🎉❤ I like to watch your channel when I’m just relaxing. Right now I’m catching up on sewing things for my kids and learning new stuff from you!! Have a wonderful day!!!
Hi there! Greetings from Vancouver! I’m curious and would like to mix my own glazes. I’m not intimidated by the math or the chemistry. The issue for me is space and properly managing the waste and clean up. I thought your results were amazing! Such a beautiful colour. This was an inspirational video! Thank you!
Glaze ingredients do fit nicely into stackable plastic containers. There are recipes you can make with fewer ingredients, but once you get started it's hard to not want all the ingredients. It might be a good year to try it. Thanks for watching!
Not sure I am ready to mix my own but thanks for sharing, I seen there was a place here in Canada if you send them a recipe they will mix it for you. So you don't need to buy all the supplies but still get a cheaper glaze
Even with their fee? I bet it’s not cheaper, but more custom. Something like that might be worth it just to save on the space required for all the chemical storage.
Yeah, we have some ceramic stores that will do that as well. I believe it is still a bit more money to do it that way rather than having large bags of your own ingredients. It's still a great option for people who want more glaze variety than what is offered commercially.
I feel like I ran that cost analysis on one recipe in the studio white video and I believe I still saved $50 mixing it myself, rather than having them weigh out the glaze ingredients for me and send the dry mix.
Great video! These are my favourite videos you make, where you mix your own glazes and show the results. As you mention... a few pinholes... do you have any tricks to reduce those? I've found position in the kiln can have an effect (my kiln is hottest at the top and more prone to bubbles here). Would love to see you mixing your own glazes then doing glaze layering combos. Have a fantastic 2025 and I look forward to your videos!
As far as those pinholes go, usually the drop-hold schedule I fire with takes care of those. I am wondering if that glaze doesn't like the Iceman clay, and since I just bought 300 lbs of b-mix I am going to try it more on that clay before further trouble shooting. I have layered this glaze with lynette opal to increase movement. So yes, tricks were already used, and still the pinholes on that one cup. Sometimes a glaze/clay combo just isn't right, but I haven't tested enough to be certain. Thanks for watching!
@@threelittlepotters I recall you fire to cone 6 from earlier videos. I do too... I'm tending to fire to 1205°C, soaking for 5mins then free fall drop. Whstvpeak temp do you fire to and what does your drop hold ramp look like?
@threelittlepotters Would love a video on your firing schedule(s) and chat through why you've set them up the way you have if you're looking for video ideas! :) I have a hold just below 100 deg centigrade for an hour just in case any of the wares still retain a little bit of moisture for example. Actually 80 degrees as the kiln always breaches the top of the ramp before coming back down and settling... Guessing quite a few people would like an insight into a real life strategy to reduce pinholes! :)
Here is a video of me punching in my exact firing schedule. ua-cam.com/video/U3y7y-R31rE/v-deo.html My top temperature may be different than yours, I went by my cones when determining that initial top end number. The theory behind a drop-hold schedule is to go to the top temperature, then drop only a 100 degrees. At that point the glaze is still very fluid, so you can give it more time at that temp, (i do 30 min) and that will give the glaze more time to fill in all the little pinholes. As long as it is sitting under the top temp like that you shouldn't get enough heat work to push it over the initial cone you were firing to. Of course your bisque firing also plays a part in pinhole reduction if you have a problematic clay. Long and slow for bisque is ideal.

Brown clay and this glaze is awesome. I must try this. Thank so beautiful glaze recipe.
I hope it will work well for you! Thanks for watching!
happy New Year! Thanks for making mixing glazes less intimidating. I love your shortcuts! Thanks and regards, Chris
