How To Make a Glaze

[@andreschiriff4354]

Thank you lady for giving the recipe and explaining everything with excellent detail! 😀

[@KUMBHAAR]

please make a video on clear glaze

[@WIREDSQUIDS]

Awesome informative video thank you for teaching me how to make my own glazes time to try it out next time I’m in the studio!

[@sandracartica4932]

This was extremely helpful in my quest to learn about how to mix my own glazes.... which can be a little daunting (especially for us newbies). Thanks Ann, you are a great teacher!!! 🤩

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TestyCool]

I have only made a couple of thing still really new to the hobby. I have been wanting to find a good diy glaze. I like how informative she is and the color of this glaze. One of the better videos I have found so far. Rather then mixing it dry. After putting all the ingredients in the bucket together. Couldn't she just add some water before mixing. That way it would keep down the dust though?

[@StanOwden]

Very interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing.

[@joanpcloutier5897]

I have been wanting to try my hand at glaze making - this is inspiring!

[@annruel1982]

Hi Joan. I am glad it is inspiring for you Joan. There are a lot of really good books that go into a lot more detail about how glazes work. We have the John Britt one listed above and I like the John Hesselberth and Ron Roy book Mastering Cone 5 Glazes too. Thanks for watching!!!

[@straighttalknomessing3934]

You must have so much patience and I have so much respect for you and all those crafters who make these glazes but I would not be able to do all this 😂

[@Plasticplas1]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@deborahbeyne888]

Hi! Thanks for the video 😊 I have never made my own glazes and I was thinking if there is a special ingredient that you may know of, to make stroke & coat glazes (and underglazes-that would be great also) like the Mayco “stroke & coat ” glazes which are awfully expensive Thanks in advance

[@ResinBelle]

What a beautiful color!

[@juliamargocuthbert4947]

Oh btw I make up a lot of glazes for two different studios i work in .. one here in Canada and one in Arizona (during non covid times lol) and the rule of thumb is around 11 oz of water per lbs or. 454 gms.... Normally start with 8oz per pounds and slowly add till the consistency is right...again as Anne has said depending upon all the ingredients you may have to go up as much as 12 oz (liquid) of water...

[@annruel1982]

Great tip Julia!! Thanks for the visual!!!

[@franksears5110]

Hi ! Did you use some additives in order to make it „brushable“ ? Thanks for letting me know 😊

Can i make a clear glaze without the colorants?

[@anabelamelo4180]

Great review. Thanks!

[@HninMaung-f4s]

Thanks.

[@nevinkuser9892]

How would you make the glaze color a bit darker? I'm going for that deep emerald 1920s subway tile color. This style is from back when they would put chandeliers in the restroom! I really miss that kind of style and want to recreate a 1920s restroom.

[@ninelmarkovic3093]

Thank you so much for this video.

You are so welcome!

[@VagishaDas]

did you fire them in a kiln?

[@TheSlightlyCurious]

Nice and easy introduction to glaze making , very helpful 😊

[@annruel1982]

Thanks so much! I am glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!!!

[@soft2smooth2000]

Hello! Coming to this video late bit was hoping you could advise 🤞🏼🙏🏼💛 - bought lovely stoneware mug from supermarket, and bottom inside rim/edge looks and feels like its missed glazing process... Is this ok and food/drink safe ? Or do I need to chuck it or try some home glazing for touch up ?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

The glaze does not waterproof the piece. Its the vitrification after firing. To test: put water in cup, set cup on paper towel, leave overnight, if the towel is wet the next day, its not waterproof. Good luck.

[@PAULAFROTA1]

Wow. Thanks you so much for sharing ❤

[@mohammedegyptian2527]

bravo , thanks for sharing

[@safyahmed3638]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@Spinquilter]

This is great -- What cone do you fire this glaze at? Is this only a brush on glaze or can it be used as a dipping glaze. Thank you for sharing

[@annruel1982]

Hi Spin, I fired my pieces to cone 5. I usually use this glaze as an accent glaze over another one of my glazes, but I believe. you could apply it by brushing, dipping or spraying. It is a really nice rich glaze but it can be a bit runny when thick.

