Tricky wallflower glazing and getting into all the petals

I was asked how I would glaze this wall flower I made in a previous video so here's a short video showing in fast forward how I glazed it using brush on glazes with a few things I was thinking about as I glazed.
I hope this is helpful and if you have any questions please just ask 😊

I enjoyed watching you make it, it's a beautiful flower, I did wonder how it would work out building onto the come shape but all became clear. Now I've watched the glaze process, Thank you for sharing its just beautiful

[@PaulaArmstrongCeramics]

Thanks 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@micheledickey4066]

Wow. What a chore!! It’s soooo beautiful!! I don’t use soo and pour glazes but could this have been dipped or poured?

[@PaulaArmstrongCeramics]

Yes, you absolutely could but, especially with dipping, I think you would find you still have to go in with a brush after to get the inside spaces that the glaze missed. I expect it would still be quicker though 😊

You used ary lic paints

[@PaulaArmstrongCeramics]

Not for this, no. I used brush on glazes for ceramics which I then fired in the kiln.

Love your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge. What sort of clay do you use? I bought some sculpting clay, but it is very moist and sticky. Thank you

[@PaulaArmstrongCeramics]

Thanks ☺️ I use potterycrafts raku modelling clay which is a lightly grogged buff clay that I fire to stoneware. If the clay is too moist and sticky would it help if you let it dry a bit before using do you think? I often wedge up clay that's too wet to remove some of the moisture .

What is the product with a yellow cap it was hard to read because there was a fast show and then it was gone. And it doesn't look like it was in English? What type of glaze did you use for the pedals is that underglaze and did you piss fire first or is this leather hard bone dry? Thank you

[@PaulaArmstrongCeramics]

Hi. I did bisque fire first, with such fine petals I wanted the added strength this gives to avoid breaking them. The main glaze was Spectrum Autumn Purple, a mid-fire glaze. The yellow lid glaze was Terra Color Eisblume FS6002 which is Ice Flower, a lovely mottled white glaze that I layered on the purple just around the edges to add some variation in colour. It was the fired to 1205C with a 15 min soak.

At do you seal with

[@PaulaArmstrongCeramics]

This is made in ceramic clay so I finished it with glaze and fired it in the kiln to 1200C

J'ai essayé mais la réussite n'est pas comme vous...plusieurs questions. 1 quand vous déplacer la fleur sur le support rond,faut-il attendre que la fleur soit sèche ? Car impossible de la bouger lorsqu'elle est à peine fini elle se déforme avec le poids... J'ai donc attendu qu'elle soit sèche...mais n'est plus aussi volumineuse en hauteur...et certaines petales se sont fissurées...j'ai utilisé de l'argile qui sèche à l'air...en tout cas bravo à vous

[@PaulaArmstrongCeramics]

Je vais essayer a responder en francais... Attender un peu pour que la fleur soit plus seche c'est une Bonne idee, mais pas complement seche. En ce cas c'est beaucoup plus susceptible d'être cassé quand vous deplacez la fleur. 🤞 J'espere que mon francais soit assez bien pour que vous cromprenez 🙈
