It is a great idea but the colour selection is lacking vibrant pastels & neon pastels! 😅 I’ve always been disappointed with the selection of pottery paints every time I’ve taken a class or done it at camp. Like why is there always red & peach & nude but never PINK?!?! 😫 👀 k I’m done 🙈
That’s because they don’t really exist! Essentially a lot of colours don’t hold up in the extreme temperatures of the kiln firings. These are as extreme as they kind of get without mixing and changing the colours up. It’s really frustrating, but neons don’t work and vibrant pastels need to be custom mixed but even then you can unbalance the pigment chemistry and it can still not be nice. If you would like to paint something in pastels it’s best to do something non functional where it can be sculptural and use an acrylic paint instead
I just think it is cool that you dip into the glaze & it looks like you have covered all the colors with white, but they come out shiny with bold, bright, and beautiful colors. 🎉😮🎉
Glazes do be like that. I've been taking ceramics this school year, and hoo boy the glazes get weird. (So many people were using tenmoku (a really dark brown-ish color) at the end of this semester, that the floor was absolutely covered in red dust from the red iron oxide used to make the glaze. And the iron oxide is like impossible to remove from clothes and other pieces if you accidentally touch them)
It's because the clear glaze is almost all silica, without added colorants -- and silica melts into glass! Silica powder is white so that's why the unfired glaze is an opaque white I think glaze chemistry is so fascinating and cool
Yeah, it's always neat to see. My school has clear glazes that appear as a light pink and a light aqua color before firing (the aqua ones smell like a zoo, tho)
Coat tiles are so helpful! Whenever I’ve gone to a place to paint pottery, they don’t have that and I don’t always put enough coats to get the look I want.
I was an art student when I was in college. These color swatches are just very satisfying to my brain. It reminds me of a color theory class project. ❤
I am a big time pastel girl, ever since I could remember and your videos and all the colour palettes bring instant soothing to my eyes. When I was in my teen and pre teen days, I would always want pastel frocks and skirts, but unfortunately where I grew up bright colours were popular and in demand and getting pastels were difficult! But now, here I am able to fulfil all my pastel dress dreams! Love from Sydney
my daddy used to bring me to a pottery studio caller Glazed Over. it was one of our favorite things to do together! this video reminds me of that studio. they even had gift cards made out of tile!
I used to work at a ceramic painting place (kids bday parties/camps/etc.) and we had swatch plates and they are SOOO helpful. I quite miss being able to sit and paint samples for the wall
You are so clever Shelby, very helpful and somehow also cute... How come everything you make ends up being cute? Magnetic glaze samples and a dotted plate!
Am I the only one who likes the muted pastel colors before pottery gets cured? I’d be soo happy with my creation even if it was muted, I always loved muted colors.
I wish I lived nearby! Maine, USA isn't close enough. But I am wishing you great success. You will have customers out the door if your lines at the market days are any indication. You probably will need appointment books!
This is brilliant. The first time I painted a pot the colors confused me so much I just accepted that pastel was the only option so I changed all of my plans for my piece to accommodate a muted product and then WHAM was I wrong - but the sadness was there was no do over.
Yes and no; it depends on what kind of glaze you use. Underglaze is kind of like paint, it fires matte and can usually be mixed together. Glaze fires shiny, and cannot be mixed with other colors. You can use clear glaze over underglaze (after firing) to achieve the underglaze color with a shiny finish. There are also colored glazes which can completely change color after firing because of a chemical reaction to the heat of the kiln. Having tile swatches of these glazes is super important because the color of the glaze in the bottle won’t match the final product. Even if you mix a glaze that fires blue with one that fires yellow, you won’t end up with green. Mixing glazes can be dangerous and unpredictable, some elements in the glazes can react with each other and explode in the kiln. Even if you know how certain elements will react to each other, you won’t know which elements are in the glaze because the recipes are secret. TLDR: you can mix underglaze, but because of chemistry you can’t mix glaze.
There is a pottery coloring shop near me and they also had tiles with a “one coat” side and like a “three coat side” so you could see how the glaze layered It’s a great idea, I like that yours had a thing for 1, 2, and 3 coats!
You said Ballarat? I'm thinking we're talking about Australia? I just looked you up, and didn't find "The Cottage, Ballarat." (Am I hearing that correctly?) I haven't done pottery in over a decade, but would love to try it again. Do you have a website?
Completely unrelated, but hearing Balarat just makes me think of Sherlock Holmes..... like, I had to watch this twice because the moment I heard it, my mind just got sucked into a replay. Reread?? Either way. Black Jack of Balarat.
θ‿θ Necesitamos una vajilla así. Cómo ese plato con el muestrario de colores y su numeración en los platos medianos. Luego cada plato grande sería de un color sólido, y cada cuenco sería blanco y estos motivos irían en los bordes del mismo, como una corona. Las tazas serían con un color y un número en el fondo y sus asas serían blancas. Ya está, es mi pedido a los dioses de la cerámica.
