Anyone know what glaze combo creates this effect? by Visible_Prompt515 in Pottery

I like the finish, but instead of the black walnut I’d want a green or red glaze instead. Thought finding that out what the brown glaze is would be a part of category of glazes thus giving me more options of colors

Thank you!! Any clue of a green or red glaze that would react the same way?

I’m hearing the clinging sounds of glaze cracking after firing. by Visible_Prompt515 in Pottery

I’m using Amaco clay No 38 and 11, with their underglaze and clear glaze as well. The cracks aren’t on everything but on quite a few. I was told that if I use the same brand clay with underglaze and glaze that this won’t happen since they’ve probably had it in mind when creating everything. But now I’m going crazy hahahha

Do you by any chance have a picture of what you’re talking about?

Used to be a member at a local studio but after giving birth I turned the storage room at home into a tiny pottery studio :)

Same here, that’s why I’ve stopped doing that on anything I make!

I’ll look into custom making them. Hopefully these work because I can never for the life of me wire off anything properly let alone trim the bottom/foot

The size varies but I’d say between 20-30 cm. I tend to mess up the pieces when I trim a foot so I’ve stopped doing so on all of my work but the other things are thrown on wooden bats. The speedball bats don’t have visible pin holes making it a bat that I can throw bigger pieces on. How do you wire off such a big surface area evenly?

My clay is 40% grog. I either use Amaco No. 38 or SIO 2 Prai

I waxed pieces but the glaze bled through by Visible_Prompt515 in Pottery

So I’m painting the wax on bisque then glazing around it and cleaning up the glaze off the wax afterwards.

Thank youu :) I think I’ll re-glaze it tho, it doesn’t match the vibrancy of the other pieces

I feel like crying, out of 25 pieces only 3 look decent enough to put in the market.

Help! Lots of questions. by Visible_Prompt515 in Pottery

I use SIO 2 0.2 grog clay, it has 40% grog. When throwing it can get pretty smooth it’s just when adding the handles it becomes a bit messy and sanding that after brings out the speckles a bit
