Glazing Pottery | Introduction to Pottery 

You are so welcome! Thanks for joining us.

Maintain a high enough density of glaze and use CMC to increase the viscosity of the glaze.

Jerry Whidby yes it’s very possibly. Mix glaze components in dry form. There’s chemistry tables that help you create a glaze that actually works.

@@Alex-zx3pv I have heard of salt and ash glazes, but what is the main component in the glazes used in this video?

So glad you enjoyed this! Definitely not too late to learn!

From where do that shine comes in those vases and ceramics..?

Hey! I’m also struggling with the glazes, have you figured it out? Thanks :)

Find a local studio and take some classes

A wax (comercial name 'wax resist') that repells water/glaze. Beeswax will harder too fast to be able to work with it. Some people use latex instead.

@@____Ann____ thank you very much!

Priscila, la presentadora dice que el wax que usa es "REED WAX", en Norte America lo puedes encontrar en tiendas de Pottery, haz una busqueda en google con el argumento: reed wax mondaes . Reed wax viene del wax que se usa en la reparaciones de acordiones y siendo que el acordion es un instrumento importante para el Tango, no dudo que puedas encontrar el Reed Wax que artesanos de acordiones usan en tu pais. Yo no he usado Reed Wax aun, pero se que el Reed Was que venden para pottery no se necesita calentar para que tenga consistencia liquida, el que los que reparan acordiones usan si lo calientan antes de usarlo. Buena suerte.

Those graphite crucibles are not fully made out of graphite, but are technically fired pottery with a lot of graphite in them. Pencil marks are just graphite powder sitting atop the surface. Powder is easy to ignite, something that's mixed and solid is not.
