16. Glaze Layering - My Thought Process - Amaco - Small Fruit Bowl. 16/10/20 

Love! I really appreciate your dialogue as well.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your thought process and glaze combinations. 😊

I love your color combinations. I am beginning to explore the same ideas so this was very helpful and inspiring!

Perhaps not use the lid as a palette. Keep the lid and rim clean. I use a saran wrap (cling film) folded over double which works for me. When I shake the lid stays clean. I have to change the plastic at about 1/2 empty. Less mess and waste. Love playing with Amaco and mixing with other brands as well. Great video. I just subscribed.

Turn jar upside down and put it in water. It will release the stuck glaze quickly.

I could hear you very clearly today. I am so excited because your information is excellent. I love the glazes that you have chosen. I will follow you now that I can understand you. Thank you for being so responsive.

What an inspiration Thanks for sharing I will be definitely be trying some of these glazes

Wow, that came out beautiful!

Fabulous result, so beautiful.

Very beautiful. Could you give a demo how to throw a goblet? Thanks.

Awesome result! I REALLY appreciate that you show the glazing process, step-by-step AND follow that up immediately with the FINISHED result! ( I'd give you an 11 on a scale of 10 for doing that) You have SUCH good taste in your glaze combinations - what a 'feast for the eyes!" Mmmmmmmmmmm

because it was a hot cone 6, did that make the blue stone more blue? The PC 22 label looks turquoise...your piece looks indigo or cobalt.

Hello Lois it's very beautiful, I like the way you put your glazes. Excuse my bad "English I'm from Belgium and I watch all your videos. Thank you, josi rica

Just want to say thank you for these video's. I am a sculptor and just trying to get into glazes. Your video's are really helpful.

Lois, that is absolutely beautiful! Glazing is an art form all on its own that I am trying to master. Really enjoy your videos and I also would love to see you throw a goblet. From North Carolina USA.

I always clean the rim before closing. Next time every thhe jar can be opened easely.

The glaze on those goblets looks like the northern lights. It even appears luminescent. Beautiful!

Thank you so much 💕 adding your thought process adds so much to the learning.

beautiful work!!!! heat up the glazes under warm/hot water for easier lid release.

Isn't that just drop-dead gorgeous? As for the sticky tops, I live in a retirement community and work at the community pottery. We are required to wipe down the top of the container, and the lid and then add a new piece of plastic wrap. Works perfectly. I look forward to seeing all of your videos now!

Just found you on RU-vid! Great videos! Really enjoyed watching your process and will continue to follow!

I am very new to ceramics and have much to learn about glazing. I LOVE hearing your thought process!!! Thank you for sharing this so generously!

Your techniques and color combinations are awesome!

If you run the jar under water for a few seconds, it will loosen the top. Works every time!

I just wipe the lid out and the top of the jar before I put them away and they never stick 😀

Thank you sooo soo much. The colors are amazing together. Fantastic bravo 👏

amazing!

to open jar put it on the floor and use your foot. press foot on it and roll back and forth it will open

I run the lid under a little hot water and that usually works...upside down

Oh, my, the bowl came out beautifully!

To help with the lid opening, I wipe the rim before I place the cap back on......I also have placed the jar upside down in water, let it sit for a short bit, then opened the jar without a problem. Best wishes, you inspire me to be courageous with my glaze combinations.

Those shallow bowl of textured turquoise and copper are beautiful. As of last December we are unable to get copper here in the US. Haven't checked recently - It was a favorite of mine.

Wow what a result on that bowl!

i have to run my jars under hot water so I can remove the lid

Your work is stunning, and your personality shines brighter than your most beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing!!

Not Goblet but Dessert Bowl❤

Wow I'm blow away your glazes are beautiful.

Can you talk louder. I am wanting to hear what you’re saying but you’re mumbling at times especially when you get up away from the microphone.

Thank you for sharing!

So beautiful, but I wish you’d list the glazes. Some I missed but I will try to watch again & take notes.

Beautiful bowls.

What were the layer breakdowns for your midnight skies?

Hi Lois, run the lid area under warm water and it will unscrew easily x

What do you do now Ancient Copper has been discontinued?

If you upend you’re stuck lid into water and then dry off the lid unscrews easily.

Nice work!

I dip my jars upside down in a bucket of hot water

I always wipe the threads on every glaze jar before on screw the lid back on. Saves me from fighting to reopen them.

Brilliant, thank you. Loved watching your thought process. I have some bowls I've got a lovely chatter on and wasn't sure how to glaze to accentuate it. I'll try this on Monday.

I love your glazes, just stunning!

Try running warm water on your glaze bottles & they will open easier because somtimes they get a lil stuck when we dont get the chance to wipe off the rim. Works for me😊. Love the glaze combos!

I loved learning how you considered your layering. Thank you for your generosity.

Amazing! Thanks for taking your time to teach us. Your work is stunning.

What an amazing video. Thank you so much. My heart is full.

What is the tool you used to get the lid off the glaze jar and where can I get one? I’ve never seen anything that looks like that!

I run water into the opening of the stuck lids and that seams to help me out.

Absolutely love your video presentations...thanks so much for doing them....Have been doing cone 10 and now transitioning to a cone 5-6 home Scutt kiln. Really like the layering method of glazing. The outcomes are fantastic...thanks again from Wisconsin USA

Beautiful glazing. Enjoyed the video

How's many layers of glaze do you typically do? I follow Amaco guidance with 2 layers + 1 layer but find it's still so see through/you can see the brush strokes

A little water,around lid works well👍

Thanks, great video!!!

I love these combos, I was able to have a friend listen to get the glazes and order of procedure. Question on ancient copper. I am in a studio but don’t get to control the kiln. Since it needs the hottest part, where should I have them place it. When I asked there is no hot spots, and there is a slow cool down. Wasn’t sure if it should be at the top middle or bottom to try and get it hotter. I’m certain they don’t reach cone 7. Loved the bowl, I think your order was textured amber brown (friend wasn’t sure if that’s what you said and I definitely can’t hear, then seaweed, then emerald forest over the seaweed and amber brown. Then blue stone at the rim inside and outside then oatmeal thick inside, not thick outside. Also since you have tried amaco, a great combo is Steven hills mystery magic (top only, with maroon over it with 3 layers. I’d show a pic but don’t know how on this. Thanks a ton.

What was the red inside the Bowl you showed us. the one with the storm on the outside? I have real trouble getting a good red unless I use Stroke and coat or under-glaze with clear on top

How do you make such a clean line between where the glaze ends and the foot?

Lois, where do you get your brushes? Not sure I've seen that style before. Thanks

Which glaze are you using as copper?
