Making Glaze Sprinkles / Speckles

[@graykicklighterjonathan-gr7275]

Really like the slight satin look. Reminds me of the blue metal enameled camping dishes. The pink is glorious. Than you for sharing.

[@sarahmbonnar]

Gosh, it must be so satisfying to be able to create your own glaze and special effects.

[@OldForgeCreations]

It really is!

[@walterjoemoore6732]

Great tourial. I learned something totally new, I can't wait to try.

[@tahananpotteryshopstudio1775]

Wow, this is great. I am located in the philippines and I am always fascinated by your videos and gratefully surprised that you actually share your knowledge and expertise. I am beginner and would like to try the speckles myself. It will be very much appreciated if you can share the recipe.

[@rosalindbell3930]

Wow I never heard of this. Fascinating. I love how you are always testing things and taking us for the ride. Thanks!

[@doreenwood3508]

You are awesome , thank you for sharing these great recipes!

[@JustinsMakery]

This was great! I've been experimenting with speckles for months, with no success. It never occurred to me to bisque fire the crumbled glaze. Such a good idea. I am absolutely going to do this. Thank you!

[@OldForgeCreations]

Yeah, it was a revelation for me too when I realised it could be done this way!

[@321ReadysSetG0]

Always something to learn and i really like the new blue 👍

[@OlgaWinged]

Could you please tell more about bisque firing details in this case: how long it was and what about time on the peak temperature? Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

[@rachelhuckaby8383]

Your videos are great. I bought one of your travel mugs and the bottom of your stuff is so amazingly smooth. Maybe you could do a tutorial about how to do that. I use a pretty smooth clay but it does not feel that wonderful after it has been fired.

[@OldForgeCreations]

Thank you! I get that by burnishing the clay after trimming. It definitely has come up in other videos but I'll do a video specifically on it at some point.

[@charlieevergreen3514]

Quite nice. Thanks for the video!

[@meridiang3160]

thank you for sharing this, I'm excited to try it myself. :)

[@connecticutaggie]

What cone does the resulting glaze fire at? Is is possible to make a Cone 6 speckled glaze?

[@anacristinatakeda1954]

thank you for sharing!

[@HarmoniaAAxyridis]

Hi, do you have any recipes or ideas on how to make a low fire version. I am in France and working with low-temp fiance. I've bought some speckled glazes but would really like to make my own.

[@malungtvnews]

I didn't imagine you were based in the UK for some reason

[@giancarlopimentelz2885]

thanks you are very generous

[@oniontears2089]

im wondering what would happen if i skipped the colorant and then additional chemical to control flux. like, just bisqued glaze that i have crushed. does it just go dark, or will it just be a guessing game based on what glaze i add it to? i love your work and appreciate how generous you are with your process!

[@MytinyJournalIndia]

Does adding these sprinkles increase the chance of glaze crazing?

[@sureshsundaram3631]

Curious what the surface texture of the finished pot is like. Is it smooth or do the speckles create a rough surface texture?

[@OldForgeCreations]

It depends on the glazes you use. If they only just melt, the texture will be bumpy, but once they melt enough to blend together more then it smooths out

[@BasilWallace]

Pink is lovely

[@soledadkeegan8235]

Hi ! How much cobalt oxide for blue chips?

[@glendaneaton9646]

When you bisque fire the dried glaze, what did you put it in?

[@OldForgeCreations]

I use a clay tray. Anything will do really, but a low flat surface is better than a bowl or taller form for even sintering, so I just throw appropriately sized pieces from my usual clay

[@thenerdandthehatter]

What do you sintered the glaze in to create the crystals?

[@alaina932]

This may be a silly question but I'm new to pottery. Could I sinter a commercial glaze, like Amaco, and then mix it with another Amaco glaze? I know there isn't much control when using commercial glazes instead of your own so I'm unsure.

[@OldForgeCreations]

You could, but you'd have to adjust the sintering temp to match the glaze rather than the other way around. For a cone 6 commercial glaze that might mean sintering at something like 850°c rather than a 1000c bisque

[@friendlyreminderbyronni]

Is this how you made your Specktacular pink one?:)

[@OldForgeCreations]

Yep!

[@xxbondsxx]

Is this better than just flicking on another glaze on top with a brush because the pattern is more consistent?

[@crisfer22]

Definitely more consistent, also the texture is probably different and this method offers much more control over the final results and scalability, which are very important for a professional potter.

[@ionelima9637]

Eu te amo ,obrigada

[@Calgary27]

Ah-mazing to break up the bisque fired in the metal pan - would a mortar and pestle work better/faster to break up?

[@OldForgeCreations]

That's not bisque fired at that point, I break it up before bisque firing

[@bradellison1345]

Do you think you could put it in a food processor and get a fine sprinkle throughout? Or would it pulverize it to dust?

[@OldForgeCreations]

I'm not really sure what you mean. You can crumble the dried glaze without a food processor, from big chunks to fine dust. The only challenge would be finding a sieve that allowed you to limit the maximum size of the pieces to whatever size you wanted for the fine sprinkle.

[@bradellison1345]

@@OldForgeCreations I was just thinking if a fine powder was the goal, you could put that in a food processor and get there pretty quick and the chunks would be pretty consistent.
