#pottery glaze

like/reblogs appreciated, please credit if you use!!

that red glaze is called Ancient Copper and the sparkly grey one is called Cosmic Tea Dust

These are rainbow Slap mugs. I put down a layer of enchanted forest then as I glaze other things, I SLAP the brush on top, leading to random colors. It makes Exactly the same sound as a frog in the rain. Plap.

I've updated my shop with tons of new stuff, I'll be slowly adding a few other pieces in prep for the holidays!

In today's video, I will be testing micro cerulean from Mayco Colors. All around this glaze is a denim blue that ranges from satin to glossy with varying degrees of crystal formation and crystal distinguishment from clay body to clay body. This glaze is mostly stable, with only a slight bit of downward motion that seems to pool more than run. If application is overly thick, I could see there potentially being running if you pushed the pooling over its gravitational limits. I fired my tiles on a straightforward ramp up, and natural cool down without hold. Due to the nature of crystalline forming glazes, you may be able to get more or less crystal growth with adjustments to holds and cooling speeds. This glaze performed well, though with slightly varying results across all the clay bodies I have tested today. The lovely color, stability and snowflake crystal formation make this a glaze that I am sure you can make use of in your own studio on non-food contact surfaces. Thanks for tuning in this week.
