Glazing Basics / full length video / free to watch
This video will give you all the basics you need to know in order to glaze a pot. My glazing videos are meant for pots that are already bisque-fired, and headed for a glaze firing in an electric kiln. Everyone needs to know these basics, which is why I'm giving away the video for free!

By far the best glazing tutorial, so unselfish. The artist is sharing so many things that she has learned through experience and repetition. A humble thank you!
One of the best glazing tutorials I have seen. Good to have someone who only talks about glazing and not what their cat or weather is doing.

You’re exactly right! Straight to the point which is what I love!! Thank you 🎉
This is the best glazing tutorial I have seen on KZread. The level of explanation is fantastic. Not overly complicated, yet detail most people are leaving out. I an grateful for the lesson.
Excellent video! This should be required viewing in ANY ceramics class on all levels of instruction. For the experienced potter, a review never hurts. For the learner, this is the most clear and concise explanation of the various ways to glaze and to use wax resist that I've ever viewed. Personally, I never knew how to use hot wax so this was a plus for me. You deserve a great deal of credit for your teaching techniques: you make it look easy when we all know it is not and can be very challenging. Thank you very much for being so generous with your knowledge.
Love all the calm easy going instruction. I kinda wish in the end I could see the finished product, although I know it isn't necessary

I completely agree. And not just examples with the end result, but likewise it would be great if we could see an example every time something is explained so that you can see exactly what the cause and effect/result would be like. E.g. at one point it is explained if you dip first one half in glaze and then the other half you will get a middle part where the color is different. Right there it would have been cool with an example, so that we could see what that would look like. Also examples of why you should do it this way, because then it would turn out like so (example shown). If, on the other hand, you do it in this other way or e.g. a wrong way,, it will result in something that looks like this (another example shown). Hope this is a little inspiration for another video and a HUGE thank you for a wonderful and very informative video.

You can see my finished work on my website: goodelephant.com/recent-work. But as you noted correctly, my glazes and pots will look different from everyone else’s. There’s so much variation in materials within pottery, showing the end results in this video could be more misleading than helpful.

So true! The instructions are so calmly provided. I could totally relate! 😊😊
You were born to teach! I just purchased a kiln, and was so confused about glazing. However, the more videos I watch the more confused I felt. By the time I was finished watching I had been down so many rabbit trails with the presenter that I didn't know which way was up. Thank you for this concise video. It cleared everything up!
The best instructional video on glazing basics, also like the extra tip on towel and bucket. Thank you
Thank you for the refresher. Very informative for new potters and good review for us old ones❤️
Thank you - always something new to learn. You're a great instructor!
I am so glad to see an in-depth video about dipping glaze techniques. I use all your methods with success. My ‘duh’ moment was when you rested the pot on two dowels to pour glaze over the underside of the bowl. It will be life changing for me!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Your experience is so clear from this video. Every element of your process is completely dialled in! I hope to one day be this good with my process, thank you ever so much for sharing.
No, I was really looking forward to seeing the results! This was wonderful, thank you so much!
Wonderfully clear video with lots of great tips! So nicely narrated too. Perfect!
I love your videos! You make me so excited to get started. You are a fantastic instructor! Thank you for these videos!
This video is absolutely gold. I learnt so much from it. Thank you!
Thank you SO much! I've watched many videos but none were nearly as helpful as this one! Very clear, information-dense and delivered in a way that is easy to follow and understand. SUCH a delight for a neophyte like me. Agree that it would have been wonderful to see the finished products though. I'm sure they were (are) beautiful!
Can't stop thinking about how informative this video is... thank you so much
Thank you for your time. Very informative.
This incredibly soothing to watch, too. Thank you
So grateful for the tips about bucket and towel!
Wow!!! I love your teaching style!! Thank you so much, I’ve learned so much !!
Thanks so much for the considered, methodical instruction! Your communication style is so so appreciated :)
I'm so glad I watched this. I've been rinsing brushes and glazing containers in my sink. I will start using "The Bucket" like I do for clay, and hope I don't need to call a plumber! Thanks.
Thank you! Your video is a gift of useful, wonderfully helpful, information.
New at glazing happy to see a video and ty, now I feel more confident to do glazing and little better understanding it
Educational video is a must-see!. Thank you for your time and patience in your explanations.

