PEACOCK Style Glazing with Cone 6 Glazes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 тра 2023
- Peacock Eye Glazing is a trendy technique where glazes are used with the intention of allowing them to run to create the illusion of a Peacock Feather “Eye”!
I have 7 pointers I show toward the end to remember to increase your success.
Use a light base glaze
Use a stable base glaze
Use some glazes with a FLUXING nature (That has a lower melting point, and helps to encourage runs)
Use on a vertical or curved surface- interior recommended
Use multiple layers for runs
Be careful on exterior or near foot
A base glaze that is runny won’t yield much detail

In this video, I am using Standard 225, a nice midrange firing tan stoneware.
I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 32 years, the past 22 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...
I started my UA-cam channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently, especially with my semester ending “Pick A Passion” projects- see link here: • Pick A Passion Project
I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!

My favorite local supplier from whom I purchase my clay and glazes is: cornellstudiosupply.com
Love the peacock glazing and how you showed the difference between the base glazes. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your teaching videos with the public.❤
Oh my! They turned out beautiful!!
Loved this! Thanks again!
Well done.
Another great tutorial, thank you!
You're very welcome! Thanks for the kind words!
hello, excellent work. a question. How are glass enamels made? I follow you from Mexico I am also a ceramist
❤
You dipped the white piece in white glaze before applying the peacock glazes?
Thank you so much for such a clear explanation of peacock glazing. I tried once and failed (fairly new to pottery). Will definitely try again, keeping your tips in mind! Thanks again!
Hi Maya- yes- I put the white on as my base layer! 😃
@@KaransPotsAndGlass thank you!
can you tell me what stable white glaze you used? Also, what is your favorite clear glaze?
I used the Coyote white glaze- just their regular white gloss cone 6! My favorite cone 6 clear is also coyote- it is a gloss... and I just am a little sparing in application to prevent a milky or cloudy look that comes with too thick an application! www.coyoteclay.com/BuyCone6.html
I like the darker bowl better then the white one.
Are all the glazes flux glazes?
no- the base white is stable- but on the bowl I show later- with robin's egg- that is a runner!
