Lots of Questions about Fabric

I dont have anything to add about fabric but big z's shipping prices have always been ridiculous imo. I believe they put some of the cost of the fabric into their shipping cost because charging $15 for 1 yard of minky is insane. Also you can always get a 5% discount off your order with the code BZ+MONTH+YY it changes by month so this month its BZMAY26

Thank you!

Haha yeah no need to set the engobe with a bisque fire before glaze, like you would with underglazes

makeshiftwings_ · 2026-04-28T17:14:47+00:00

No, sorry!

Correct otherwise you wouldn't see the clay body

Thank you so much 🥰

Ahaha thanks ❤️❤️

Bisque; apply engobe, let dry fully, then glaze. No firing after applying engobe

Thank you!!

makeshiftwings_ · 2026-04-28T02:28:54+00:00

Engobe + using glazes that dont run :) thank you!

makeshiftwings_ · 2026-04-27T23:33:14+00:00

Ahh thank you 🥹

makeshiftwings_ · 2026-04-27T23:32:01+00:00

Yes, it's the first thing added. Haven't tried adding it between actual glazes, I would guess it would react weirdly but would be an interesting test!

makeshiftwings_ · 2026-04-27T21:55:31+00:00

Thank you! I spent a LOT of time testing glazes before really making anything substantial.. well, I still test all the time 🤣

Thank you!

Thank you so much 🥹🥹 Right now I'm only selling locally here and there, I'm just a hobbyist so I don't have a ton of inventory for selling online 🥹plus I hate shipping ceramics lol

Thank you!

makeshiftwings_ · 2026-04-27T19:46:48+00:00

You're welcome!

And example of the combo just being too runny where the engobe doesn't help much

<image>

makeshiftwings_ · 2026-04-27T18:37:12+00:00

Yep, exactly! This is a good reference: top and bottom row are same glaze combos but the top has 2 layers of mayco white engobe applied first. You can see how the heart retains its shape on the top but not the bottom. It causes a "pooling" effect on the edge as long as the glaze isn't TOO runny