This so HELPFUL! I wish I had this during my pottery class! I knew it would change but I really wanted to see exactly how it would look I ended up doing a black and put on so many layers it was actually impressive how nice it turned out but I secretly wish it was less intense
I loved having the swatches when I was learning in school (an elective/extra credit class). We didn't have ones for the number of coats of glaze, so that was extremely well thought of, in my opinion ❤
Love, love, LOVE! 😍 I really wished I had this the one time I did pottery, it was really confusing trying to figure out which color was what I wanted and whether I did enough layers 😩
A local paint your own pottery, in my home town in America, they actually did this but on eagerly paint brush holder at every table. So that every table has 1-2 reference guides, with a number under the color that matches their coordinated wall of paint bottles. It’s pretty amazing
I’d sculpted some porcelain flowers once, and I was using a water color like under glaze that hadn’t be used before. I thought it was getting a lovely magenta color, and after the firing it turned bright blue! It’s still lovely, but it was quite a surprise! Color swatches are so useful, because what you see is not always what you get!
Wait what? You're so nice, omg? I just found your channel and it seems so.. You give off such a beauty vibe, You are definitely one of the healthiest idv players I have ever seen. Love for you.
My goodness after firing and glazing those colors really get vibrant - they were barely noticeable, the reason you were doing multiple layers, but once you've through the entire process, the saturation (and to a lesser extent also value, even hue as the white background shines through less) changes - these are soooo pretty, lovely done ♡ ^&^
I was literally just thinking about going to a make your own pottery place and I was hoping maybe that they would have something like this because I've taken a pottery class before and used paint and it came out. Not what I was thinking it would look like and I wish my teacher would have had samples like this So I hope the one that I go to in the future has samples like this Just to look and be able to visualize a little bit more.
I’m taking ceramic and I’m excited to see what we do in class we just made stamps to label our art I accidentally broke the middle off of one of my letter I tried securing it back on I don’t know how it will do going to the kiln
My mother joined a ceramics studio when she retired. She and the other long term students are having a horrible time convincing the administration to put updated swatches up. They even volunteered to make the test tiles themselves! The woman in charge still said no.🤦 My mother made them anyway. She's running an underground reference system out of a skuzzy plastic bin. 😂
I used to do a TON of pottery (my parents even got me my own wheel and I fired everything at my school kiln) but I completely forgot how hard it was to tell if you missed a spot in your 2nd and 3rd coat. (The first layer before and after it was fired for reference)
Many congratulations to you for having such a smart and intelligent pottery studio. I'm also like this and as a customer I'd love to be a student/customer at such a studio.
Color‐Me‐Mine had the exact same method, to present the hues and pigments of colors! It's a tactic everyone in the arts industry executes, as a standard!
I went to a pottery place similar that had the paint swatches on each table! It really helped me get the design I wanted for my peice and I've never been more proud of my own painting work😁
This is such a smart idea! I remember when i was younger i went to a local flea market with my grandma and painted ceramics with acrylic and once with the firing paint. I felt bad i had to ask the lady to help me find what color would match the colors in my photo of our old family bird. It turned out to be a beautiful vase with 2 birds on it.
I went to a local paint your own pottery place and they had tiles on every table with all the fired colours on and they were so useful. Only tip is you may want to ‘hide’ the black from kid cos otherwise they may just paint the whole piece one colour (by hide I mean you just had to ask for the black and they were happy to give it).
This is what I’ve been wanting at the pottery place near me. I was painting something and they said it’s usually 3 shades darker but it ended up getting to be 10, so swatches are appreciated
Someone at my school did this! Even made a custom mold of a hand sculpted swatch tile! Helps with mass producing it! Another great addition to the tile was a textured portion as well as different amounts of coats
My ceramic teacher had samples like this too and it was super helpful many colors look alike as a liquid and then turn out completely different after firing
Top tip: our one had two halves on some samples with the unglazed and unfired paint next to the glazed fired paint! Next to see what it looks like before and after at a glance
that is so cool! as a person who loves to go to pottery painting places similars to yours i find this so cool to see the process. one thing that i think could be really cool is the place i go to uses animals like a peacock to display the colors (peacocks are like the animal of the area or smth idk) i think it would be so cool if you gave that a shot with an animals or object that reflects onto where you are or something about the place! either way so cool and thanks for letting me share an idea
Color swatches are so helpful for pottery. I really like the idea of the tiles with the additional coats.

