I am currently at NKO in Gouda, The Netherlands. We use a shiny white tin glaze and simple majolica underglaze on Stoneware all the time. It’s actually one of my favourite glazes. It’s important that the tin glaze isn’t too thick, so it doesn’t sag during firing. A tip for applying the underglaze smoothly: add some honey or dissolved sugar to the underglaze. It makes application much easier! Love your videos!
So. nice to meet you Lola! Hello from Florida. It still amazes me that I can reach around the world. Wow. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! that is awesome to know. there is not much information over here about using majolica at cone 5-6. I did have a bit of trouble with the sagging, so perhaps a thinner white glaze coating will help...although my glaze doesnt like to be too thin of it is patchy, but I will experiment. Again thanks so much!!..If you are on facebook, I help administrate the Pottery Studio group. I would love to see samples of your work!! Again, thanks. Ann
Hi, what white Tin glaze do you use in NL? I am trying to find a white glaze that becomes opaque on a very dark terra cotta clay body. The clay fires up to 1050 C and becomes chocolate brown. So far, I have not found a white glaze to cover….
@@barbaraschiphorst1875 Hi Barbara. I bet if you looked up Linda Arbuckle, she probably has the perfect glaze for you to make yourself. She also works on a dark terra cotta clay. She has made all of her recipes public.
@@Moharani21 Hi Moharani. I make my own white glaze. My glaze works best on mid range fired clay. If you want a glaze you can make yourself, I would look up Linda Arbuckle's white glaze recipe. It looks great on her work.
Go for. it Ginny. Just use a cardinal template instead of the fruit. Use the Cant-Elope and Candy Apple Red Stroke and coats on that. I waxed the lines for the trees to preserved the white glaze color and wax on the cardinals. Then brush on the Wisteria over top. Sponge off the glaze beads. Thanks so much for watching!
Your red cardinals are beautiful, you must use magic, as I don't understand how you have so much knowledge and skill oozing from every pore and constantly putting in new skills for us to watch in awe, it has to be magic to enable you to do so much in 24 hours, either that or your 24 hours is longer in the US 😊
Hey Denise. Haha.I think the secret is that I am old enough that I dont have any kids around the house any longer to distract me and I have made this into my full time job. I like to work so ia am constantly researching, problem solving and working in the studio to come up with new pottery content for you guys, 🙂.... What country are you in? Cheers to you from Florida!! Ann
I became very interested in majolica tiles when I visited Portugal last year. The national tile Museum in Lisbon is more amazing than I can convey; “The Museu Nacional do Azulejo”. I purchased Amaco majolica glazes and began experimenting. I tried to put some photos to share, but I can’t figure out how to do it! This was a great video thank you so much.
Hey Kim. Wow. I have never been out of the country but would love to go anywhere in Europe really. I would so enjoy that museum, I am sure. Lucky you. I would love to see your pictures. I wish this site was more interactive too. that would be great!!!
Thanks so much Michele. Im glad you enjoyed that and maybe you can give it a try. I have tried it before, but I like to do more detailed work and this process with the hotter temperature seems to work more on more simple blocky illustrations. Linda Arbuckle has the right idea. She is a genius.
Thanks Barbara, As far as the white liner glaze I am using....it is one that I make myself. Jim put the recipe in the description under the video if you want to make it. thanks for watching and happy potting to you. Ann
Hey Judy. Im so glad you like this. The white glaze that I used is a glaze that Ron Roy helped me to formulate and so it is not a commercial glaze that you can buy off the shelf. If you want the recipe, it is in the description section under the video. It is my favorite glaze. Go for it.
I’ve meant to research majolica and found your take with underglazes to be quite doable. Thanks for being a continuous art explorer. What does one have to do to find your inspiration for trying the untried :-)
So why don’t potters paint white slip as the base and paint images with colored slip over that? Then put clear over everything - does the clear always ruin the images and dull the colors, even at lower temps?
Hi Lynette. Very good question. I think you even answered it yourself. The clear glaze does change whatever it is applied over. You need to always test ....like I did for this video...and see how it affects the final look. I have had clear glaze make underglaze colors fade out. Other ones it can make streaky. Some colors the clear can make garrish. I dont have much experience working at the lower temperatures, so Im sure it is different but still testing is the best way to go 🙂. Good luck!
Hi Hester. I hear you for sure. I found information from Linda Arbuckle on doing it on earthenware at the lower temperatures, but not a lot about doing it at cone 5-6. do a little experimenting and see if your supplies will work :-). Ann

Great info

All pieces are beautiful but the cardinal with the trees in the background is wonderful!! I want to do a piece with trees like that! ❤

@@annruel1982 As I’ve said before I’m not able to draw very well at all so using the paper to outline things is about as good as I’m going to get. Lol
I just took a trip to Italy in the Spring, so Majolica has been on my mind. Thank you for doing this!!!❤❤❤
New inspiration for me.
Oh good, Sara. Thanks so much for watching. Go for it! Ann
Very beautiful.
Hi Cristina! Thank you so much. ....and thanks for watching! Ann
Great video. I have quite a few of the underglazes and glazes. Now I know how to use them in a new way. Thank you.
Hey Spin. Always great to hear from you. thanks so much for watching!
Excellent demonstration. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Villia. It is my pleasure. Thank you so much for watching! Jim and I really appreciate it.
Brilliant ❤🎉
Hey Emily! Im glad you liked it. It is always great to hear from you! Ann
Thank you for encouraging us to experiment and get creative :o)
Hi Wendy! Aww...thank you so much for watching. Give this a go. I think this really could be a "paint along with me video." Go for it! Ann
Another outstanding video. Thanks!
Hey Lin! You are so sweet. Thanks so much for all your support. 🙂
great work as usually. this experiments looks really beautiful.
Hi Divina! You are so kind. Thank you so much for watching. Jim and I really appreciate you.
I enjoy the semi matte finish you achieve. What white liner glaze are you using?
Thanks Barbara, As far as the white liner glaze I am using....it is one that I make myself. Jim put the recipe in the description under the video if you want to make it. thanks for watching and happy potting to you. Ann
Once again...FABULOUS!!! But Ann, how do I find your white liner glaze? Is it labeled as such in order to purchase it? Or, is it any white glaze? 🤔

Hi
Can I use oil color for decoration,or water color?
Thanks to answer to me.
