Every one of your videos is awesome. You teach so well. Thank you so much. Lu x

What a generous instructor! Thanks for the intro.

Your energy is awesome and you are so generous. Love your work! Thanks so much for sharing!

Jessica, this is a very educational video on using luster, so much good instruction and guidance here! And I'm glad you gave the type of your kiln (Skutt, me too) and the cone to which you fire, and that you preheat for an hour! You're an awesome pottery instructor!

My goodness!! You're awesome! Thank you so much for being so very generous with your knowledge. It's greatly appreciated!

I work and learn in a great Studio but you are the icing on the cake. Thank you.

Thank you for the video! I can't wait to try out luster on my work!

Thanks for the details! I didn’t realize I needed to use separate brushes and separate thinners or essence.

As always you answer all my questions, you rock.

Oh yay !! U are starting to play guitar I luuuuuv your voice and you will be a great musician/singer.

Thank you for sharing! Those plates are amazing!!!

Hey Jessica, Excellent info as usual! Thanks! I've had good luck using rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to remove any luster mistakes on my work. It's quick and easy - just need to keep getting a clean q-tip as you go.

Awesome video! I'm about to apply the gold luster to a tile wall project at a school. This is going to be awesome. Thank you for such a detailed intro to applying the luster glaze.

You are a very smart lady, we appreciate the tips and advice. "Oooh shiny! " -made me chuckle

Thanks for sharing the film , very nice! i am also a porcelain painter , and paint the gold liquid , i like mix the gold with camphor oil

This was so Helpful 👍... Thank you so much... I purchased Duncan Gold and Silver years ago and never use them... I don't have a Kiln... I WISH... Your Pieces are absolutely beautiful ❣️😍

I would love to see a studio tour to get set up/ organization ideas

Awesome sniper art on your plates. Thanks for the videos, I am shopping around for a small propane kiln.

You can also use very fine grit sandpaper to get rid of purple mistakes! It won’t scratch the glaze

great video! thx!

Hi, Jessica!.. Love your video!.. I'm fairly new to the ceramic world and will be venturing my first attempt with luster!.. I have a small Skutt Firebox kiln and I'm curious as to the proper settings to do this. You had mentioned a 1 hour preheat, medium, and at cone 017. Are you programming in a Hold as well...? I'm applying it to glazed ceramic pendants. If I'm just accenting the front of the pendant can I set it on the kiln shelf itself. I figured because of the much lower cone I wouldn't have to be concerned about the already glazed piece fusing to the kiln... Would that be a correct assumption...? Thank you and I look forward to your response!.. :)

Also, how do you know if you have enough luster on to create a mark free finish?

Great tips! I did my gold luster yesterday and haha I have a smudge I thought I cleaned but obviously didn't because no it's purple... What brand is the gold eraser or where do you buy it from? Thanks!

What glaze colors and brand do you use to get the rainbow so bright? Thanks!

So do you fire the gold luster on a glaze fire or a bisque schedule?

Appreciate your teachings. Very innovative ! 💠✴💠

Hi Jessica! I want to apply gold luster on the rim of a plate about 26 cm diameter, do you know approximately how many plates can I decorate with one bottle of 2g? Thanks for the advice! I love your videos!

How do you know you have the lustre painted on in the proper thickness?

Is your gold luster applied on after glazing and clear glazing? Like is it the last last thing to fire again. So for example is that mug doing to be fired 3 times before its a finished product?

Jessica what do you use to clean all your brushes?

Hi Jessica, I have an old bottle of gold/platinum luster I would like to try. What type of glaze can you apply it to? High Fire & Low Fire? Essentially this is like a third firing of your work, right? Also, i have a big electric kiln- do know what setting i would use for that? Thanks.

Is there any way to remove cloudiness from the lustre? The finish is glossy and Matt in some areas and I am assuming it’s the cloudiness

Hello, I have lusters of various colors and some are thick. Can I condition them with essence?

Love your channel, thank you for sharing your process! Where do you find the gold eraser? They don't have it at my local shop and I was wondering if you could recommend an on-line shop. Cheers! Leah

You really should set up a ventilation system for your Kiln some of the fumes that come off a different glazes are very toxic.

Jessica, is it possible to marbleize with gold lusters? Can you put drops of gold in water?

Can you tell me how to apply mother of pearl? Does it need essence applied first? If so do I let it dry before applying the mother or pearl? And is one layer the best? I heard that it should not be over applied. The last two firings my mother of pearl was dull. I fired at 019 fast speed in my small skutt kiln. Thank you for your help.

Is there a way I can touch up the gold luster on some antique tea sets without having to use a kiln but still have the same finishing effect? I was hand washing some of my tea sets and I must have scrubbed too hard because I noticed some of the gold luster started fading in some areas. I've looked everywhere online and haven't found a solution T.T please help!

Can you help with a botched attempt? I added gold luster over a glaze called gold. Followed your instructions and the piece is not shiny, looks like dull bronze, except in a few stops. Looks like a bad glazing job but the piece is only 1" square. wish I could send photo. Your video gave me the courage to to do this for first time and I was so happy to find it. Thank you, I love all your videos!!

Hi Melissa, the key to achieving a glossy luster finish is to apply it over a glossy glaze. The luster will have the same finish as whatever it is applied to. I am not familiar with the Gold glaze you used but if you want to send me an image via Facebook(you may have to friend me first) I will be happy to look at it. I am so glad to hear that my video encouraged you to give luster a try. Keep at it and I know you will get the results you are after. Best, Jessica

Hi! I am getting back into ceramics and I would like to get really vibrant red, green, and blue colors and I also plan on adding duncan gold luster to my pieces. The kiln I have access to is a gas kiln, can i still achieve those results in a gas kiln ?

@JessicaPutnamPhillips

6 жыл бұрын

yes, you can achieve good colors in a gas kiln but you'll have to fire the luster to a lower temp. There is a whole other method of getting luster from glazes which are reduction fired to cone 9-10. Check out the work of Beatrice Wood, she was amazing and did gas fired lusters.

Where did you get you gold and eraser? Thanks

i have a question, i am doing writing on a plate. i was needing to know if i can use a fine tip marker or pen to write on the plate and put the gold over it. will the marker burn off or will the gold cover it or should i just free hand the gold on the plate? i am writing names on the plate and i just want to make sure i get the gold super correct on the plate.

@JessicaPutnamPhillips

Yes, you can use a pen to write on the plate an it should burn off. Check this website out www.thegoodstuff.com she sells everything for china painting and luster and may have a marker specifically for using with gold over it. jess

Is their a product that is a gold glaze but not as pricey?

Wait. Is the luster acceptable for food contact or not. There is not a 'ok for special ocations' safety rating. The manufacture must stat one way or the other not a 'sometimes'.

Hi Jessica,thanks for good lesson,but can you tell me please how you firing. How long need firing and how many degrees.
