I wasn't going to watch this as so many youtube videos are a waste of time, but this one was superb. You are an excellent teacher, Christa, and I would love to learn more from you. I love the added tips you mention. If you haven't done so already, I hope you produce a series on ceramics. Thank you!
"Liked" as soon as you demonstrated the tapping technique to determine if the piece has been fired. I always used the color to determine, but this is nice to know! Thanks!
thank you for making such a clear, concise and easy to understand video about pottery. Extremely informative and I'm only partially through the video lol
Great video, thanks so much. So often you search something to try and learn and it's just a creepy silent film and you don't really know what and why things are done :)
thanks for sharing you reminded me of the steps I learned in my ceramic class. I have a bowl and cup I fired but didn't glaze is there a way I can paint at home . I'm hoping theirs a place I can go .
Loved this video, and was looking forward to finding more with Christa, but can't find! Can you Please direct me to where I can find Christa? I'm a Real novice and her explanations are so crystal clear and interesting. Thanks.
+Hilda Rios Hi there, Christa here. I had no idea people were actually watching my video till my friend and filming buddy cphamquist told me recently. He is going to make me do more even though I feel super silly watching me talk. I know it has been 5 months so you're probably a ceramic pro now but what other videos would you be interested in seeing? :) Thanks for the kind words.
i love your clip.i love pottery but i now nothing about its coloring oxides.it will be so thankful if u upload more about the basics of ceramic oxides.
Great video! Thanks! Is there a reason you don't use cookies to prevent glaze dripping on shelves? I am currently taking a class and if you used glaze but don't have a cookie, your item will not get loaded.
I too would have liked to have seen the finished product as well as a quick mention about the finished product that was shown (too heavily glazed) to know how and when you add what seems to be a second glaze color. Otherwise, this was a very useful video!!
Thank you for posting the helpful tutorial. I have a question : I bought a beautiful ceramic container/pot set of 4. One of the set is to contain soy sauce. I noticed that the interior glaze of this pot was leaching out from inside to the outside ceramic. How do I fix this? Do I reglaze or refire the pot/container? I hate to throw out the set. Thanks for your suggestion and time.
When I glaze I use to paint it on and had good results. For some reason my pots were coming back with bubbles in the glaze even though I gave it the same two to three coats. After that I just paid extra to have the glaze done at the shop. I took my pottery to different shops so I figure that some firing settings were different and that's why some pots came back all jacked up.
Your skin really absorbs the chemicals so use always use gloves when you can. For this use a brush. I use some industrial gloves because they really last. Don't put your hands in the glaze it is bad for your liver. Live long. I sure loved your presentation
Hi! I am refinining clay rich soil into clay at home, and do not have access to expensive electrical kilns or pure clay, and I would like to know what I can use to glaze highly impure greenware at temperatures achievable in a wood fire. If you could get back to me on this issue soon it would be highly appreciated!
But where do we get this wax from? What is it called? Where do I get the food-safe glaze at? What paint do I paint the bowl with and how do I glaze it? Does the bowl go in the oven after glaze is applied? Me and my friend are trying to make a custom water dish-pool for our pet snakes’ terrariums but I absolutely can’t find any proper information on how to make a dish from scratch.
You can buy glazes from any local pottery store. If you don't have one near you can get them shipped (my school uses mayco). Glazes need to be fired in a kiln because it has to get to 2000° for the reaction to take place. Kilns are very expensive however certain studios will allow you to rent space.
Hi, I was wondering why most of the mugs I see that are being sold just have plain or colorless glaze? I mean mostugs are just shiny with different prints on it..
+Kelilah Jewels The super awesome magical part of glazing at mid to high range temps (meaning Cone 5/6 or higher) is that the colors that happen in the kiln have to do with chemistry and not pigment. When we see red paint out of the tube we are seeing the pigment in the paint and the pigment doesn't change color very much when it dries. The color we see in the glazes are usually oxides - Iron oxide, copper carbonate, cobalt bicarbonate, rutile, etc etc. The glaze and all of the chemicals in the glaze go through physical and chemical changes in the kilns, resulting in colors that seem to appear magically. In this video, the red glaze has a ton of iron (giving it the rust red color) and cobalt. When it is fired the physical and chemical reaction gives us a sweet black glaze. So now you want an actually red glaze and you have a couple options. I will separate them by firing temp. Low-fire (Like the glazes in "paint your own pottery" places): These glazes behave closer to paints in the "what you see is what you get" sense. You can paint a brown tree branch over a blue background and the brown will be brown. Red will be red. Very predictable and uniform. My students that love to feel total control love these glazes. Mid-range (Cone 4-7): In the last 10 years the ceramic industry has had a bunch of reliable red glazes pop up. Locally I use Georgie's. Here is a link to some colors they have www.georgies.com/pdfs/pg600s-color-2015.pdf. Other brands like Duncan, Laguna, and Coyote have nice reds too. Mid range glazes are nice because many electric kilns can fire to these temps. Be prepared to pay what seems unreasonably more for your red glazes. High Fire (Cone 8-10+): Oh man...where to start. I might have to make a separate video for this one. The best high fire red glazes involve way more firing technique/skill by your kiln operator. The person firing the gas kiln will put it into a low oxygen mode called reduction. This reduction causes chemical changes that give us red. If you are a super ceramic nerd and want to know more let me know. I feel like I've said too much already....not a pro at answering posts yet. Thanks for the questions!! :)