I wish there are more pastels. I love how pottery looks pre-fired and then it's all so BRIGHT afterwards. These are helpful and beautiful!
I just add white paint to them, then they seem to stay a very similar colour to what they looked like pre-fired!
That's so wonderfully practical 😊
Having color swatches was one of the most helpful things in my ceramics class in highschool. Idk how I'd color my pieces right without it.
Wonderful idea! I wish my art teacher did this, could have done it like a project
my daddy used to bring me to a pottery studio caller Glazed Over. it was one of our favorite things to do together! this video reminds me of that studio. they even had gift cards made out of tile!
This looks amazing im so excited for you!!! Im a new subbie! ❤
The vibrancy change in the colours before and after firing is mind blowing!😂
Showing the different number of coats is genius, haven’t seen this anywhere around me
I used to work at a ceramic painting place (kids bday parties/camps/etc.) and we had swatch plates and they are SOOO helpful. I quite miss being able to sit and paint samples for the wall
So helpful to be able to really see the colours and clever to have the cross reference between the colour swatch plates and the tiles
Ya reminded me of my mom’s ceramic studio!! Bless her soul! Thank you. ❤❤
I love the muted look, why they always turn so vibrant? 😢
Probably because that’s just the color palette she prefers.
You are so clever Shelby, very helpful and somehow also cute... How come everything you make ends up being cute? Magnetic glaze samples and a dotted plate!
LOVE this. Anything that is aesthetic AND pratical is the best !!
Am I the only one who likes the muted pastel colors before pottery gets cured? I’d be soo happy with my creation even if it was muted, I always loved muted colors.
I prefer the muted version too
I have a similar attraction where I’m from it’s called accidental artist, I made a plate there, and they show a similar palette system
These will be so helpful to your customers.
I’m just starting my own studio and you are such a huge inspiration! You are so happy and full of joy and talent! You go girl! ❤
I work at a local pottery place and it's soooooo important when ppl know how the colors turn out in the end bc they really do change sm!!!
I wish I lived nearby! Maine, USA isn't close enough. But I am wishing you great success. You will have customers out the door if your lines at the market days are any indication. You probably will need appointment books!
Oh my god is it Paint a Pot? I went there for my friend’s birthday but it was in Melbourne
This is brilliant. The first time I painted a pot the colors confused me so much I just accepted that pastel was the only option so I changed all of my plans for my piece to accommodate a muted product and then WHAM was I wrong - but the sadness was there was no do over.

