- In this video I go over how to mix the glaze Studio White, I break down the cost, the method for mixing, and finish up with some glaze inspiration.
Here's the recipe for the glaze being used in the video: glazy.org/recipes/7973
What a great share to help potters save on cost of glazing, thank you! I appreciate how detailed and accurate your information is, you are a natural teacher
Thank you!
I’m convinced this glaze is magic. I always have a great big bucket of it in my studio. It goes on nicely, never flakes off, doesn’t pinhole or crawl and plays well with others. It does a stellar job of highlighting texture, and I recently discovered it’s the perfect base to add mason stains, so one pail of this plus a handful of stains and I have a whole palate of colors to use!
YES!! I agree! So glad to hear someone else is having the same great results!
Thank you soo much for breaking down how to figure out cost on making your own glazes🇨🇦❤️
Oh good I am glad you found that helpful. I always get mad when people break down the cost as though you were a huge factory and getting a mega bulk discount on the ingredients.
Great information!! Sooo loving your channel!!
Thank you so much for watching! It really helps!
Thanks for the video! I think I am going to have to give this recipe a try. The white I use in my studio tends to crawl when I use commercial glazes over top, which is very annoying.
I hope it will work as great for you as it does for me!
I appreciate the information. You don’t need the music.
Thanks! I am leaving the music out of future videos!
Wonderful! You'r the best ! 😊 It's awesome that you can listen and adapt to us who follow you. Always accurate and very entertaining. Thank you!@@threelittlepotters
@@threelittlepottersI don't mind the music fwiw but I think I'd rather have you explain what you're doing verbally instead of using captions.
@@EricMayers Maybe voice over next time I do a mixing video? It's definitely limiting with the mask on.
TY for this- I really need to take this dive and this is the perfect one! So glade you shared! 💙
You are so welcome!
GREAT INFO THANKS
Thank you so much for watching. I hope it helps!
GREAT video! Thanks so much ❣️
Glad it was helpful!
I just got my studio white.
Exciting! Let me know how it goes.
Hi, Im just starting my glaze journey and really found this video helpful.. Just wondering if there is a commercial glaze that has the same effect as this studio glaze? I am not yet able to buy all these ingredients and mix it myself, but do see the benefit of a white glaze base! Thank you!
I am sure there is, I just haven't tested any. Maybe I can order one and test it out against mine. If I do, I'll make a video for you.
@@threelittlepotters Thank you! It’s unfortunate that not all commercial glazes have a specific ingredient list (which I do understand from a business perspective) so you can’t compare opacity or pigment. That means testing out different brands yourself and that’s kinda expensive 😅 haha..
But I might just buy a white glaze to see if it works, if not I’ll just use it on it’s own.. Thanks again! 😊
thank you so much for the inspo and information! I absolutely fell in love wih your kiln openings as you do have so many glazes combos... I got curious about 'dirty snow' since viewing them, are they both similar or do you use them for different effects?
Dirty Snow which can be found on glazy.org is currently my favorite flux glaze. I am planning to do a video on some of my favorite glazes to use on rims. Dirty Snow has a lot of titanium in it, so it's like the white version of a flux. You can use it in the same way you might use Mayco light flux. Lynette Opal which was my long time favorite before that one is more of a beige flux since it has a lot more rutile in it. So for many combos I will do a dipped base of studio white, a brush of another glaze and then Dirty Snow just on the rim, unless it's a bowl and I have a place for the glaze runs to pool.
What mesh silica do you use? Thx!
I use 325 mesh.
Did you wipe off the white from the bottom of your bowls?
Yes, definitely. I use Laguna wax, which I paint on the bottoms. After that, I still take a damp sponge and wipe off any excess glaze from the bottoms.
How many gallons of glaze did you make with 4000 grams of dry ingredients?
Hey, that's a bit of a tricky question. I mixed that in a 2 gallon bucket and had room left at the top. So 4000g of dry ingredients is around 1 gallon, then adding 3200ml of water to that... but it's not quite by volume, as the dry ingredients have space between them for the water... so something like 1.5 gallons.
@@threelittlepotters thanks so much!
Music is bad. Dont use it, please.
Don't worry, in future videos I have done away with the music.
