I am currently at NKO in Gouda, The Netherlands. We use a shiny white tin glaze and simple majolica underglaze on Stoneware all the time. It’s actually one of my favourite glazes. It’s important that the tin glaze isn’t too thick, so it doesn’t sag during firing. A tip for applying the underglaze smoothly: add some honey or dissolved sugar to the underglaze. It makes application much easier! Love your videos!

So. nice to meet you Lola! Hello from Florida. It still amazes me that I can reach around the world. Wow. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! that is awesome to know. there is not much information over here about using majolica at cone 5-6. I did have a bit of trouble with the sagging, so perhaps a thinner white glaze coating will help...although my glaze doesnt like to be too thin of it is patchy, but I will experiment. Again thanks so much!!..If you are on facebook, I help administrate the Pottery Studio group. I would love to see samples of your work!! Again, thanks. Ann

Hi, what white Tin glaze do you use in NL? I am trying to find a white glaze that becomes opaque on a very dark terra cotta clay body. The clay fires up to 1050 C and becomes chocolate brown. So far, I have not found a white glaze to cover….

Go for. it Ginny. Just use a cardinal template instead of the fruit. Use the Cant-Elope and Candy Apple Red Stroke and coats on that. I waxed the lines for the trees to preserved the white glaze color and wax on the cardinals. Then brush on the Wisteria over top. Sponge off the glaze beads. Thanks so much for watching!

Your red cardinals are beautiful, you must use magic, as I don't understand how you have so much knowledge and skill oozing from every pore and constantly putting in new skills for us to watch in awe, it has to be magic to enable you to do so much in 24 hours, either that or your 24 hours is longer in the US 😊

I became very interested in majolica tiles when I visited Portugal last year. The national tile Museum in Lisbon is more amazing than I can convey; “The Museu Nacional do Azulejo”. I purchased Amaco majolica glazes and began experimenting. I tried to put some photos to share, but I can’t figure out how to do it! This was a great video thank you so much.

Thanks so much Michele. Im glad you enjoyed that and maybe you can give it a try. I have tried it before, but I like to do more detailed work and this process with the hotter temperature seems to work more on more simple blocky illustrations. Linda Arbuckle has the right idea. She is a genius.

Hey Judy. Im so glad you like this. The white glaze that I used is a glaze that Ron Roy helped me to formulate and so it is not a commercial glaze that you can buy off the shelf. If you want the recipe, it is in the description section under the video. It is my favorite glaze. Go for it.

So why don’t potters paint white slip as the base and paint images with colored slip over that? Then put clear over everything - does the clear always ruin the images and dull the colors, even at lower temps?
@annruel19825 ай бұрын
Hi Lynette. Very good question. I think you even answered it yourself. The clear glaze does change whatever it is applied over. You need to always test ....like I did for this video...and see how it affects the final look. I have had clear glaze make underglaze colors fade out. Other ones it can make streaky. Some colors the clear can make garrish. I dont have much experience working at the lower temperatures, so Im sure it is different but still testing is the best way to go 🙂. Good luck!
