What is slip? Glaze? Underglaze? A few things explained- Home Pottery School... 

Thank you this has been so helpful as a complete beginner

Clearest description I have heard.

I have searched and searched for a clear explanation of this. You have finally answered all of my questions in one very well explained video! Thank you so very much! Brilliant!

i want to be like you when i grow older. wear a dungaree and have my own studio and teach people! haha

WOW! I am in the midst of my very first pottery class ( 8 weeks, 3 hours on Monday nights and open use to the studio thru out the week) I have been OVERWHELMED with the language and building a relationship with clay, but I AM enjoying the process! However when I stumbled upon this video yesterday- because I was searching for a clear(er?) understanding of the terms you describe, I was Thrilled!! I’ve now subscribed to your posts and look forward to further enlightenment ❤️

Wonderful! Love your presentation! This is like listening to a bed time story for potters. Off to sleep now and glazing in the morning!! Thank you 🙂 Annette

You are so good at sharing your knowledge. Thanks! x

The best description. Thank you. Helps me a lot ❤️

This was so extremely informative! Thank you!!!

i have been searching for this explanation for months!! THANK YOU!

Just found your site. Loving it! You make things easy to understand. Thank you!

What a delightful conversation we just had. Thank you!

Wonderful and informative! Something about your personality made me feel nostalgic! Thanks for sharing!

Explained beautifully 👌🏽 Thank you! 🌸

Apart from being really informative it's also such a fun video to watch. Thank you Jane and looking forward to seeing more videos from you! :)

Thank you so much for explaining all of this in a fun and informative way!

Great video all I needed to know thanks so much for sharing your knowledge !

very informative and crystal clear

Thank u for this video, it cleared a lot up for me!

This is gold! Thank you.

I just discovered you. Your a great teacher. I'm just finishing up my 6month pottery course & glazing can be confusing. U made it sound so simple. Thanks

thank you so much for this! So helpful!

What a great informative video - thank you so much 😊🙏👍

This is the explanation I’ve been looking for!

Thank you, this answered all my questions!

You're delightful. Thank you for the info

Thanks very well explained thank you Jane😊🇬🇧❤️

This kind of a video is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for presenting it so well, teaching comes naturally to you! Love from India :D

So helpful!!! Fantastic! Thank you so much!❤️

Just. What I needed as a raw beginner thank you

Great thank you for explaining!

Thanks for the clear explanation of what a slip is 👍

Thank you, this is very heplful ☺️

Thank you for this. A useful explanation. 👌 😊

Lots of fun watching your explanations ..THere are so many families of clay and happy melting temperatures .It might be fun to tell your audience that you are firing at (I am guessing Orton cone 06 to 03 ) just under 2000F. Mid range cone 6 and high temperature rules are a little different but relatable ..It might be fun to do a clip on where your glazes sit in the big picture of Earthenware up to high fired stonewares ...All the best from New England , Yours Guy

thanks aloooot! you seem to be really kind and outstanding person 😍

That was wonderful! Thanks so much!

amazing video thanks !!

fab video, great descriptions. I'm living in Spain and learning pottery in a local school and we use 'engobe' to describe underglaze. Now I know what it is in English!

That was fantastic!! Had my first hand build class today as a complete novice at the technical college and the teacher was saying “slip” this and slip that and I’m like.. what the hell is slip?! Now I know and a feel well informed on so much more. Thankyou ❤

Excellent thank you!

Thank you! I now understand!x

Thanks a lot!!

That was a very good basic explanation.

Thank you for this share.

wow this was so helpful and informative but friendly and casual hahah

Very helpful, thank you! :)

This is incredible. Thank you!!+!

This was grrrrreat, thank you !!!

Love your way of explaining things. Very clear, now finally I know the difference. Any new video's coming soon?

Just getting my first kiln, so excited. As I have never fired a kiln and do not own any glazes this has been most useful, thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this. You said you were selling the underglazes, I looked on your web site and could not see any section for glazes, could you advise where they are located please as I rather fancy having a dabble! Many thanks JJ

I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your teaching style. May i ask if you do raku work and fire in a pit? i dont have access to a kiln and would really like to be able to do pottery work

I am really enjoying your no nonsense, easy to understand tutorials! In this one, however, explaining what slip, underglaze and glaze is - I would still like to understand why you use each - I am a relative beginner and struggling to understand what finished effect slip, underglaze and glaze achieve. What is the context? Love your classes! Thank you. Sarah

Hola. No se inglés pero entendí todo lo que explicaste, eres muy didáctica enseñando. No se donde vivis pero tu inglés es muy claro. Gracias ‼️ Muy bueno el vídeo 👏 👌 Viviana Carracedo. Saludos cordiales desde Rosario-Argentina 👋👋

Great videos! I’m assuming that the same care has to be taken regarding contact with the kiln shelf in bisque firing when applying under glazes to leather hard clay as with glazes due to the slight vitrification?

