You apply gold luster on old porcelain, in a microwave please?
Love it! Thanks for sharing! Are you in London??
thank you! I'm in New York :)
Please show us more about working with porcelain with no wheel. There are no videos about how to work with porcelain on RUclips
Will do. Many thanks for your feedback!
This absolutely gorgeous! May I aks what exact clay you use? the stuff is sooo thin..
a video about how you make these little platea would be cool!
It's porcelain. I use a slab roller to make the plates. I hope I can upload a video soon. I think I have one on my Instagram > Making-of
@@from_fran A video would be so helpul.. I think I scrolled through your entire instagram and could not find the video unfortunately
Thank you for this well done video! I have one question about your removing mistakes with q-tip and alcohol: would this also work with lustre applied 24hrs ago? So my lustre mistake is bit even more dry than in your example the moment just of mistake seconds ago.
Thank you Lonni! It becomes more difficult once it dries, however some providers sell a "luster eraser". www.theceramicshop.com/product/24970/gold-luster-eraser/
This effect is awesome! Could you please help me what is a difference between the luster and real gold or is it the same medium? Greetings!
Hi! the luster is made of particles of gold that are suspended in a liquid medium, usually a pine oil resin.
Beautiful! For the firing I see that you use all kiln plugs and no lid venting up to a certain temperature?
The lid was closed for this fire but sometimes I fire with the lid a bit open. When I do this, the gold turns out extremely bright.
a new subscriber! I have a question, can you please guide me for an over glaze that instructions of baking time should be 800° C for 30 minutes? how it goes if I was using like ur kiln? and should it be like your one day in the kiln? thanks!
Hi! I'm only familiar with electric kilns. Using an electric kiln you can manually set up the temperature and time. How long does it take to reach the temperature and then cool down? It's going to depend on the size of the kiln and the number of pieces inside of it.
Hi!
I really liked the video.
I'm from Portugal and I'm starting to do this technique. But I don't have a specific oven. My goal was to make small details on ceramic mugs! Would it be possible to cook liquid gold in a conventional oven?
Hi! Thanks for your comment. No, it's not possible. For this type of finish, you need to get to about 732°C. There are some alternatives that don't need to be fired, but they usually aren't long-lasting or safe for food. > www.maycocolors.com/color/fired/best-of-duncan-non-fired/
Nice video very well explained. Where can I buy the premium gold luster plz?
Thank you. duncanpaintstore.com/lusters-overglazes
The videos were very helpful. Thank you. I'm currently trying porcelain art on my own, and I was wondering, when using pigments and gold for painting, should I bake it at 800 degrees Celsius? I plan to outline with pigments, apply gold to certain areas, and paint the handle just like in the videos. Are there any specific precautions to take, such as applying gold at the end or differences in baking temperature compared to regular pigments?
What do you mean by pigments? Are you referring to glazes (overglaze) or underglazes?
Hi your video is really useful. Could you please share the temperature for firing the gold luster?
Hi Laura, I fire at cone 018. This is 696°C. Some people also fire at cone 017 (727 C), or cone 019 (668 C). I encourage you to do a test before firing your final work.
Could you indicate where I can buy chandeliers? site.
Hi there thanks for the video, can you bisque fire earthen ware pieces next to the pieces you are firing for a lister firing?
hi Gabi, I would advise against doing that, and it would be pointless due to the fact that your bisque requires a higher temperature. Typically, bisque is fired to cone 06.
@@from_fran oh sorry. The earthenware will bisque at the same temp. 750 degrees Celsius
@@gabialberts3380 I would advise against trying it because firing bisque can release gas and fumes that may potentially affect the luster. But you can always do a test firing in a small kiln to see what happens. If you do it, please let me know if it works :)

Merhaba ben gold silindir malzemesini nasıl uyguna getirebilirim?
Hi dear..... tell me a Full detail luster bottle i can purchase it...plz plz plzzzzzz
Thank you for the tutorial❤ beautiful pieces! I was wondering how many karat gold lustre are you using and what do you think about 10k lustre? Thank you😊
hi! the gold i use has the appearance of 18 karat gold jewelry and has 11% pure gold
Thank you!
hi, could you help me know how much total amount of gold luster would i require to do the edges of 8inch diameter plate, 110 plates in total?
Probably 3-4 bottles
Hi, did you do previously kiln firing of this plates, before applying gold luster? And what degree?
The plates from the video were glazed and fired at cone 6 before applying gold luster.
I read you fire gold luster at cone 018-019, so I’m guessing it is ok to fire midrange porcelain at this cone range with gold luster?
after glazing and/or vitrifying your porcelain, yes, you can fire luster at cone 018-019.
I also use porcelain (fired to cone 6)
Hi! How many degrees and time do you set the Kiln on?
Hey! I fire at cone 018 with a fast schedule. It usually takes 3-4 hours to reach the cone and then 3-4 hours to cool down.
Question regarding loading the glaze kiln - How are you able to stack your glazed pieces and they not stick to each other? Thanks in advance
The temperature for gold luster firing is below the maturing point (melting) of the glaze.
