I followed the same trajectory and came up with a similar base after two years of floundering around with random recipes. You are very kind to impart your knowledge. I appreciate it!!!
This is terrific! I was asking around this week trying to figure out a starter pack that my group of novice potters can start mixing our own glazes from, but nobody was really forthcoming. I truly appreciate your generosity with sharing your knowledge with us budding amateurs. A couple of weeks ago, I made my first drippy slippy tiny vase to rave reviews from my class. While we may remember where we get our ideas from, we never know where they will take us, nor where we will take them!!
thank you for this. I'm an art teacher with a growing ceramics program but money is tight. I've been pouring over john britts glaze book trying to figure out how I can do the most with less. this is a great start and I love your recipies. THANKS AGAIN
Thank you, that's wonderful to hear! A conversation with someone else in pretty much exactly that situation was what sparked the project, and I'm so glad it's actually being used that way!
I love this... i am running an empty kiln with 27 different recipes on 2 tiles each, right now. I have resorted to finally getting around to this after STARTING WITH A 5 X 20 recipe. it was a great base and i have used it alone for years. this past run in the kiln they all were off and i know its from something i did (pour off water vs let it evaporate). it pushed this sweet experiment. your list of 5 is right on and i love that this is being more and more introduced as a way to enter mixing of your own glaze. I believe you have answered a question that i had in the past so THANK YOU for all of your conversation style videos and for your time.
Just what I've been looking for! I've been trying to teach myself the science behind glazing ingredients, and it can be quite daunting. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! I will be printing out the blog post and putting it in my glaze binder so I can refer back to it as needed. I'm very excited to start my journey with my very own glazes!!! 😃
I am enjoying the video, but am also blown away by your use of that laser to size your pots. What a great idea! I even have one, but never thought to use it for this. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much, it's so generous of you to share this knowledge with others. I'm not quite ready to take this step of making my own glazes but this is where I'll come when I do feel ready.
Thank you for all the work you have done - I felt quite overwhelmed with the thought of making a palette of glazes for myself and this seems very manageable. 👍🏼
Thank you for the information. I am in Nigeria but almost all the ingredients are not accessible. I wish to improve my craft from just terracotta and oxide to glazes some day. Or if there another name or substitute for the recipes
They should be pretty much identical, there isn't much that will be affected by reduction, but I think you'd be able to do reduction reds with copper and tin in some of the bases. I've never fired in reduction though, so that's just an educated guess.
@@OldForgeCreations Just an FYI, very often in the U.S. a major source of silica is flint which like quarts is basically straight silica. So far as I know they are interchangeable.
Thanks fo much for this great information. However not sure where to go ftom here. Quantity of materials would be most helpful. At least for the base. Do i need 5lbs ir 50 lbs. ? Colorants 1lb or 5 grams? I'm ready to go. Please help. 🪶
It depends how much glaze you intend to make, and what quantities your supplier will sell each ingredient in. 1-5kg for the base and 50-250g of the colourants would be a sensible starting point for most people though.

Perfect, that's exactly what I had in mind when I started the project!

I was looking into glazes and getting very confused on what to buy. This is very helpful.
Timing of this is perfect as I now want to make my own glazes

Your videos are so mesmerizing! I love watching you craft your pieces!

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that! It's meant to make that first step as easy as possible, because it's so much easier once you start
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this information. Am very grateful for this
Thank you! I can’t wait to try! Very generous of you!!!

So helpful and insightful! Thank you!
My pots have micro fractures. People are saying to adjust the recipes a little bit. Which ingredients should I mess with? Raise the silica?
Could you show how the laser is setup please
Thank you!!! ❤
Thank you.
Thank you
Hi I want to learn can u tell investigators plz
Sweet. Any idea how they work in reduction? I built a gas kiln....
They should be pretty much identical, there isn't much that will be affected by reduction, but I think you'd be able to do reduction reds with copper and tin in some of the bases. I've never fired in reduction though, so that's just an educated guess.
@@OldForgeCreations Thank you, I might just have to give it a try.

What’s the laser level for?
It's so he can make pots the same height and diameter. I thought it was a great idea, and have never seen anyone do that before.
Also, if anyone is interested, here's a very good video on a straight forward technique to test glazes: ruclips.net/video/UfZG-0Bm-XI/видео.html
That's a big help - thanks mate!
