Are the stickers just craft store bought? Thanks 😊

[@PotteryCrafters]

Yes they are! 😊

[@janet7270]

I tried this one the other day and I love the way my practice piece came out!! A great way to try something new! The next time I do this I have to write down what color glazes I used so I can make a matching set of plates!

[@PotteryCrafters]

That is wonderful Janet😍 Thank you so much for sharing. Did you try any stickers yet?

[@janet7270]

@@PotteryCrafters i haven't tried the stickers yet, that's next on the list. I thought the stickers was an excellent idea! I think I will order some on line to give it a go.

That's great, let me know how it goes.😃

I'm glad you like it. It's amazing what you can do with a sponge and some stickers 😍

[@cariadwales1979]

Love this eff3ect MArie. What is the fan brush you are using? Im finding it hard to find a really good one where the bristles dont separate when galzing.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you Cariad. These are my favorite Brushes. Here is the link for you to check them out. geni.us/GDeD

[@robertapatton8436]

Thank you for your instructions. I’m new to painting ceramic. Where did you get your stickers. I tried drawing notes and it wasn’t successful.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Hi Roberta, Welcome to the wonderful world of crafting pottery. I got the stickers from Joan Fabrics. You can also get them at Michaels.

[@shontal_ceramic2830]

Can I ask please how many coats of the clear glaze you applied ?

[@PotteryCrafters]

Hi Shontal. I apply 2 thin coats of clear glaze. If it's too thick you will get a milky look.

[@shontal_ceramic2830]

@Pottery Crafters thank you. Yes I always get a milky look with satin clear. That is good to know.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Two thin coats of Amaco celadon (mixing clear) should work. 😊

[@shontal_ceramic2830]

@@PotteryCrafters thank you so much 😃

[@shontal_ceramic2830]

Sorry another question. Is the clear satin you are using called Amaco Sahara HF Glaze Clear satin? Amaco has a few different clear satin I think and I just wanted to make sure that I am getting the right one

[@PotteryCrafters]

No problem. These are important questions. I actually switched to Speedball clear glaze because I get better results. Here is the link if you want to check it out geni.us/eKoT 😊

[@shontal_ceramic2830]

@Pottery Crafters thank you so much. It might be hard for me to get the speedball as I live in Australia. I will try though. But yes I think clear satin is a bit tricky, I had bad results in the past and that is why I am asking. What about Amaco Ice. I usually get good results and it acts like a clear glaze ?

[@PotteryCrafters]

Australia!!! How wonderful. Yes, I understand. I have a friend in Australia, and there are things she can't get shipped to her. I would go with the celadon Mixing Clear. It was originally formulated to dilute the color of Celadon glazes. It can be used as a clear glaze. Mixing Clear does work well with most underglazes. 😊

[@shontal_ceramic2830]

@Pottery Crafters yeah Australia is too far away 😢. And there is a shortage of Amaco and Mayco supply, not sure why. Thank you. As soon as I find some mixing clear I will get some 😃

[@carolynmurray2501]

Love it 💕

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you Carolyn! 😊

[@meenusubrahmanian5692]

Can I use a low fire glaze on a terracotta bisqueware?

[@PotteryCrafters]

Good question. Yes you can. Fire the glaze to Cone 06 😊

[@robertdumoulin4612]

Hi Marie when i glaze with under glaze can i dip my pièce in clear glaze to finish my piece.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Hi Robert. Yes, you can! Actually, dipping is one of the best ways to apply clear glaze to underglaze pieces 😊

[@robertdumoulin4612]

@@PotteryCrafters Thank you again Marie.

[@PotteryCrafters]

You are most welcome 😊👍

[@elisabethkrisel7389]

have you tried ombre sponging with Amaco celadons on bisqueware? Would you add clear glaze over these if you did this or would the sponged glazes be sufficient?

[@PotteryCrafters]

Hi Elisabeth, That's a good question. I have a video where I sponge glaze with celadon glazes. These celadons are more opaque but you can also use other celadons. Here is the link for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqrbqXedotVgaNU

[@maguyver]

Hi, I've noticed that you paint/glaze right to the bottom. Do you ever get running? Thx!

[@PotteryCrafters]

Great question? Surprisingly, very rarely. I was applying it too thin and decided to take a chance and always use cookies. I do make sure I don't lay it on too thick at the bottom.😊

[@designerpotandplanter1004]

Hello Ma'am I do hard work and make clay mug I don't have electronic ceramic Bhatti means machine but I burn that and heat properly so please tell me I can do ceramic Paint on that please help me to tell me and explain also if not so why in old days around 18 century how they do to make ceramic crockery

[@PotteryCrafters]

Unfortunately, you can't make your mug food safe unless it is fired in a kiln. You can make some decorative things with air dry clay and seal it with Ducan paint, but it is still not food safe. In the old days, they burned the pottery in a pit in the ground. They actually did it on the show, The great pottery throw down. Maybe you can find someone that will rent space in their kiln or at a studio. They also sell tiny kilns that don't require a special outlet. Hope you can get your mug fired 😊

[@TheOutdoordad]

why do you use underglaze...does this work in you use regular glaze?

[@PotteryCrafters]

Good question. Yes, you can do it both ways. You can check out this sponge glaze video also. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqrbqXedotVgaNU 😍 With the underglazes I seemed to have more control over the shading areas.

[@mariedemarco424]

Good techniques, like this video as well as your others...but please please be a little more lively. Good to be polite or subdued when speaking, but when teaching, more emphasis holds your audience's attention much better.

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you for the advice Marie. 😀

[@monicastafford9210]

I love your voice and style! Your lessons are informative and relaxing- lots of good content out there but your lovely speaking manner makes your videos stand out from the rest. I hope you don’t change. You be you 🙏

[@PotteryCrafters]

Thank you, Monica. I did try upping the energy level. I just found that everything about Pottery is slow and relaxing. Not (KEEP DABBING THAT SPONGE!! THAT'S IT !!! YOU GOT IT!!! 😂😆) Certain things call for different energy levels.😍👍
