i would love to see a file with all the pictures of the glaze combos. its so hard to find the mayco glaze combos all in one file. prepared to pay for it :)

Just wanna throw this out there. The ones that are flawed and quote “unsellable” I would totally buy those. I can’t afford your regular mugs, so knock off a bit of the price and sell them as flawed I would 100% buy it!

the thing is that for some artists, they don’t want their name associated with the pieces that weren’t up to their standards.

I really liked that mug with the pink outside, blue inside. Anything with blues and pinks are my favorite.

You still need to have the tiles numbered because when you have a ton of people, the tiles are going to get moved around. It will make it easier for one of your workers to put the tiles back for the next slew of people who come in.

So true! It could turn into a major headache. I bet he’s got them marked.

Jon, you're going to need a MEGA-WALL, to do test combos with three glazes, as you like doing!!

Omg the blue and whtie mug at 11:17 is my favorite!!

In college when I was doing pottery I came up with a way of doing a very intense testile board but it was not a board. It was a round vertical Tower on which I did spirals one for each primary glaze color in a counterclockwise direction. Then a second color the same color in a clockwise direction this would give you an over and under of every glaze you used. If you did a 2 ft diameter Tower that gave you 6 ft of circumference with 2 in for each glaze and an inch space to keep the glazes from running into each other you had a lot of glazes you could fit on there. Adding a third vertical stripe would give you over and under Three glaze combination. Adding a horizontal stripe gave you a four glaze combination. Doing three towers going from a two-way combination of three glaze combination and a four-ways combination would give you a lot of glazed examples in a very small space. I've done them as small as one foot and diameter and even six inches in diameter with half a dozen to a dozen glazes. The tower or cylinder didn't have to be perfectly vertical and could have texture on it which would allow you to demonstrate and visualize breaking glazes.

Thank you for sharing how you did this, it's valuable info for any potter.

Just loved That wall. Iwish We had something like That in our studio

OMG please add this spreadsheet to your Etsy shop. I would totally buy the file to have dip combos with pictures!!!

Super exciting video. I have been following your channel for 2 years now and find your work inspiring. Looking back I am amazed at all the progress you have made.

Love the test tile wall! Looks super classy. What a huge project that must have been!

What a fab idea!!! Have to change to Mayco glazes now as they bought out Duncan. This is a very helpful video. Now I have an idea how to proceed as Mayco does not have as many colors as Duncan did. Now I am more motivated to do my tests.

You are so motivating John, I love your combinations

Love your enthusiasm Jon! so inspiring for us potters!

Pretty awesome colors

I love the pop of red inside the mugs! Thank you for the inspiration!

the red comes from cadmium which is a known carcinogenic. even if the supplier Mayco says it's food safe i wouldn't trust it

I would love a glaze wall tour or the idea of the PDF works!! This wall looks amazing!

Thank you for putting your time and product out there for us. you hit some real winners. How about the white crackle with black liner? Hoping y ou August is dynamic.

This is cool. Probably the first time I read a book and then found the author's KZread channel.

Love your work thanks for sharing with us

The black and red worked really well in my opinion. I absolutely love your work🔥. I'd buy all of them😂

OMG! Move those vases. Scaring me. Excellent !

Wish I would’ve stumbled across this video in time to go to your opening event. I especially would’ve loved to see the demos on wheel throwing & raku. Plus pick up some of your beautiful pieces. Since I’m local I’ll keep an eye out to see if you’ll have other similar events in the future. If you ever teach classes I’ll definitely sign up.

Would luv to see some of these with the flux on them too

Hey Jon, Ive found red gloss with galaxy on top is stunning and the same on purple gloss, pretty popular. I fire to cone 6 with a 15 minute hold.

Wow! You are so totally organized! I know, its a necessity for a professional potter to be well organized in order to economize on time spent…

Lava Rock over Bright Blue Gloss (10:48) looks great! Unfortunately Wisconsin is at least 1000 miles too far for me. But if the mug survives the open house, I'll certainly be looking for it on the 18th.

6:29 I love those!!!

just started a 30x30 test tile wall last week. Kind of wish I saw this vid first :p

Will you post pics of all your glaze tile combos for people to pick from? I would love to see all your pink combos, as well as any beach combos.

Well my favourite was lava rock over bright blue gloss lol.

Wow!! The red is spectacular!! I looked at the gloss glazes the same way but now... I see some testing coming my way soon. Same with the lava rock! I stayed away from the lava rock because it isn’t food safe but on the outside is ok and I absolutely love all of yours!! Thank you so much for doing all this testing!! I made around 100 test tiles but they were made from slabs, I don’t throw yet. I put holes in the top so they could be hung on a very thick bead wire tree during th firing. The problem is, I don’t feel like they are tall enough to really get the look of the drip very well. Can you please show us how you would glaze the tiles if you didn’t have the base fir them to stand on? I do plan to put a big kiln cookie under the tiles when I fire them but it’s going to take many firings to get them all done since I don’t have much space to fire them while they are on the tree. I was going to try and lean them up against kiln posts but then any drips would end up on the kiln post. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!!