@@from_fran never thought of it that way. Thanks so much for that tip!
What temperature should the gold be fired at? Thank you for the video.
Hi Alexis, cone 018 - 019
@@from_fran thank you!
Hi I have a question I wasn’t sure if I saw correctly and I’m still new to this. But is the gold been apply after the cup has been glaze and fired?
Hi Joselyne, yes, the gold is applied over a glazed and fired surface. It's considered a third-firing.
First: bisque
Second: glaze
Third: luster
Can the piece be reglazed to protect the luster?
Do you need to use the essence before dipping into the gold ?
If your gold seems too thick, you can add a small amount of essence to it to thin it out. Some people use essence to make their gold last longer, although I personally do not use it.
Does the gold smell straight from the bottle? Does, the kiln smell when you open it? Thank you!
Yes. The smell is very strong once you open the bottle. There is no smell after the firing, but a dense, strong odor emerges during the firing.
How many hours should I fire it after applying the gold rust? Please help me~
It depends. Which kiln are you using? How many pieces are you loading to the kiln? I fire to cone 018 or 019.
If I need to stencil a design on the glazed piece, what would I be able to use? So that the luster will cover it. Or should I just glaze the design and cover it with the luster after?
Hi Anna, do you have a URL to an image where I can see what you're trying to accomplish specifically? Since the luster is an overglaze, it will hide any stenciled designs that were applied previously.
I would advise using decals if you're going for a stenciled look. www.milestonedecalart.com/custom-decal-shop/custom-22k-gold-decals-for-ceramic-glass-and-enamel
@@from_fran oh I see, that's cool. So I have an older woman at my studio that wants a scroll design in luster on a rimmed platter. And I've never worked with it. She glazed it in white and I was going to fire it, but forgot she needs to draw a design. And I don't want to have her comeback to draw the design if I can avoid that. Since she'll have to come back after it's fired for the luster. So I was wondering if she can maybe use a marker on the glazed piece to draw it and go over it with the luster. I've just never used marker on a glazed piece and fired it afterwards, and I don't know how the luster reacts. If that makes sense haha sorry it's a lot and I'm lost.
Although I haven't tried it, the marker should burn out. Can you test it first on a different piece? In any case, if the luster isn't looking well, you may simply fire it again at a higher temperature than cone 018 and it will fade out.
Hi! Could u suggest me some place where to buy gold? Thanks!
Hi! I usually buy from this seller (amzn.to/3HDPAkZ) on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
hello, can it be applied to slip or unglazed area？ thanks
When the luster is put on a fired but unglazed area, it makes the area look matte. Mixing it with slip won't work because slip matures at a much higher temperature than the one you need for the luster. When fired over cone 018, the luster burns out.
How long does the lustre take to dry before firing?
A few minutes. Some people let it dry for a day before loading the pieces into the kiln.
I’m confused as to what you mean by cone 19? I use cone 6 stoneware and would like to use the gold on my pots can you help me understand what I’m missing here?
Hi! cone 019 is a third firing. So the first firing is for the bisque, the second firing is for glaze, and the third firing is for lusters or decals. I usually apply lusters and decals over a glazed surface and the result looks glossy. For a matte finish you can apply over an unglazed, but vitrified, surface.
Cone range is like a number line cone 1 being in the middle. For example: 019....06, 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and so on. Cone 019 is much much lower temp than cone 6.
Cone 019 is below 700 C. My gold luster for 850C.
Is the cup painted with underglaze?
Hi! I use stained clay for the colors and then clear glaze.
Could you let me know When you use essence?
I use essence when I need to dilute the gold luster.
I want to buy your product
Currently out of stock :(
@@from_fran wen can I get this material
Is Gold Rust Food Safe?
You need to check with the company that makes your gold luster. I used Duncan Premium Gold Luster, which can be used with food after it has been fired.
So you have to bake the gold ? It can’t just be applied ? :(
Yes, this type of gold luster for ceramics needs to be fired in a ceramic kiln
Where can i buy the premium gold lustre ?
Hi, where are you based?
Based in Morocco
@@perfection8282 You can find the luster on Amazon or at Mayco Paint Store. I would recommend that you Google "Duncan gold luster" to see what is available in your location.
Thank u so much 🙏😊
could you put this cup into a microwave oven ?
it would blow up. It can't go in the microwave, but it can go in the dishwasher.
Is it foodsafe?
Yes. Duncan gold is food safe after firing
Please, is it real gold?
I 'm French and i do not understand everything !
Hello! Gold luster is made of particles of actual gold suspended in a liquid medium. I use a premium version which has a higher % of gold in it.
What if you don’t have a Kiln?
Oh, then you can't fire the luster or make ceramic pieces. You need a pottery kiln if you want to work with pottery.
Maybe you can find someone in your city/town/neighborhood that offers firing services
Hello, is luster food safe ?
Duncan gold luster is food-safe after it has been fired.
