It's really easy once you follow the tips and tricks I've included in this video. Be safe and have lots of airflow and wear a respirator.

Thank you for sharing/making this video! The alcohol cleaning on the piece and all the other tips have given me the confidence to do it on my leaf dishes. Thank you!

[@TinyChickPottery]

Great! I’m so glad to hear it.

[@micheledickey4066]

OMG I have spilled my gold too!!!! It was painful!! Lol. You may have found this out by now but you can make a little “thing” to put your tiny bottle in so you don’t spill it and it makes it much easier to use! Just make a lump of clay and push the bottle into it and move it around a bit so that when it’s fired it will still fit!!

[@TinyChickPottery]

That’s a really great idea! Thank you!

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

Very cool. I always wondered how gold was applied to the rims of stoneware. Another mystery solved. :)

[@TinyChickPottery]

I’m glad to be here for you! Solving one mystery at a time!

[@sophiawhite621]

Great information! You covered all aspects I had questions about. Thank you

[@TinyChickPottery]

You’re so welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@MrBuba666]

Your mug looks wonderful and thank you for sharing your knowledge, it was very comprehensive and I’m ready now to do my first gold lustre! ❤

[@TinyChickPottery]

I needed to hear that today! ((Hugs))

[@ginafeddersen8200]

They look fantastic! I just purchased a little bottle myself and looking forward to trying it out 😊Thanks for sharing your video, 🥰 makes it easier now for me to go ahead, and yes I will be careful not to spill the precious Liquid😊

[@TinyChickPottery]

Omg… it was awful. I should be making a little clay stand for the bottle!! I have a bunch of tiny bears with gold crowns ready to fire.

[@clarissalannutti2718]

The gold looks great ... beautiful watermelon bowl :)

[@TinyChickPottery]

Thank you, Clarissa! I love this stuff.

[@lynneyoung800]

When I’m using ink in calligraphy I cut a round hole in one of the little circular sponges to fit the bottle of ink and that ensures I can’t knock it over, worth a try 😃

[@TinyChickPottery]

Thank you that sounds like a perfect idea!

[@Dodo_hanna]

Wow amazing 😍😍😍 I love it

[@TinyChickPottery]

Glad you liked my video!

[@crownedomniarch]

[@TinyChickPottery]

Thank you!!

I’m just starting my second pottery class. I was so interested in this. I wonder do they make copper luster ?

[@TinyChickPottery]

I’ve used ancient copper glaze by amaco & had good luck with it. Have not yet seen copper Lustre but Google, maybe?

[@katebranca2027]

Perfect!

[@TinyChickPottery]

I love gold too much!!!

[@TressaZimmerman]

Wow!

[@TinyChickPottery]

You’ve got to get this stuff! Got to get Alice out of the kiln!

[@ChanningLee]

ever tried fast speed? can it be applied to unglazed areas？ thx

[@TinyChickPottery]

I have not. Never heard of it! : )

[@remobandini6144]

Hi. Just watched this video. I produce percelain/ceramic pics for tomstones. I want to offer a gold rim around the pic. My supplier of the lustre said i must fire to 800 celsius. I don't know however how many hours must bake it for until it reaches the 800 mark. In know absolutely nothing about cones as I use a controller since i first started.
Please can you advise me

[@TinyChickPottery]

Yes! Call your kiln manufacturer and they will give you the best advice!!

[@sanikadivekar8413]

You applied the gold on the rims of cups too but is this really food and microwave safe?

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

Gold is good safe but not microwave safe.

[@TinyChickPottery]

Food safe, yes.

[@micheledickey4066]

Use the paper towel with the glaze on it to rub over the edge of the mug!!

[@TinyChickPottery]

If the gold luster is thin it will leave purple marks instead of gold. : )

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

Please wear gloves to applying luster It is poising 🤗

[@TinyChickPottery]

Thank you! Good information.