Thank you for the great ideas and glaze inspiration! What are the two glazes you layered for the white mugs towards the end of the video?

Oh my gosh. What a lot of work in that glaze board! I would be willing to buy a brochure of all of those combos. Are you thinking of producing one????

I really loved the white over black, speckled mugs you also really liked. Which white over which black? Do you use exclusively Marco glazes?

Kewl beanz, dude!

love the glaze results and matrix idea. Please though, in the future use a tripod or stitch stills together and scroll them slowly, the handheld herky jerky camera was very hard on the eyes.

Did you ever make a file of the glaze combinations? I would love to see that!

I am sad I missed the event. But I want one of those vases.

By the way, do you have a video explaning your back ground, story and mocha monkey story and how it came to be? I would love that!!

Was that white over lava rock? So freakin' cool.

Any peacock feather combination please and deep blue indigo copper glaze

Can I be ask how many layers you do of each colour when you are layering different glazes, for example the gloss colours over the lava rock, how many coats of each colour? Wonderful results btw!

Hi Jon! You area great! Pure energy! On test tile wall with glaze combinations you used just one coat of each?

Some gorgeous mugs. What was the combination of white with black, was that white over lava rock?

I really wish you would say what combo each of your mugs are when you are unloading!!

Wow!

Hi! I just watched one of your myths and I have one. What happens if you accidentally have bits of hardened plaster in clay? Had to throw a bunch of reclaim due to plaster issues. Thanks much!

Jon. I am usually not a safety police kind of guy. But would caution you to look into what constitutes food safe in regards to cadmium and other heavy metals they are encapsulating for the reds. I don't know if I would use them on functional work at all as you should label them with the restricted metals present under most safety protocols. Even in the claim is nonleaching. At the least use it on the outside and line with a stable glaze. My opinion others may have a different view. Best wishes.

What was the combo with the mug that was white with black spotting? Lava rock over white gloss?

Did you try orbeez on clay in a kiln?

Interesting.

woah! what was the black and white combo you used at the end?

Can you reglaze other colours over those you do not like?

What was the glaze combinations that was mostly white with black marble in the background almost looked like it might have been a crackle

What was the mystery glaze from another segment?

beautiful!!!!! owowowowoowowowow

Hi Jon. Do you dip them all?

I have a question about when you do 2 or more glosses on 1 piece. For ex the Red gloss over the lava rock. 1) Do you cover the whole thing in the gloss and then put the other gloss completely over the first gloss? 2) do you fire the glosses individually Ex: put the lava rock gloss on - fire it, then put the red gloss on - then fire it again? Or both at once?

Do you sell mugs and stuff at your coffee shops?

What do you do when the glaze sticks to your shelf 🤔

How do you glaze fire upside down?

hey jon, which is the combo name for the black and wht

Hey Jon… I would really really love to pick your brain. I processed my own clay from from a local dirt track. (it’s kinda nationally known lol). My husband & I are push truck drivers for auto races and the dirt I processed fell off our truck so I didn’t steal it lol. I’m the 1st person in the track’s history to do what I did with the dirt, throw the clay, & fire it to a cone 5. It warped a bit and I know I should probably low fire it but I wanted to see if it would vitrify without cracking or melting. Which it did. I’m wondering if adding grog back into the clay would be help and how I might go about that to keep it 100% sourced. I don’t want to order grog from somewhere else and have my cup 98.9% Belleville High Banks clay lol.

@benpatterson4452

Grog doesn't increase the firing temp, but is used to help resist cracking from drying and/ or thermal shock. You'll either need to fire lower, or add another clay body that has a higher firing temp.

Are you using Marco or Amaco glaze?

So how do you fix a glaze that pooled like that then? Do you grind it off or refire it upside down or something? I'm curious

Those are advancer shelves, he just takes the buffing block sander thing that you can get for them and it chips right off. If on a reg shelf, yes you’d be grinding it off.

Ben quelle chance vous avez d’avoir toutes ces possibilités, mais tout le monde n’a pas l’argent pour acheter tout cela!😉

what glazes were use with the white and black ones? was it just white with black or was it lava rock and white?

my *assumption* is that its white gloss over lava rock, i wish he'd say what glazes are on the mugs as he pulls them out but i imagine he's trying to keep it secret.

Unsellable!!?? No way!! I bet you can get a smaller buck for them, but their not unsellable. Just open a small section that says " mugs with defects, less expensive" and i garantee pepole would buy them. .... i think. Lol

Good I suggest you you accept Islam you will succed
