Thanks, Marie! LOVE your discovery of Washi tape! As always, I greatly appreciate your calm, beautifully clear instructions, along with your attitude that if you can do it, then so can all of us out here in KZbin land! Thanks again!

[@PotteryCrafters]

You are so welcome! 😊 Thank you for your support MaryJean. And yes if I can do it so can you. 😍

Yes Very Helpful I have also Used Detailing tape that comes in thiner sizes. Your tape is nifty. I always say. "Don't get mad, get dirty, throw pots!"

[@PotteryCrafters]

I like that saying. Thank you for the tip. I have never tried Detailing tape 😍

[@jasonspratley5583]

I love your videos. Informative and I like your calm delivery.

[@PotteryCrafters]

I appreciate that! Thank you 😃

Hi Marie, for curved surfaces or curves I use electric tape. It is more elastic than washi.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you Ann. 😊That's a great tip. I'll have to try it. 😊

[@____Ann____]

@@PotteryCrafters you know what kind of tape I mean? There is red, black, green-yellow etc and it is used for electric wires.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Yes, That was really nice of you to make sure I try the right tape 😊

[@KatAtkinson]

I find value in each of your videos! I can not wait to try this!

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you Kat 😍 Glad you like them!

[@denisenoble4010]

How do you clear the inside colour off if it goes onto the colour on the outside. I was taught to always glaze/ slip inside first. Thanks. Another good watch x

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you, Denise. Good question. Yes, I always glaze the inside first also. Yes, you do have to be careful not to get glaze on the outside especially if you use a different color glaze on the inside. You can put tape around too so it doesn't go onto the color on the outside 😊

[@marenas7870]

Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!

[@PotteryCrafters]

You're so welcome Marena 😊Glad I can help you on your pottery journey and give some fun decorating ideas 👍

[@aprillemaster5869]

Thank you for a great video ! I was wondering if you could do a video on clay and vitrification . If a clay says cone 6 to 10 do you feel it is safe to use at cone 6 ? Thank you !

[@PotteryCrafters]

Good suggestion. I know it can be confusing at times with all these different clay bodies and cone temperatures 😊 Great question 😊 When the clay says cone 6 to 10 it means that is the range you can fire to. Verification is not the temperature you fire to but the amount of flux that is in your clay. Fluxes are what lowers the melting temperature of the silica in your clay to vitrify it. Without knowing how much flux is in the clay I could not say if it is verified at cone 6, but it will most definitely be durable enough. 😍

[@ahafun2010]

can you do this in layers? as in, fire the piece with one color glaze and then use tape to make a design and add another layer of glaze? if so, would everything need to be an underglaze and then after the layers of color add a clear glaze on top?

[@PotteryCrafters]

Good question, Susan. You can apply underglaze, let it dry, apply tape, and more underglaze, let it dry and apply a clear glaze. You can also apply underglaze, and bisque fire, then tape and apply more underglaze, then clear glaze. The first way works fine for me, but you must be careful and let the underglaze dry really well. 😊

[@carolynpollack1083]

Hi. I found this really interesting. I didn't know that you could use underglaze and then cover with a clear glaze to fire your piece all in one firing. Do you always have to do a bisque first, as you did? I usually paint my greenware, fire it, and then cover it with a clear glaze, and fire again. I don't belong to a group and usually try to work things out myself. I've watched a few of your videos today and I'm happy to see that I'm on the right track with the things I'm doing.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Very good question Carolyn. No, I underglaze on greenware and bisque ware. The results are the same for me. I like Underglazing on bisque ware because the greenware that has been underglazed can't touch other greenware. There is so much we can do with pottery, glad to help you on your pottery crafting journey. 😍

[@denisebooker6130]

Hi there can I do under glaze like you have done then dip it into clear glaze .thank you

[@PotteryCrafters]

Good question Denise. Yes, absolutely. That is actually one of the best ways to apply the clear glaze so your underglaze does not smug.😊

[@kupcads6470]

Cute cute so cute💫💫

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you, Kiran.😍Hope you are doing well. It is always good to hear from you.