Thank you so much for this video. Extremely informative for us newbies!!!
I really understood each step in the glazing process because you demonstrated each one. Everything was clearly explained. You obviously know your material through lots of experience. I appreciate that. I subscribed to your channel.
I appreciate your videos greatly. Awsome wax resist technique. Thanks. Karl

Great information. Thank you 🌟
Thank you so much for this video. I just started working with clay within the last year and enjoy finding good, common-sense tutorials. I have subscribed and will continue to enjoy your videos.
very clear, emphasizing the results of careless glazing process THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you very much for sharing! You are the great teacher :)
So helpful - thank you! Great tips.
This is wonderful! Thank you
Excellent video, thank you so much.
Thank you! Picked up a few tips that I didn't know. Been waxing and glazing pottery for about 10 years now, not in my own studio, but in a professional studio with a great teacher; everyone has a few different things that they do; had never seen the "toilet brush" trick for stirring the glaze! Will have to try that one.
Thank you! Great tips, not so nervous about glazing now.
Thank you so much for this informative video! I study ancient Korean porcelain, but I've never made it myself. I hope to learn some day.
The best glazing tutorial !
excelente video , gracias
Excellent video !Thanks a lot !
brilliant video! you're so good at this!
Thank you so much for the valuable instructions and tips. It is very useful to me as sm a beginner
thank you for such an informative video! loved it!
Thank you from Jennifer Downunder in Australia very informative.. Will be certainly watching more of you videos
Excellent video. When I want a nice line to follow for cold waxing, I take a sharp pencil and lay it flat on a table, placing the tip on my pot. Then I either move the pot around to get a line or move the pencil around. I do not like a large unglazed foot, so I use glazes that do not run and I can take the glaze down close to the edge of the foot. I also use slotted stiff spatulas to stir up my glazes.
The video I needed to understand this new world I am getting into!
Very clearly explained. Thanks
Muy buena explicación. Brava. Un saludo desde Altea
Thank you. Very well explained. It would have been nice to see the outcome!
Thank you for your amazing video 👍
Very good instruction. I have been doing ceramics for over a year and struggling with glazing. No one explained in detail these techniques. I have dipped and poured and brushed but rarely satisfied with results. Agree this should be basic instruction in all beginning classes.
when i first started pottery i remember finding this video and i found the information invaluable, a few years on, glazing is not my favourite part of the process and has become my nemesis. im trying to add surface texture and design that i can then simply glace by dipping. your video is still om of my favourites about glazing as you explain it so well so now ive found it again, it will stay on my watch later list. thankyou for making it less daunting than i make it out to be. x
So comprehensive and clearly described, Thank you for all the useful disposal and storage tips too. XX Black Sheep Arts Isle of Wight.

thank you so much for such a great video. Super informative and a clear step by step process. I learnt so much :)))
thanks. I took ceramics ages ago and never learned about waxing. Well done. conscise
I enjoy a lot of different types of pottery videos on KZread, but so far I think you’re the best pure instructor I’ve seen for pottery! Thank you for the excellent video. I’ve been self-teaching (or really, KZread teaching) the pottery process and I’ve just now gotten ready to try glazing and firing some pieces. This video makes me feel much more confident in success!
Great sharing ❤ I about to take a class on this soon 😍
Thanks for the Video. In my experience, hot wax can be applied in a more fluent way to all the shown issues quite well, when is diluted by some drips of lamp oil. I never use cool wax , love the hot stuff, even as stinky as it is.. . Glazing should be done by pouring out quickly and fluently after pouring in, by one twist of the wrist, which could be trained, before glazing a real piece, by just using a mug and water as a dummy, till the moves, needed to be learned to cover the inside of a mug, are smooth and fluent - one can easily avoid nasty rims by this. Cleaning off rims ( just in case) could well and precisely be done with a damp sponge.
Nice video. Thanks
Excellent vedio ❤
great video!
Great video. Thank you for all the wonderful information. Your presentation is scrupulous. I don't currently work with ceramics but I am researching possible hobbies for my retirement years. Ceramics is high on my list of interests. I'll be watching more of your videos.
Pls make more videos. You make great content
I just found your channel, this is a great glazing video. I would love to see the results!
Excellent video. Which I'd watched it 10 years ago! (I know it's only 2 years old!!)