Always wondered if you can mix glazes like paint to get new colors? Or it's not a thing?

this is so underrated🥹💓💓
i really wanna do that now
Can i eat it
so delicious
Before it was fired/glazed
Me: pffft they look the same
After: OH MY GOD JUST KIDDING 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Beautiful!
Hi Shelby, what brand of underglaze do you use? I love that you're opening a little Paint Your Own 😍
That's a very clever idea. I'm very happy for you. If I ever get to the other side of the planet, I would love to visit
Did you just make like 15 perfect circles…without a stencil…😱
So pretty! The vibrancy is beautiful 💕💕
There is a pottery coloring shop near me and they also had tiles with a “one coat” side and like a “three coat side” so you could see how the glaze layered

日本の観光地“軽井沢”に皿に絵を描くサービスを提供している店が在ります。

I just want a set of those coat tiles as coasters or something, they're so cute all together like that
Love swatching ❤🎉😊
Hello from British Columbia Canada
You said Ballarat? I'm thinking we're talking about Australia? I just looked you up, and didn't find "The Cottage, Ballarat." (Am I hearing that correctly?)

HOW CUTE!! Really takes the guess work out of wondering what your pottery is going to look like when it’s done❤️❤️

Man with the single coat examples, I wounder if you could make something looking like water color...
hey! This is lovely and I also wanna Ask! What is this, filter(? or what), that makes your video look sooo good and bright and orangey?
🩵💜🧡 Such a great help. Also, the magnets are ingenious.

Such nice bright colours I wish I lived near Ballarat!
My art teacher had color swatches, I wanted to use a "marshmallow" white color, and after it cured it turned dark blue 🥹
I went to a pottery studio for a birthday party once. Had much fun, and sculpted these cup like castle things
Wish my local Paint Your Own type place was still open 🥲, it closed during lockdown
IDK if it's just my vibe since I paint, but I love colour swatch anything as a decoration or functional item
Many congratulations to you for having such a smart and intelligent pottery studio. I'm also like this and as a customer I'd love to be a student/customer at such a studio.
Uhhh why can’t I live nearby.. (I‘m from Germany, so not anywhere close to you lol)
We had something similar at my school! These are wildly helpful, thank you for doing this for people who are newer
Color‐Me‐Mine had the exact same method, to present the hues and pigments of colors! It's a tactic everyone in the arts industry executes, as a standard!
Ballarat?!?! BRB, flying to Melbourne to sit on a train for 1.5hrs to say hello #WorthIt
It’s so crazy to see how the multiple coats aren’t visible until glazing.
I'd love to paint some pottery. I heard there is something nearby but I domestic know where.
I went to a pottery place similar that had the paint swatches on each table!
It really helped me get the design I wanted for my peice and I've never been more proud of my own painting work😁

Not me loving all the colors before they are fired😂
But truly yes colorswatches are the best to have around (I work in watercolors myself)
My anxiety when I thought that was white paint: 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
Oh this is genius! I should do this for my own workspace, just so I can know at a glance what I’m working with
Ballarat within AUSSIE BALLARAT IVE WENT THERE!
This is what I’ve been wanting at the pottery place near me. I was painting something and they said it’s usually 3 shades darker but it ended up getting to be 10, so swatches are appreciated
The pastels and layers coming out super vibrant is a fun surprise! Perfect idea ^^
I actually love how they look pastel before u glaze... tbh I like it before it was glazed
This is such a cute idea and they look amazing as decoration! Now I'd really live a swatch plate as an actual plate xD
Someone at my school did this! Even made a custom mold of a hand sculpted swatch tile! Helps with mass producing it! Another great addition to the tile was a textured portion as well as different amounts of coats
Cool. I made swatches for my markers because the lids never actually represented the color
That is such a good idea!
That must help so much ik it would for me because I’m indecisive 😂
Those samples would make an amazing actual dining set, starting with plates and coasters.
My ceramic teacher had samples like this too and it was super helpful many colors look alike as a liquid and then turn out completely different after firing
What a great idea! Thanks so much for doing that for ypur customers
Awesome colors, so pretty! What camera are you using?
Top tip: our one had two halves on some samples with the unglazed and unfired paint next to the glazed fired paint! Next to see what it looks like before and after at a glance

How
Please suggest a brand for pottery paint and the glaze, wax
Amazing idea! Look so pretty
