Potter's Work Ep. 5 -Adding gold and silver luster

[@storiesnstoneware]

I have been asked a lot of questions on this video! This was just a fun video series to show the whole process of the dragon egg mugs. If you want videos on HOW TO LUSTER please check out these videos. Tools you need to luster watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opicdYSmZa6Ia8U How to luster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmele3SOlrd-Z80

There's any tutorial to have this silver glaze effect? I've never seen this before.

[@storiesnstoneware]

It is called silver luster and I have some videos on tools and tutorials linked in the description of this video.

Tks for the answer@@storiesnstoneware

How many hours should I fire it after applying the gold rust? And can I just apply one layer?

[@storiesnstoneware]

I usually wait 12 hours to 24 hours after applying. Here is one of my more recent videos in which I talk about how to do lusters and what you need to do it :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmele3SOlrd-Z80

How long will a bottle of gold Luster last you? Just curious thanks

[@storiesnstoneware]

I depends on how much I am using on a piece and how many pieces I have to luster. It does go pretty far. My mother of pearl lasts me the longest I maybe buy one or two a year. The silver and gold luster I usually have to buy an new one every other collection, so every few months. When I do my dragon stuff I usually go through and entire bottle.

Hi🌹 can I use an electric oven

[@storiesnstoneware]

Ovens don't get hot enough, even for a luster fire sorry. You need a kiln for this kind of clay. If you want to use an oven I recommend using polymer clay, available at most craft stores. Sculpey is the brand I like the most. Or if you want to get into pottery, check out around your area and see if there are any local studios offering classes :)

Hello, I am from Morocco. I want to buy gold water. Please, if you know a company that sells it.

[@storiesnstoneware]

The company I bought my luster from no longer sells it. I think Laguna Clay company has started to, but it is a lot more expensive. Also you would need to have access to a kiln to fire it onto the pottery, it gets fired at a cone 018 temperature.

If you don't like the result, can you refire?

[@storiesnstoneware]

If you don’t like the results of the lusters you can refire supposedly but I have not had much luck with that method. They also have luster erasers that are said to do that, but I have never tried them personally. I usually just scrap the piece, use it myself or for social media photos.

I didn’t think this was food safe?

[@storiesnstoneware]

Great question! I use Duncan overglazes/lusters that are food safe when fired properly. And I do make sure to use cones for temp measurements, they are usually removed and documented before the video recordings 😊 I also avoid sticking them inside the mug because coffee can be very abrasive. I do care very much about my customers getting food safe mugs❤️
