Glazing

The salt and pepper shakers are now glazed with high fire glaze. The two colors in the background are combination glazes, with the deep firebrick underneath with 2 coats and another 2 coats of blue rutile on top.


I fired this piece this week but it needs another coat of glaze in some areas as some were still bare. I also gave the back another coat as to make the dark blue more vibrant. It is reglazed in this pictue and will be refired soon.

These cups were glazed by applying two good coats of PC-59 Deep Firebrick in a horizontal direction. Let each coat dry before applying the next. Then two good coats of the “layered” glaze were applied over the Deep Firebrick in a vertical direction. Again, let each coat dry before applying the next. These cups were fired to Cone 6 at medium speed with a 10 minute hold.

Josh Heim created these Potter’s Choice Combination Cups using one thick coat of PC-12 Blue Midnight as a base. Then three coats of the top coat were applied. Let dry between coats. Josh uses a fan brush to apply the glazes. He says this allows for a more even coverage. AMACO® 46-M, a Cone 5/6 stoneware clay was used to create the cups.

Best results are achieved when the first coat is allowed to dry before adding the second. He used a fan brush for more even coverage.
