Crystalline Pottery - How to prepare a piece for glazing by Adam MacMillan 

Thumbs up, crystals are beautiful, didn't watch this whole video but will be clicking on another @Adam MacMillan vid to find out the meat and potatoes of how those thick beautiful crystals are formed!

Great Video; Those Pale Green Bowls, shown at about time stamp 1:37, and 10:54 time stamps, are two of the most beautiful bowls I have ever seen -- Truly masterful! Well done!

crystalline glazes are something i want to learn, but i live in the middle of nowhere. I love RU-vid, because good folks like you become accessible teachers for people like me. Thank You!

great post thank you so much

There are basically two formulas people are using. First is approximately 1/3,1/3,1/3 alumina hydrate, wood glue, and water, by volume. Second is the same but substitute EPK for the alumina. I have found that the alumina cleans up easier from my porcelain body and EPK tends to stick. The goal is to get a thin layer of the ceramic in the seam to prevent glaze from seeping through, so you can adjust those ratios to your liking.

♥️ Thank you! I love the beautiful crystal glaze pottery!

Thank You ..Well explained

So helpful! Thanks so much!

Excellent tutorial…thanks for sharing!

Excellent video gave a lot of great information

Wow amazing video. Thank you for such a great explanation! Do all crystalline glazes need these catch basins?

Sir Adam, really nice teaching lesson, is a bit difficult to listen if mic put close to you is better. Hopefully waiting for next lesson too. Thank for sharing.

Hello Adam, I am French and I watch your videos with great interest to improve my skills in crystallization. I'm a beginner and self-taught and I admit that sometimes it's not easy! There's a video on "catchers" and I didn't understand the part with the refractory brick. My question is: I lay a square of firebrick on a plate, then I lay my piece on that brick. Do I have to put glue between the brick and the piece? Do I have to put some enamel on the brick? Anyway thank you for your videos which are great! Have a nice day Beatrice

Thanks for the video and detailed instructions. Can you please write the ingredients for the binding? Alumina... small particle something I didn’t hear properly, Gorilla Glue - for wood- and water? That’s it?

Dommage pas de sous titres 😬😬😬😬

You fire glue???

Adam, what ratio of glue/ alumina/ water do you use? Thank you

Where do you recommend we get the grinding disk? Nice instruction, too.

Approximately how much alumina to glue do you recommend?

How long do you wait for it to dry?

audio needs help, can't hear half of what you said :-(
