This series was super helpful to me in understanding a number of things that I've observed in my early trials with glazing, and I'm sure even more will become apparent now that I know what to look for. I am saddened to hear of Phil's passing, but glad you are carrying forward his legacy and wisdom. Pottery is truly one of the best expressions of being human. 🙏

Stacy, I don’t enjoy this correction, Phil was a font of information, he passed away in July of 2021 and these videos serve as his legacy. Fortunately he was my business partner for five years and my pottery instructor before that! I hope to continue his legacy on this Chanel.

@@WashingtonStreetStudios 😪 OMG - I am so very sorry. What a loss. He is/was an amazing teacher. I had hoped to meet him on my next trip back East. Washington Street Studios was clearly extremely lucky to have him as a part of your staff -- a gold mine of information & presented in such an accessible way.

for brushing glazes I add some wallpaper glue. That is mostly cellulose gum

@stacygriffith8660 Год назад

Phil briefly mentioned using a live leaf as resist. How please? I understand paper resist as it’s absorbent and one can use water to stick it on. How would you get a leaf to act as resist? I love using botanicals. Would love to know! Thanks

@WashingtonStreetStudios Год назад

Phil created platters using a layer of white slip, then he would put leaves, ostrich ferns were his favorite, on the white slip and paint a dark slip over the leaves. When the shine started to disappear on the second coat he would pull the leaves off. He bisque fired the piece and put a translucent glaze over top. They looked really cool.

@luisinamusso5220 2 года назад

Hi!! As always thank you so much so generously sharing your knowledge 🙌. What do you mean when you talekd about "spray starch" on the glazed piece? What kind of material/ingredient is it? Thank you!!

@WashingtonStreetStudios 2 года назад

Spray starch is used for ironing clothes, but not so much anymore! You can also use hairspray or any spray on adhesive. You can also use white glue diluted in water, 1 part glue to 10 parts water, and spray it on with an atomizer or pump spray bottle. I hope this helps!

@mosseyw 4 года назад

Thanks a million for the maple syrup tip, I have been brushing on my own glaze and found it very annoying, as you describe, once it hits the pot it dries almost instantly. I found I was trying to work faster to beat it , but that doesn’t really work.

@WashingtonStreetStudios 4 года назад

When Phil first gave me that advice I couldn't believe it! It works like a charm and any glaze can be made brushable. Thanks for the comment!

What size screen do you recommend for spraying ?

That will depend on your spraygun or spray device. I use a 40 mesh sieve before spraying.

@hinalshah5458 4 года назад

Hi Phil, I recently used the Laguna Moroccan sand glazes and Coyote's satin glazes, both are cone 5/6 glazes for 04 bisqued earthenware. The colors however didn't come through and I believe that's a firing temperature/ cooling issue. Could you kindly guide on what you think could have possibly been the issue?

@WashingtonStreetStudios 4 года назад

Hinal Shah, I assume you mean that the earthenware clay (red?) was glazed and then fired to earthenware temperatures (approx. cone 06)? In this case, the glazes would be severely underfired since they are intended for cone 5-6 firing; the glazes would not mature and the colors would not develop properly. If, instead, the pots were fired to the suggested range for the glazes (cone 5-6), and the earthenware clay somehow did not bloat or slump, then the glazes could be mature, but at the elevated temperature, the glazes would react somewhat with the partially melted clay, and the colors of the clay would be "muted" (also due to the colored background of the clay). Thank you for your question and remember to share the channel with your friends and fellow potters! Regards, Phil

@abdullaalduraie7902 2 года назад

Hi, Great Can I apply glaze on cement concrete?

@WashingtonStreetStudios 2 года назад

I don't know, I've never tried. Unfortunately, Phil passed away last July as he might have been able to answer this question.

@jabeenirfan8218 3 года назад

Hi there. In one of your videos to said to wipe the surface of the bisqued fired surface before applying glaze, what of I apply glaze on a greenware surface too?

@WashingtonStreetStudios 3 года назад

Wiping the surface of a pot is to remove dust and debris that may clog the pores of the clay and impede the glaze from penetrating. If there is a dust or dirt buildup on your greenware then you should wipe it off. But you will need to let the greenware fully dry before glazing or the glaze will not penetrate and adhere to the clay or you could end up with shivering or crawling. Good question, thanks!

@jabeenirfan8218 3 года назад

Another question, hope I am not bothering you a lot. If my glazed piece is on the shelf for a while it gather dust on it's surface which I find very hard to remove is that ok to fire it that way with some dust on the glazed surface i.e.

@WashingtonStreetStudios 3 года назад

@@jabeenirfan8218 Firing with some dust on the glaze surface won't hurt the kiln and most likely will not show up in the final product since most organic material will burn off during the firing. If you have something to cover the pots when they are glazed and waiting to be fired that would be best. Keep the covering loose, you really don't want to trap any moisture.
