Testing crystal Glazes

#crystal #laguna #glaze
Hello potters. This time we will be testing the limits of a store bought glaze in a cone 5 oxidation kiln. straight up and down, no holds. These 2 glazes are Wc-162 and wc-160, some of my favorite glazes I used to use at alpha.

The lavender ferengi! Fascinating! I will certainly give it a try.

[@moonziemoonzie5524]

Laguna has a special firing schedule for this glaze that involves a hold at 1950f for 3 hours for the crystals to really develop. That's why they say it RUNS. Because with that long of a hold it WILL run.

[@lindalee945]

Cool

[@The_Real_NaCLH201]

I like the raw work look. Please do more of this.

[@quietzone1313]

FILL-UH-GREE

[@seanfarrell2862]

Phil, agree.

[@barbarac4138]

Mayco has some new food safe crystal glazes that can go to cone six that are really pretty

[@WhimsiKettle]

Coyote Glazes have some really nice cone 5/6 crystalline glazes too. I've used them and I've started to make my own with some interesting results. I've also used Matt Horn's basic recipe on some cone 10 Coleman Porcelain with amazing, albeit really runny, results. I love the results from the crystalline glazes.

3:01 The struggle is real, I'm convinced Laguna doesn't actually want you to use their glazes with what a pain in the ass it is to get that seal off...just buy them and dream of what could be if only you had a jackhammer. (Side note: a few weeks ago I managed to break through the steel barrier on a pint of MS-223 Desert Sunset...glaze is fully the consistency/viscosity & color of Forbidden Yogurt, looks like the contents of a Gogurt tube. 😂 As such, this is what I'll be referring to MS-223 as for the foreseeable future. Really fun glaze on its own, also paired nicely with Amaco Flux Blossom PCF-54.)

[@MrsBrown-jt5bu]

Love crystal glazed. So many are not food safe. I'll be checking more of them out. Thanks!!!

[@natalievaupel3824]

I like the raw look on brown. Definitely.

[@chloepainter4064]

Filigree is pronounced fill-ih-gree, like, a weirdly pronounced filly and then agree without the a. It means delicate ornamental tracery. This video so cool, I can finally understand my dads job! I work with watercolors, so glazes with all their chemical reactions confuse me.

[@thefoxsaysmeow]

8:03 This glaze shall forever be known as Lavender Ferengi 😂

[@curlytuna8514]

Disliked because you had fun without us. Also I’m one of those lunatics who enjoys raw work with white clay. Also also i freakin love crystalline glazes and this was a good video

[@John_Weiss]

You might be able to get away with glazing the outside, too, *IF:* 1) You have a really tall foot; 2) You wax the bottom 1 inch of the pot; 3) You set it on a rough hand-build dish (short little walls, nothing fancy) when firing it. You could also design the body so that it has an "edge" and/or a "ledge" in the outside wall. This creates someplace on the pot to catch the runny glaze.

[@TheRenexxxxxx]

YouHAVE to check out Mayco Blue Hydrangea. It is amazing. Also with these glazes you have to really stir them up from the bottom

[@gsandau]

I store mine upside down as well. Blue Hydrangea is one of my favorites. Mayco also makes a Celadon Bloom that is pretty

[@axolotl.4078]

Your videos are always such a delight!

[@desertpotter1003]

Really like your glaze testings, thanks!

[@julieedmonson9369]

I have been using the laguna crystaline glazes for 6 years with no problems and now I was told that any glaze with Crystals is NOT food safe. How do I check to see if it is food safe?

[@donut6429]

Fill a Gree. Gotchu bro.

[@barbaradinsdale9386]

Your commentary had me 🤣, and your work 💕

[@Kusunoky]

Wow looks amazing!. Also me to I dont like look of the raw work except if the clay have any other decorations.

[@vadicus]

You have a great sense of humor lol

[@evagarcia58]

Loved how they turned out👍🏼. Do you think you will try the glaze at ^6 ? I’m curious 😁. Thank you for all your videos.. You crack me up AND your very informative.

[@Adastra5151]

Yeah I really dig raw work

[@garydyarman6384]

Like the raw work!

[@heathersquires668]

Love these!

[@barbka4009]

Thanks for testing these glazes! Super excited to try it. Problem is that I use a community kiln and I don’t have control over the kiln settings. They run usually cone 6 and any dripping is met with a frownie face note. Hate those. Time to get my own kiln I guess. Damn you Laguna!

[@cre2919]

Thanks for sharing

[@CraterFilms]

Can you try metallic glazes?

[@megga1886]

I love your vidoes!

[@Meifuly]

Hello, ceramic master. Have you ever tried to make small vases with mini clay machines? This should be fun.

[@EarthNationCeramics]

I have. And I'm sorry to say that I hate it.

[@Meifuly]

@@EarthNationCeramics Is it because it limits creation?

[@EarthNationCeramics]

It's mostly because it's a testament to his skill and nothing else....like.... making stuff as big as a human being is cool and skillful and making stuff as little as a mouse is cool and skillful..... But I see no functional used either one unless it's a commission and somebody really wants it... It's a "flex" and it seems, especially in ceramic art magazines that it's overvalued.... I don't find it more impressive if it's super small and I don't find it more impressive because it's super big, I understand it takes a pretty big amount of skill but at the end of the day people seem to like to watch it more than they need it.

[@Meifuly]

@@EarthNationCeramics I agree with you that large ceramic art will have higher value and bring visual impact. thank you

[@michellestratman8893]

Are the crystal glazes food save?

[@kruptedglaze290]

Yo yes

[@cindytaylor5962]

Thanks for doing a cone 5 it’s hard to find samples and that’s all I have available close to home. Both studios say, it’s only 46 degrees it not that different, but I do see differences. They say it’s more stable or are they just afraid of dripping?

[@xPezzottix228]

Is there a way to buy just the crystals included in these types of glazes?

[@gsandau]

Spectrum makes some. Sheffield Pottery carries them.

[@keynanp8462]

Wow I am really early

[@keynanp8462]

You should try Mayco's Obsidian with a white glaze overtop

[@XenobiaF]

You pronounce "filigree" fill-agree

[@seanfarrell2862]

You laugh about putting your cup on a kiln post, but I do that all the time..... didn't know it was weird.... now I'm self conscious.

[@Adastra5151]

Fil. A. Gree. Buck a roo

[@leedlewan25]

My studio makes there own lavender filigreed and fires at cone 6 and that shit runs like crazy and the crystals are not consistent. It’s good to know crystalline glazes are possible for those of us who dont have access to cone 10 kilns.

[@chupablahblah]

we fire ours to cone 9 and do holds and all that and make our own recipes and strain a million times and blah blah blah. so if we do a store bought one do we need to strain it? my friend did this and took out a bunch of pebbles and i couldn't help but think they artificially add crystals to the store bought stuff. thoughts?

[@EarthNationCeramics]

I didn't strain or sieve the store bought one but the cone 6 recipe ones I play with I do sieve.

[@Illuminating.Outer.Darkness]

you shouldn't sieve the store-bought crystal glazes. All of those little pebbles are crystals.

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Yup. 👌

[@shuvalassaf]

Crystalline glaze will produce beautiful crystals at cone 10, but requires a lot of work and dedication. Store bought results are extremely disappointing.

[@BasilWallace]

The first one is pronounced - Fill-i-grey. The second one is pronounced - Blue Millennial

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Boomer blue, you mean?

[@BasilWallace]

@@EarthNationCeramics I didn't know winter could come around twice in a year, but it's snowflake season
