I'm glad I came across that way! Usually when I glaze I have some show on Netflix playing which keeps me company and relaxed, but when I'm recording a video I feel a little less organized because I'm learning/remembering camera angles etc. Thanks for the encouraging words ;)

[@Jo81562]

Well presented fun to listen to. Love the elevated cookies I’m going to throw some this week. I use my own dipping glazes but I am going to try some commercial ones with them. I will need those elevated cookies for sure. Thanks for the tip.

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

They are so helpful. I also used kiln shelf post (½ inch) and that too has been a saviour though it doesn't necessarily prevent the glaze from fusing with your kiln shelf, but I does raise the pot up quite a bit that most of the time the drips won't hit the shelf. It's worth a shot if you don't have enough glaze catchers! I can't take credit for the idea of the raised cookies it really is Old Forge Creations idea, or at least that's where I got it from ;) thanks for watching!

Hey Sarah! Love this. I've used some Laguna Electric Brown Clay and glazes are disappearing in it. I'm going to try this combo next. Just pulled a pot out this morning with this combo but with Mayco Blue Opal instead of the Lavender. AMAZING. The lavender mist alone on the dark clay disappeared and broke white in a carved texture. Hope to see more videos soon. Love your style.

[@donnacarter4236]

I absolutely love how your glaze runs so beautifully. I’m really struggling. I’m new to pottery having started about 6 mos ago. My glaze that I think should turn out this pretty greenish blue blending of colors turns out brown?? It’s oatmeal and iron luster. I’m getting scared to open my kiln 🤣. Do you have any suggestions because I need all the help I can get. Thanks

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hi Donna! Yep glazing can be sooooo frustrating, I can feel your pain!! I’ve had, as many potters have had similar problems, it takes years sometimes to find combo that work with they clay body you’re working with. The “kiln gods” are sometimes not very kind. You say that iron litre and oatmeal were Turing out brown, oatmeal is going to make a sort of creamy flow to whatever it’s paired with..I’m wondering if maybe your coats are too thin with iron luster then thinned even more with the flow of oatmeal. It could also be the temp of the kiln and or where in the kiln it sits. Did you see my refired video? Amazingly different results just getting the right temp. Also, instead of ruining your pieces of work make test tiles and fire them with different glaze combos that will save you a ton of frustration and you’ll learn as you go! I promise one thing for sure…it will get better!! 🤗🤗

[@donnacarter4236]

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I think the kiln temp might be the culprit. I’ll try witness cones in my firing today. Did you deglaze the bowl or just fire again? I’m also gonna try your technique with the wavy glaze application. Thanks for the help and keep the videos coming.

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

@@donnacarter4236 all I did was put it back in the kiln as is. Because I had an under fire the glazes needed more heat work. Btw I refired that dark blue bowl..I wish I hadn’t bcuz I got major pinholes when it got to cone 6..that glaze and clay combo seemed to prefer a cooler kiln, 😣 oh well live and learn. I may fire it again and put it on a cooler shelf. 🤞this is what I love about ceramics, trying different things and when it works out, what a great feeling!! Hope this helps!

[@sacredalchemy3115]

So I’m assuming the dripping happens during the firing process? This video was super helpful! Thank you!

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

You are most welcome I’m so pleased that it was helpful…Yes, during the glaze fire, the glazes become liquid/molten and can begin to move and flow..some glazes are stable and don’t move, some move when layered with other glazes…so lots of trial and error in achieving the desired finish.

Thanks for this! What brush is that ‘? I’ve tried a few and either bristles fall out or super sparse thanks again ❤

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hi Sabrina, I'm using Amaco #8 fan brush. if you cant find that you can use 'mop brush' with a natural soft bristle brush...I often use amzn.to/3oMAnIu from amazon. It's not a fan brush but they are great for glazing! I have this exact set.

[@edenspatz6002]

Can you do this kind of layering over a glaze dip or does it need to be naked clay to drip?

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hi Eden! Glaze drips are a result of the glaze combo and or layering. I find to get this result is usually on bare clay. Drips do happen within a glaze layer, they typically don't look like these 'tears' its usually more of a flowing patter. I do apply clear on the bottom of many of my pieces the drip patter is just different. I hope that makes sense 🤪🥰

[@3_Cats_Pottery]

Mayco Alabaster x 3 coats, then add swips of Raspberry Mist, Norse Blue, Purple Gloss in bands or swooshes but make sure that all of the chosen covering glazes completely cover the alabaster. Cone 5 fire (10 min hold?) results in amazing movement

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Sounds spectacular! I’ve been meaning to get raspberry mist and experiment with it! Alabaster as a base coat will coax out beautiful movement, similar to sea salt, but I haven’t tried Purple Gloss, sounds like an amazing combo! Thanks for the suggestion 😉

[@inesferreira183]

Hello! I can't work with high fire/stoneware clay because in my city there aren't any places where they fire high fire clay. I only work with white earthenware. My doubt is, is it possible to layer the glazes and creating the dips by adding clear glaze on the parts that aren't glazed? Because I use earthenware I can't leave any places unglazed but I wanted to try the dips!