I actually love pottery but I really don’t know how to glaze and what are the chemicals want make the glaze liquid.. can u tell me ma’am how to make this brown color liquid,, and the names of chemical
Hi...a gud video.I hope u could help me too...I have a clay pitcher with a tap.I soaked it overnight in à bucket of water...dried it n filled water.What i noticed is dat the sweat collects and fills up the bowl its placed in.Didnt spot any cracks as such.The 2nd time I filled it....same thing happens.Please help as to what needa to be done so dat my family could enjoy earthern cool water from the pitcher. Tnx
No. Glaze needs to be fired in a kiln. Concrete is too porous and may trap air which can cause the piece to explode in the kiln. Also in the high heat of a kiln, the lime in the concrete will melt-out. This could cause the piece to crumble. Hope this helps.
My knowledge of glazes is still quite limited. But I wouldn't agree with the last sentece about darker and brighter. Glazes are a matter of chemical combination, so whatever color get mixed with whatever else it can give a 3rd combination different than the two. So in any case it should be avoided unless wanted
+Krysta Monique Fireguy97 is right. The kiln gets too hot. If you wanted to glaze everything, even the bottom, you could invest in some stilts to hold your pieces up. These are more common in low fire glazes but I think I heard that they have some for higher temps. I just don't know much about them. Happy claying. www.bigceramicstore.com/kilns/kiln-furniture/stilts.html
Christa, I guess it is a teacher thing, but thank you so much for being so descriptive. I've been looking for weeks on glazing and your descriptions and details told me everything I couldn't read myself. Thank you so much!!
ughhh this is so annoying i just want to know how to glaze so it ends up like the blue bowl! i'm looking everywhere and cannot find a single set of instructions as to how to achieve this, just loads of dumb tutorials about how to do a single coat of glaze, like anyone would need a tutorial for that??? :(
It is a coat of a glaze called sloan black over the entire bowl and a two inch dip of a glaze called rutile orange-blue. You usually have to fire it in a gas kiln to achieve that drippy blue effect. It usually required a glaze with high amounts of rutile oxide. If my students ask for an answer about how to do a glaze exactly, I tell them it takes lots of practice and failed attempts and a detailed sketchbook so you can duplicate it when you find the result you like.
thank you for the response, i brought an image into my pottery class and apparently its earthenware rather than what we're doing which is different? i don't know, we haven't done any theory at all lol. so basically i tried to replicate this look with glaze manually with a paintbrush but i'm guessing its not going to work :(
![YoungBoy Never Broke Again - Sneaking [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1ILUps2zDFU/mqdefault.jpg)
I guess most of the viewers would have liked to see a picture of the finished bowl at the end of the video. Thanks for sharing!
lol i was waiting for the finished bowl so badly
Not true for me , she said significant information
I wasn't going to watch this as so many youtube videos are a waste of time, but this one was superb. You are an excellent teacher, Christa, and I would love to learn more from you. I love the added tips you mention. If you haven't done so already, I hope you produce a series on ceramics. Thank you!
I was actually searching for primitive glaze recipes but I'm very glad I stumbled onto this.
This video is so helpful for beginners. I'm getting into ceramics and had no idea about waxing. Thank you!
Awesome video! Very clear and simple directions! I wish I had you in high school!!! Good job!
I love the way that you teaching, i love it so much thanks for the tutorial.
"Liked" as soon as you demonstrated the tapping technique to determine if the piece has been fired. I always used the color to determine, but this is nice to know! Thanks!
I know nothing about ceramics and this was an informative, well thought-out, and understandable summary of the basics. Thanks!
+enwar3 Thanks! Makes me feel good as a teacher to get that feedback.
The most articulate video I have seen, Thank you
This woman is an excellent teacher! As in...excellent!!!
thank you for making such a clear, concise and easy to understand video about pottery. Extremely informative and I'm only partially through the video lol
great mehodology, references, tips and voice. greetings from perú
Thank you! This was wonderfully pleasant to watch. Very succinct and useful.
Spectacular video!❤
Thank you so very. Much for sharing this with us..
These are the best instructions I have seen. Are there others?
this video's a gem. im curious of how the bowl looked after firing!!!
This is a really clear explanation. Many thanks!
Can you tell me what wax is used thank you.brilliant video please keep them coming.
You're an excellent teacher! thank you for sharing . x
Very descriptive and informative! Thanks for the video!
thanks for this video! Helpful for me as a beginner