Thank you! Lovely education on the options and uses, saved me some disappointment I am sure.

Thanks you explain things so clear!Interested in pottery.Stay safe,you are a gem!Cheers!

This was very helpful!. I will question I have, is what about stains ?

Can I put a clear glaze over a colour glaze? Ot do I have to use colour underglaze only under a clear glaze?

I'm going to go back through and see if you covered this and I missed it. (Today I seem to have the attention span of a kid, with portion control issues, that found their mom's chocolate covered coffee beans stash.) Can you mix clay bodies/slips as long as they can be fired at the same temp? (Low, mid, high) can you use porcelain slip in low or mid fire clay bodies as long as you don't go over the highest recommended temp of the lowest fire clay used? Do different clays have different shrink rates or should I just dry them extra slow? Even if this wasn't answered in the video, I know I missed enough to watch it again. You shared a lot of good info. I'm about to get a dedicated pottery room (bounce, bounce) there are so many things I have planned! I'm even going to have a bathroom! (Bounce, bounce bounce) (this could be where the coffee bean effect is coming from?!)

Hi! Is it safe to ramp fire wet green ware that has been under glazed? I’m teaching a rattle making class and only have one day to give students on this project and want them to have the option to underglaze their pieces but I’m worried about them exploding! Of course we’ll be sure to add a vent hole but will that be enough to let the moisture burn off gradually in a slow ramp fire? Or should I encouraged them to add some Sgraffito details to provide more exposed greenware to allow the moisture to evaporate? I’ve got some basics under my belt but am still new to ceramics processes. This video was so helpful!

Can you use underglaze to decorate a bowl, then apply a clear glaze over top before firing? Or do you have to fire twice (after bisque)?

Thanks for this upload❤❤ Million respects and likes🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 In history I read many terms that weren't clear to me. Today I learnt about slip so easily.👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏 I beg you to please make a video on the red- and black- painted ware.🙏🙏 And please explain the meaning of "painted" in this red and black painted ware.🙏🙏🙏 If I say "ochre coloured pottery", then can you please explain what is the meaning of this phrase ochre coloured pottery???? Can you please explain the difference between painted ware and polished ware as well??🙏🙏🙏🙏 Please please please do explain that as well🙏🙏🙏

Hi Jane, Can u mix coloured slips, or glazes to create colours that you do not have?

Great video Jane. Someone gave me raw powder oxides. What do you use as a base to make them liquiid?

I'm am starting out , I lost label and thought my greenware was red clay , so I bought glazes . I am wondering , how do you go about coloring greenware ? I already did a bisque .

Can one use oxides on texture underneath a celadon glaze?

What do I need to know about underglaze when making dishes like plates and cups?

Also, the first video I watched about underglazes, the potter was applying it to bone dry

I'm in the U.S. and wonder about your pigment free underglaze. All I have found on this side of the pond are white underglazes. Is that the same?

Can you glaze over under glaze and fire then at the same time. Or do they need seperate runs?

Thank you, this was very helpful. For a newb it can be very frustrating getting to understand the absolute basics and the meanings of all the names for materials, methods, equipment and processes - because so many talks, videos and even books assume a level of knowledge a total beginner does not have. So, on that thread, please could you do a video to explain the baffling choice amongst all the different clays? I mean, when ordering your very first ever batch, what do you do?

How do you color your slip orange ?

I’m so new to this and I love the way you explain. So apart from using a slip to join pieces together why would you colour slip? Can you decorate with it? ❤️

Hi, I am not sure when you would choose colored slip instead of underglaze or visa versa. Why one instead of the other? Thanks

What would happen if you glaze pottery that has not already been fired and try to do it both at the same time.

do you have to put glaze over an underglaze or can it just be fired as is please?

Clear as mud or green ware or earthenware or?? Just kidding . I’m a newbie and your video was fun 👏🏻subbed and hope to see more 🤓

Tradução!!!!!!!

Deveria ter tradução. Não entendo nada!
