"Chip" Glazing with Dry Chips of Glaze for Accents!

Chip Glazing is a fun technique that many of my students enjoy trying out. I believe this technique may work equally well with lowfire glazes too. Always test before doing on a big piece you love! I am using Coyote glazes- cone six on standard 225 stoneware. My base glaze is Coyote Light Shino.
To make glaze chips, I keep a plastic bag handy on a tray, and when a kid uses a whisk, I have them set the whisk on it for a few seconds to allow the final drips to go onto the bag.
After quite the accumulation of glaze drips, I just broke up the chips into small pieces by crushing them in the bag.
I applied the final coats of the base glaze, and then immediately sprinkled the chips on top
I tried not to pile them too deeply, as too much glaze could result in crawling.

I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 32 years, the past 22 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...
I started my RUclips channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently, especially with my semester ending “Pick A Passion” projects- see link here: • Pick A Passion Project
I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!

I love this technique. I find it looks funky with fine shards of glass melted amongst the chips, too.

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

It is very pretty! I actually don’t let my kids use the glass in theirs as sometimes will shiver off and I don’t want to take the risk! 😉

[@tammyandkiki]

Very cool idea! Thanks for sharing ❤
I’ll try it with my students!!!

[@zweigackroyd7301]

Do you extend the soak to avoid pinholing? Some of those chips were pretty thick, so I wondered if that was one technique to improve the odds of a good outcome.

[@KaransPotsAndGlass]

Yes!!!! I always do a bit of a soak at the end to help with pinholing. I am pretty confident in the stability of my light Shino base glaze too- I felt it was pretty dependable and wouldn’t crawl either!