[@KUMBHAAR]

please tell me how to make clear glaze

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Hi there - I'm not a super glaze expert but if you go to glazy.org there are lots of recipes there for clear glaze. Good luck!

[@juliamargocuthbert4947]

Is the bentonite to stop the glaze settling? And also what temp did you fire to .. Cone 5 or 6 or high temp at 10? I like the look of this glaze.. also is it food safe? Thanks for taking the time to answer... I have been following you for a while and love the simplicity of your teaching methods... so thanks again...

[@annruel1982]

HI Julia. You are right. Bentonite is a material that helps keep the other materials suspended. A lot of recipes include a little bit of the bentonite. Sorry for not including how I fired this glaze. I fired it to a fast cone 5. As far as food safety of the glaze. I am one of those potters who only uses a white liner glaze without any heavy metals on my pots on areas where there will be food and drink just so I dont have to worry about leaching. There is copper in this recipe and I doubt there is enough for any concern, but as I have not sent it to a lab to be tested so I cant recommend it for food safety or not. sorry. Thanks for the kind words Julia. Jim and I try to keep the videos right to the chase without a lot of over explaining.

[@selmakaplan1053]

I found nearly all the materials except for SİLİCA. Is this Sio2, which is nearly 10-15 dollars per GRAM!!! I really liked the effects and it was going to be my first glaze making venture. I am in a village in Turkey.

[@selmakaplan1053]

what is silica?

[@____Ann____]

@@selmakaplan1053 silica is indeed silicon dioxide. It is a super cheap ingredient.

[@JustynaGmurek]

Hi Ann, I love your content, it's really helpful and sometimes funny. I really enjoy watching it! Thanks for that ❤. I have a question: is there something among the ingredients that serves as a gum solution to enhance applying and keeping the glaze firm? If not, is it ok to add Amaco gum solution? Have you tried it?

[@killatt-ll4bg]

Hello i have a question do you heat it after applying glaze or let it sit?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

let it sit for 24 hours then fire it to cone 5 or 6 in my case. Thanks.

[@blatherss6313]

Is there a resource where I can find what materials have what effect on a glaze. I'm very new to making new glazes and don't really know where to start. I don't know what materials do what or how they each affect the glaze. I wondered if there was a "basic" couple of materials i could get that are commonly used and what not. Anything helps!

What a great results and colour to share!👏👏👏 I really like this green! In fact trying to find the recipe of Verde Green, this seems very close. Btw, it seemed smooth enough to brush on, but is it also used as dipping glaze? Thank you a lot for sharing the demo. :-)

Yep - you can dip too!

Why 3? Do you always divide each of the ingredients of the base glaze by 3?

Yes, the pieces shown at the end of the video are fired (burned). Thanks!

Is this glaze waterproof??😮❤

[@TheJmh19]

nice video love the glaze. the one thing I wonder about is the Zinc oxide and it's toxicity. 12 g seems high or am I being paranoid?

When its mixed in a glaze you dont have to worry - it does not leach out. Its a good sunscreen too! :)

Hello, do you have any idea how I can make glaze for red clay found in West Africa.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Hi Mary - If you are looking for a good glaze for red clay I would suggest looking at Dante's videos at Earth Nation Ceramics on KZbin. He does great glaze reviews and also uses darker clay. I use porcelain most of the time.

Isn't it better to make it thinner if you want to just dunk the whole thing?

[@celinebayangel]

I just read: " I fired it to a fast cone 5". I asked because I have some glaze recipes and I am testing them - all of them after firing came white and opaque! I need to know what is wrong ... :( - Thanks!

[@mabjornstam963]

Thank you for the recipe! You use a brush. Is this glaze also possible dipping?

[@annruel1982]

Hi Ma. I usually use this glaze as an accent glaze like you see on the cup with the polka dots so I havent made a big enough batch to dip, but I would think it would work as a dipping glaze if you thinned it down a little more. I would recommend experimenting with it. Good luck and thank you for watching.
