires to Cone 5 in 2/10cuft electric kilns.

This is so incredibly helpful and beautifuly laid out. You went the extra mile with the labels- the organization is super helpful visually
What an incredible resource you’ve made. You’re so clearly a teacher who loves ceramics and loves teaching. Your kids are very lucky to have you.
I appreciate the hard work u have done it’s nice to see the glazes actually on a pot. Randy
Now that I’ve seen results I want to watch application video again
This was so extremely helpful!! I learned so much about glazes! I am a newbie, and am learning through videos. Thank you for all the time put into these!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing this with clarity.
Amazing video!! Can't wait to try the wax resist dots and the skinny tape under glaze!!
Your students are very lucky!
Karan, I love your videos. Please tell me what tape did you use to make your design on the outside of your pots. Was this the tape you used with whiteboard on your amazon website?

Very helpful and informative. Are these fired to cone 5? and where do you get your glazes?

I want you to be MY pottery teacher, I love this!

i love handbuilding. glazes are complicated for me too. i’m still learning.
I appreciate our presentation greatly. It filled in many holes in my understanding of glazes and techniques. Your efforts are commendable. Thank you!
Nicely done. Really, really well done. The explanations are clear, thorough, and very helpful. I watched part one and have been awaiting the reveal.

What kind of clay do you use in class? It’s beautiful and thanks for the tutorial!!
This is grade triple-A educational material, thanks!
I second that!
sick video.....i love the tape over mountain scene 😍

You are so creative and Organized! My HS students enjoyed your video and we have a lot of 1 gal coyote glazes to play with, Thank You!!
This taught me so much. I have enough left in my budget to order nine 1gal Coyote glazes. Which would you say are your favorite?
Oooooh- let’s see. Only 9!? Probably these: Shino, steel gray shino, light Shino, croc blue or blue shino, alabaster satin, desert sage, black, gunmetal green, espresso bean
Wow. You’re the best. Really, I knew I was doing the most absolutely basic methods. I’m excited for post-COVID ceramics :). Thank you
Amazing results! Thank you so much for sharing, very helpful🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video! Super informative channel for beginner potters all around.
Thanks! This was great to watch during lockdown. I miss pottery.
Thank you so much for this fantastic overview of glazing results. I appreciate your work enormously.
