WOW! I am in the midst of my very first pottery class ( 8 weeks, 3 hours on Monday nights and open use to the studio thru out the week) I have been OVERWHELMED with the language and building a relationship with clay, but I AM enjoying the process! However when I stumbled upon this video yesterday- because I was searching for a clear(er?) understanding of the terms you describe, I was Thrilled!! I’ve now subscribed to your posts and look forward to further enlightenment ❤️

Lots of fun watching your explanations ..THere are so many families of clay and happy melting temperatures .It might be fun to tell your audience that you are firing at (I am guessing Orton cone 06 to 03 ) just under 2000F. Mid range cone 6 and high temperature rules are a little different but relatable ..It might be fun to do a clip on where your glazes sit in the big picture of Earthenware up to high fired stonewares ...All the best from New England , Yours Guy

Can I put a clear glaze over a colour glaze? Ot do I have to use colour underglaze only under a clear glaze?

Great videos! I’m assuming that the same care has to be taken regarding contact with the kiln shelf in bisque firing when applying under glazes to leather hard clay as with glazes due to the slight vitrification?

@JaneScottCeramics

2 жыл бұрын

Not really, the underglaze doesn’t really vitrify enough to stick to anything and it would depend on what temperature you fire it to anyway. I fire my stuff to around 1140ºC and never bother to wipe the bases or anything. 😁

I'm going to go back through and see if you covered this and I missed it. (Today I seem to have the attention span of a kid, with portion control issues, that found their mom's chocolate covered coffee beans stash.) Can you mix clay bodies/slips as long as they can be fired at the same temp? (Low, mid, high) can you use porcelain slip in low or mid fire clay bodies as long as you don't go over the highest recommended temp of the lowest fire clay used? Do different clays have different shrink rates or should I just dry them extra slow? Even if this wasn't answered in the video, I know I missed enough to watch it again. You shared a lot of good info. I'm about to get a dedicated pottery room (bounce, bounce) there are so many things I have planned! I'm even going to have a bathroom! (Bounce, bounce bounce) (this could be where the coffee bean effect is coming from?!)

Yes, give it a go - measure in parts so you can repeat your recipes 🌈

Can you use underglaze to decorate a bowl, then apply a clear glaze over top before firing? Or do you have to fire twice (after bisque)?

@JaneScottCeramics

3 жыл бұрын

Hi There, you can just glaze right over the top of underglaze without firing it on first. You could even use underglaze on leather hard clay and raw glaze straight on top of that too - once firing your work - I’m actually raw glazing a lot of my work these days - it saves so much energy!

Hi! Is it safe to ramp fire wet green ware that has been under glazed? I’m teaching a rattle making class and only have one day to give students on this project and want them to have the option to underglaze their pieces but I’m worried about them exploding! Of course we’ll be sure to add a vent hole but will that be enough to let the moisture burn off gradually in a slow ramp fire? Or should I encouraged them to add some Sgraffito details to provide more exposed greenware to allow the moisture to evaporate? I’ve got some basics under my belt but am still new to ceramics processes. This video was so helpful!

@JaneScottCeramics

Mmmm, when things get confusing i think you have to just experiment a bit and see what happens... green ware/ware that haven’t had a firing - well there are many ways to apply colour - depending on how dry the clay is - slip, underglaze and raw glazing are all possible and all at the same time too! 😁

Thanks you explain things so clear!Interested in pottery.Stay safe,you are a gem!Cheers!

Thanks for this upload❤❤ Million respects and likes🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 In history I read many terms that weren't clear to me. Today I learnt about slip so easily.👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏 I beg you to please make a video on the red- and black- painted ware.🙏🙏 And please explain the meaning of "painted" in this red and black painted ware.🙏🙏🙏 If I say "ochre coloured pottery", then can you please explain what is the meaning of this phrase ochre coloured pottery???? Can you please explain the difference between painted ware and polished ware as well??🙏🙏🙏🙏 Please please please do explain that as well🙏🙏🙏

@JaneScottCeramics

Жыл бұрын

Wow that a lot of explaining! Painted will always mean painted with a brush. Ochre coloured just means the colour ‘ochre’ to me…. Polished ware is ‘burnished’ ware - the surface is polished with a smooth object like a spoon or polished stone to press into the surface of the clay and create a shine. I hope this helps 👍🏼

Also, the first video I watched about underglazes, the potter was applying it to bone dry

Can one use oxides on texture underneath a celadon glaze?

@JaneScottCeramics

3 жыл бұрын

You can bung oxides on underneath glazes absolutely, the oxide will most probably have a reaction with the glaze that could be quite exciting, the only thing is if you are dipping the glaze you will probably contaminate your glaze...spraying would work well, if its a brush on glaze it might smear the oxide around a bit but hey, just try it and see what happens - there is no wrong or right thing to do here 😊

This was very helpful!. I will question I have, is what about stains ?

@JaneScottCeramics

Stains, well they are just basically the pigments you combine with your slips, glazes and clays and what i use when i manufacture underglazes - you can mix them with water and a bit of glaze and paint with them but its not a technique i really use... experiment with them and see what happens. Have fun!👍🏼