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hummm, Interesting circumstances. As I'm not familiar with low fire earthenware I'm going to have to guess. Firstly, I'd strongly suggest making test tiles and experiment on those pieces rather than on a finished piece. Some glazes are very stable and little to no movement, others require layering in order to get drips and some are just runners when applied on the heavy side. I've had glazes dribble and or move into a base glaze...so my guess is anything is possible. Test, test, test! I hope this helps!

[@rnk8594]

Hi! Have you done with regular cool instead of slow cool for this glaze combo? Did you see a lot of difference if you have? Thank you!

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hi! I have a manual kiln, there are times that I will do a hold but in this instance my kiln shut off and cooled naturally. I always get consistent results whenever I layer these glazes. Let me know how it works out for you? 😊

[@rnk8594]

@@SarahWaltonPottery Great to know! Thank you so much!

[@crookedpathproductions7761]

Do you need to (clear?) glaze the clay on the bottom half? Or does the second firing make it food safe/water resistant? Great technique and beautiful results!

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hi, because the unglazed part of the pot is on the outside and not in contact with food it’s totally fine to expose the stoneware, the glazed surface is totally food safe, dishwasher and microwave safe. The second firing vitrifies the clay so it’s no longer porous..but all surfaces that are in contact with food must be glazed with food safe glasses. Hope this answers your question…and thank you!

[@crookedpathproductions7761]

@@SarahWaltonPottery awesome thank you!

[@Jun-lh6bz]

i have a question. wont the orange glaze be washed away with the wet sponge at 4:59 ? or is it dry and cant be washed out?

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hi! So sorry it's taken me so long to answer your question. Thank you for sending me the time stamp so I know exactly what you meant by the orange glaze. The orange colour is the bare bisque fired clay which will fire to the deep burgundy colour after the final firing. The bottom of these pots don't have any glaze on them, so no, I'm not washing it off. What I'm doing is removing glaze off the bottom (finger prints, glaze splashes etc) and making sure that the glaze line in strong to help encourage the glaze drips in the glaze fire. I hope this makes sense. Let me know, please!

[@tonjacatchings6786]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial ❤️ Would these be considered "dishwasher safe" since no glaze was used on the bottom half of the cups?

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hi Tonja, thank you! And yes they are dishwasher safe as well as microwave safe too. Darker clays can get hotter due to the iron content. Once the pot goes thru the final firing it’s vitrified. Note..Clay that is not glazed should not be in touch with food so you’d want to make sure that your pot has glaze on the inside. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

So, which one is the one that creates the dripping effect?

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hi Linda, to answer your question it’s the combination of both. Both glazes don’t move much on there own but when layered together that creates the drips. Also, Winter Wood as a base glaze creates a lot of movement with many glazes that you layer in top. Hope this answers your question…thanks for watching!!

[@meninahaquel]

Hi! Great video thank you. I would like to add this effect to my pottery but I don’t understand if it can done with any glaze once we apply a thick layer or if we need to use specific glaze. Would you be able to clarify?

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

Hi Menina! Thank you and thanks for your question. Not all glazes will give you a drippy effect, even if applied thick, sometimes certain glazes just bubble and pinhole..not a good look. This is where testing comes in, I strongly encourage that you test glazes and layering of glazes to see which gives you the effect your looking for. Glazing, in my opinion, can be the most frustrating part of pottery because your results change drastically in some cases by which glaze you use as a base glaze and which you layer on top. Temperature of the kiln, where in the kiln something is, if a hold is put on the firing etc. There are glazes that will cause glazes to run, Oatmeal by Potters Choice, Light and Dark Flux by Mayco, one of my faves is Archie’s Base by Coyote. Check out my video Glazing Bottles for Beginners I show some more detail on glazing and I use Archie’s Base. I’m sorry that this is a long-winded answer but there’s is no yes/no solution to your question. Lots of potters keep they’re glazes secret because it can take years of trial and error to perfect what they do. The reason for my channel is just that. I want to share and learn as I go along. Hope this helps🤞🙏😊

You didn’t need to fire the tumblers?

[@SarahWaltonPottery]

I’m sorry I’m not sure I understand your question exactly..when I am apply glaze that is in bisque ware. Which has gone through the first firing ^04. Once your piece has gone thru this initial furring it is ready to absorb glaze, which is what you see me applying. Once all the glaze is applied it goes through another firing at an even hotter temperature ^6 which is the final result. I hope I answered your question. Thanks for watching! 🤗