[@kupcads6470]

Yes, I'm fine, my dear teacher. I think I have solved many problems that I encountered. Or when there is a problem, I can understand why. Because all the videos you have shared are for this. When I was working at the wheel, or when I was glazing or saying what to do with my accumulated waste sludge, I say ahaaa.My teacher shared a video for it. I have to watch it again. 😊 Many of my products are now being sold. It is a nice feeling that someone other than me also likes my work and wants to take it home. I love you my dear teacher. love Izmir-Turkey.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Congratulations 😍 It is so wonderful to hear that you are selling your pottery. Thank you for letting me know. 😊 I am so happy for you and glad I could help you on your pottery journey. Keep making that beautiful pottery. 😍

[@heididerksen8227]

Hello I tried your bubble glaze and put the clear coat on as thin as possible but all my bubbles disappeared in the glaze fire. Wondering did I do something wrong. Wondering if the bubble part wasn't in thick enough,also can I possible use glaze for the bubble part.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Good question. I would try using more soap. 😊

[@heididerksen8227]

@@PotteryCrafters ok thanks

[@rOHRshackartpottery]

I am unable to find the answer to this question in any of your videos so I will ask it in reference to this one. I have had a jar of unused wax resist for many years. Is it no longer useful since it seems hardened? Or is there a way to thin the wax resist?

[@PotteryCrafters]

That's funny that you asked that question because I was just looking at my wax resist thinking if hardened would I be able to thin it out again. So I will be looking into that. If you find out before I do feel free to comment 😊👍

[@rOHRshackartpottery]

@@PotteryCrafters it occurred to me that heat might melt the wax resist back to the original form. Perhaps placing the jar in hot water.

[@meenusubrahmanian5692]

Hi..very useful video..i have a doubt . When you find a nice glaze which is not food safe, is it safe to apply outside your clay piece and then use a food safe glaze inside the piece?

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you. Yes, you are right. You only need to glaze the inside to make your piece food safe.😊

[@PCP-uo7nk]

Do you any tape that could be used on greenware that actually sticks to it? Thank you!

[@PotteryCrafters]

Good question Sandra 😊 Washi Tape geni.us/mSZUNX7 It works on greenware also with underglaze. You can apply it the same way I did on the bisqueware. Right on the greenware or on the underglaze. 😊

[@robertdumoulin4612]

Hi Marie when my pieces are dry and kiln can i use underglaze and when dry dip it in a clear glaze before final kiln. Thank you.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Hi Robert. Good question. Yes, you can. It is better to dip it in clear glaze than brush the glaze on because you have less chance of smudging the underglaze. 😊

[@robertdumoulin4612]

@@PotteryCrafters Yes i by a 5 gallon of clear glase for dipping thank you for your answer.

[@robertdumoulin4612]

Hi Marie i try to put some wax on a coffee cup and dip into a mayco glaze but i see on my cup a drip of wax on my cup it was not a good result for my technics. I will try again later.

[@PotteryCrafters]

That's terrible. If you didn't glaze your cup yet you can save it by reglazing it. 😊

[@robertdumoulin4612]

@@PotteryCrafters did i have to sand all my cup first to remove wax resist i think yess its gone a be a long job to do it . Thank you again my friend.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Keep in mind that the wax may get stuck in the pores of the bisque mug and re bisquing may be easier. This way all the wax resist is burned off.

[@joantrajanowski4269]

I thought underglaze was applied on greenware, so I'm little confused .

[@PotteryCrafters]

That is a very good question. Yes, it can be confusing. You are right you can apply underglaze to greenware. You can also apply Underglaze to Bisqueware. Because, unlike clay slip, underglaze contains frit allowing you to apply it to bisqued pottery also. 😊

[@marciae1234]

What would happen if you fired it with the tape on?

[@PotteryCrafters]

Great question 😃 It will burn and mess up your glaze 😊