when you brush your glaze lets say the first coat do you wait for it to dry or do you paint it on straight after it turns that dry chalky texture

What type of glaze should we choose?..name?.. element?.or ration of elements?..pls
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Would love taking your classes.

Latex will do good
It looked like beeswax to me. Any place that sells candle making materials would have it.

you are teacher..i need your guidance...what material use for coating for ceramic crockery or pot .in which ratio...how to make mixture. please
I just want to know if I glaze or paint first or glaze, paint, glaze. On a project my boyfriend made me
Excellent
what type of wax is that? can you use any wax?
Hello. Would it work if I put a colored glaze over an under glaze? I’m not a fan of how my underglaze turned out!
So I can never glaze that bottom rim? I hate that unfinished look, are there options?
What kind of wax are you using and it looks like it is warm?
What kind of wax are you using? Do you use kiln wash or paper in kiln? Thank you
If I just want to glaze to come out white or ivory, what should I use?
It this for high temperature or low temperature glaze?
Can you reglaze a mug a different color than original?
Beautifulllllll art ....thanks
Great video. Can I just ask you what sort of materials you've used and where to get them please.
Thank you
Hi, I was wondering why most of the mugs I see that are being sold just have plain or colorless glaze? I mean mostugs are just shiny with different prints on it..
Hi. Is glaze the seme as enamel?
Do you always need to fire pottery after painting it? Can't I just go on a date at a park and paint pots?
I got my tongue stuck to the pot what should I do?
is it possible to glaze old gardening pots?
I was wondering this same thing.
So do you take the wax off before you put the pot into the kiln for firing?
It burns off.
Not that I don't agree that Bisque was fired but it didn't have to be in electric kiln :)
Why does the red glaze turn black? What color glaze would you use then if you wanted your glaze to actually be red, as opposed to black?

Tnx
What is the clay components ?? Or it just clay from mother nature
What is that wax product called?
Brand name?
i highly interested to making pot at home
where can you purchase the wax?
Do you make the wax !?
What is the name of this material in which the pottery is immersed
Can it be manufactured at home?
ههههه لا ياالله 😂 همة بخرجو امتى 😁🏺🏺🏺🏺🏺🏺🏺🏺
والله بيك بلا طلعت تكتب انكلش لعدليش دايخ
What glaze color used here.?
how can i buy wax?!
Can I thin glaze that is too thick with water?
Yes. Add it slowly and stir in gently. :)
Can you glaze a bowl made from concrete?
No. Glaze needs to be fired in a kiln. Concrete is too porous and may trap air which can cause the piece to explode in the kiln. Also in the high heat of a kiln, the lime in the concrete will melt-out. This could cause the piece to crumble. Hope this helps.
cool
Please refrain from licking your friend’s pot.
Omg 😂Literally had coffee shoot out of my nose
i need wax , where i can buy it?
where can i buy it?
If you listen closely, you can hear the unsettling noise of the cameraman's heavy breaving.
I know! Sounds like a stalker!

So we cant lick our friends pot, but can we still lick our friends?
You can't put aluminum foil on the bottom so the glaze won't stick to the kiln?
+Krysta Monique Unfortunately Aluminium melts at 1220 deg. F. Pottery kilns get hotter than that. Aluminium foil would melt in the kiln.
+Krysta Monique Fireguy97 is right. The kiln gets too hot. If you wanted to glaze everything, even the bottom, you could invest in some stilts to hold your pieces up. These are more common in low fire glazes but I think I heard that they have some for higher temps. I just don't know much about them. Happy claying. www.bigceramicstore.com/kilns/kiln-furniture/stilts.html
Another method is to fire twice, the second time upside down. I haven't done this but have read about it.
Do you have Instagram ?
now i wanna lick my pots...
+justin wadahara Thanks for making me laugh. I had no idea folks were watching these. :)
Christa Schmeder you are awesome i wish you where my teacher
Christa, I guess it is a teacher thing, but thank you so much for being so descriptive. I've been looking for weeks on glazing and your descriptions and details told me everything I couldn't read myself.
Thank you so much!!
Mind if I ask for your recipe for the wax?
How many pots have you dropped in the bucket?
😆
Nice glasses. I hear that design has +2 to detect patriarchy.
ROFLMFAO licking the ware

Don't lick your friend's pot ,,,,,, unless you're really in love.

you kind went on a tangent there about your germephobia but ok
Final result was edited out because it did not turn out too well.
what kind of wax are you using?
