Thank you for this video. I have had success using micro pearl, and micro jade turns out darker and more metallic for me ( not the gorgeous green result you got!) I tend to have a lighter hand applying brushed-on glazes. So next time, I think I will try four coats instead of three.

Some of these glazes are so sensitive to application thickness. I try to do some videos of actual application because different people definitely have different ways of applying and that can make a big difference in the thickness. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the demo on these glazes, Sarah. Can I ask, is this a natural cool firing? I am preparing a kiln load for cone 6 natural cool. Thanks, Sarah!

[@threelittlepotters]

Hi Audrey, so I just throw these in with my normal glaze load. I do a drop/hold but not a slow/controlled cool. I think I remember that your kiln has 3 inch brick, so you're already cooling a lot more slowly than I do. Plus I often do a vented cool, where I am sucking the hot air out so it cools even faster. I think these glazes will give you crystals no matter what cooling cycle you use. If anything you might get over cystallization with the thicker brick.

@threelittlepotters Thanks so much, Sarah! I will try them in both firings and see what happens. Yours turned out so pretty!

Thank you for sharing! I was wondering, did they run on cone 6? How many layers did u put on the last half inch of the pieces?

[@threelittlepotters]

They did not really run very much. That very bottom 1/4 inch had one layer, and the layers above did move down to cover it in some spots.

@@threelittlepotters thank you!

Are all these glazes okay to eat off of?

[@threelittlepotters]

The pearl glaze is, the others are suitable for the outside of cups, but you will want to use a liner glaze for the inside.
