$10 Glaze Sprayer for Ceramics

[@denisenoble4010]

Hi, I've just brought myself one of those and also just found your channel, so this video will be perfect for me to learn from an expert, so over to you, your videos are amazing, can't wait to try this technique. Thanks for sharing

[@brittanybattaglia6779]

I’m living for that mulch scene and the plant montage

[@CeramicJim]

Thanks Brittany! I had a lot of fun making it. Slo mo makes everything better!

[@d.jensen5153]

Thanks!! Just ordered an $8 atomizer. This afternoon I'll remove the front hub from a well-weathered kiddie bike and make a banding wheel. (I knew there was a reason I kept that piece of 1990's memorabilia. :)

[@CeramicJim]

Haha. Yes! I love taking apart old junk to make new toys. Diy pottery tools all the way!

[@gabiglaezer8685]

I have one of those sprayers, never used it but will now after seeing your video, thanks lots!

[@CeramicJim]

It a best bang for your buck kind of tool. And you can get pretty creative with it

[@Handmadebygas]

Hey Jim, I recently cam across your channel and loved what you offer. From Nerikomi and Agateware new to both as well as pottery. Still waiting patiently on my own kiln. So for now just gathering ideas and living vicariously thro all of you. thanks for sharing. Also can't wait to try out those salt shakers, thanks for sharing the video on those.. I saw them recently and was intrigued - so you can imagine my excitement when you had them AND shared a video for us - love!!!

[@CeramicJim]

Thank you!

[@CeramicJim]

A kiln and a wheel got me started.

[@jpgolan1944]

Thanks! You can put the sprayed piece on a pedestal or leg, this will allow you to reach the base much easier

[@CeramicJim]

Thanks for the tip!

[@bobm2331]

Jim, did you clear glaze over underglaze as greenware or underglaze/greenware bisque, THEN did the clear glaze to cone? Nicely done. Think I'll try the atomizer. Nice for small jobs.

[@CeramicJim]

I’m pretty sure I underglaze and glazed and bisqueware. I can’t see myself doing anything else as I’ve only done a handful of once firings and I never liked doing heavy coats of underglaze and greenware in case the moisture causes cracks or if I want to restart.

[@lilymayer5444]

God I wish you were in NYC and could give me private lessons. I hand built mostly and I really need help with throwing and centering!

[@CeramicJim]

That’s flattering of you to say. Who knows! Maybe some day our paths will cross.

[@____Ann____]

My ceramic supplier sells atomizers for the leaves of plants. Works fine and you can wear your dust mask at the same time. 10$.

[@CeramicJim]

Thanks kind of awesome. Thanks for sharing, Ann!

[@endeen9274]

Great idea.. Just wondering.. what are the pro/cons of spraying glaze vs colour slip?

[@CeramicJim]

Cons for both is that it’s messier and consumes more. Pros is you can blend and it’s very even. You can vary the distance to actually build texture with a glaze. For slips you could just brush them too and it would likely be fine or almost as good but aside from dripping, spraying a glaze is the best way to get an even coat. Or layer thin layers of glaze.

[@endeen9274]

@@CeramicJim thanks.. will get a 200ml one.. looking to use coloured slip.. 😊

[@yaayaa95]

Hey, I wonder if you could rig one of those up with an air mattress pump... I may just investigate haha

[@CeramicJim]

yaayaa95 That sounds like it just might work... and I happen to have one. I may try that out myself haha!

[@yashwantartwork195]

Sir ye spray gan kaha milega iska praish kiya hii

[@denysephenix2349]

very nice to watch

[@CeramicJim]

Thank you Denyse!

[@c.a.greene8395]

Can use use this by hooking up to a air pump?

[@CeramicJim]

Yeah I don’t see why not. May have to fiddle with the pressure to get it right.

[@CeramicJim]

I’ve attached it to a bike pump before. It was a hand powered one but it worked.

[@c.a.greene8395]

@@CeramicJim thank you for your very quick reply. 👍

[@savageart100]

amazing ideas your super clever.....

[@CeramicJim]

Sometimes I am👍🏻

[@caritouu12]

What is a glaze, what materials are in it? by any chance have you done glaze also, besides clay?

[@CeramicJim]

There are a variety of materials and every glaze can vary greatly. I make my own glazes.

[@MrTomlette]

I've always seen a mask recommended in case you're using airbrush no matter what type of paint you're using, wouldn't the same situation apply here, even though it's literally not feasible due to having to blow? Or maybe the device is too weak to create too many particles floating in the air?

[@crimsonarrow]

Had this question as well. On top of that I was curious whether or not you could use one of those balloon/hand pumps instead as well.

[@LZ2ME]

These airbrushes are known to…. not be great for your lung health in the ceramics community.

[@AllFlamesNoGamesAFNG]

hey mr fozio its miles from bower I like your vidos

[@CeramicJim]

Thanks Miles. Hope your art classes are super fun this year!

[@waterking19]

Are you using a can of compressed air with the atomizer?

[@CeramicJim]

I haven’t yet. Just human power. A small compressor would definitely make it easier for longer spray sessions.

[@CeramicJim]

I’m just blowing air very quickly. If it sounds like I’m using a can it’s because I’m building up air in my mouth before I release the pressure built up into the straw.

Great! 👍 snap fire 😸🔝

My favorite way to fire clay ;)

[@lilymayer5444]

I’m wondering why no paint comes out of the giant hole?

[@CeramicJim]

I’m not sure I know what you mean. Can you explain?

[@installer18yrs]

Gravity feed sprayer from Harbor Freight $14.95

[@CeramicJim]

Requires a compressor right?

[@installer18yrs]

@@CeramicJim yes

[@shenanigans8apeach]
