Decorative Tiles from Plaster Molds - GLAZE FLOODING TECHNIQUE!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Ann makes a plaster mold for tiles - THEN CARVES some awesome designs in them - THEN she makes a porcelain from the mold - THEN she uses a technique called "glaze flooding" (I think she made this up) to color the tiles. Please enjoy this tile decoration process!
Answers to questions we get all the time:
We typically bisque to Cone 04 and fire to Cone 5-6
Ann typically uses Standard English Porcelain no. 365 unless specified otherwise in the video

I love the way you explain things. So clear! I will definitely try this. 😀
That is so nice Liz! Thank you so much for watching
**IMPORTANT TIP**. I seamlessly placed strips of clear packing tape over the tile that I plastered over. I left the tape tails along the back so I could lift the tile out of the plaster mold when the plaster was hardened.
Stunning you have a real gift.
I love it 😍
Yeah!! Thanks so much!! Give it a try
Thanks!
Thank you Cindy - we appreciate your support!

You already know how I so respect your mind and talents ❤... did or csn you spray the plaster if it starts to dry before finished carving? Was it pottery plaster? I have 100lbs of that 🤦🏾♀️Meet you at the corner coffee shop ❤
Haha. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!! Actually I used plain plaster of paris that i found at the hardware store, but you can try whatever plaster you have. The one I used seems to stay "carvable" for a while. In fact, one of the samples I poured several weeks ago is still in that soft carvable stage. I dont know how long I have until the plaster will be too hard to carve. That question is for someone who uses plaster much more than I do. I just experiment with it 🙂
Pottery plaster will be harder than plaster of Paris when cured, and would be fine for this purpose.
@@JohnLowes Thanks John!!! I appreciate that!
she is a real teacher
Aww...thanks so much Zenaide!! I appreciate you watching.
Since the plaster would really dry out the clay pretty fast, it seems like you could just let the clay sit in the mold for 30 min or so and then turn it over to get the tile out. Seems like It would just fall out, no?
Hey Vicki. I was hoping that as well. The first tile I made, I let sit for a couple of days hoping it would dry and then fall out, but it didnt. Maybe I didnt wait long enough but I didnt want to take a chance that it would shrink and damage the lines those inner carved lines along the tile. I found that inserting the metal rib worked great to stick to the clay and the clay came right out with no damage.
Perhaps the reason your mold stayed so wet is because you didn't use pottery plaster.
@@theabristlebroom4378 Hi Thea. Im sure you are right. Actually, I like that it stayed carvable longer. It gave me more time to really think about what design I wanted to carve into it but even when the plaster was still soft, I could still pull tiles from it. 🙂
Love it! Of course I have a question… if some of us are not as talented as you in the drawing department, could you use cookie cutters or other stamps to get the outlines to carve into the plaster? Also I’ve seen a similar process where they add wax to the black underglaze to make outlines to flood. Do you know the name of that one? Thanks so much!! You are THE BEST!
PS- love the birdies!
I think if you took a printed out design and placed it design side down then traced over the lines it would carve into the plaster enough that you could see it when the paper was lifted. At least that's my guess with how soft the platter looked when she started carving.
Hey ! Great questions and great tip too. I think the cookie cutters are a great idea. Also perhaps coloring books can be a good source for illustrations as they are already segmented. As far as black wax goes I think I have seen it in some of the pottery supplies online. Of course you dont have to use it for this process, but I think you may be thinking of the cuerda seca technique. I think that is right if I am understanding you..
@@aprilwoosley1342 Great idea April! You are right about the plaster, It was quite soft when I carved this video.
@@annruel1982 That’s it!! Thanks so much!
What glazes were used? Regular glazes or underglazes?
Hi Deborah. I used the glazes that I had. Most of them are Amaco celedons but some of them were like satin matts. I think I may have accidentally used one underglaze color but it worked fine, just no shine to it
@@annruel1982 I was wondering the same question as Deborah. The black Designer Liner is an underglaze, yes? But your other colors are actually high-fire glazes? Did you put a clear glaze over the whole tile after the colors were on?
@@speck8135 Hi S! You are right, I made a boo boo and forgot that the Designer Liner was an underglaze instead of a glaze. Good eyes. No I didnt put any clear glaze over the tile. All the others I used were glazes that are already glossy. I sort of like the fact that that bit of underglaze on that tile gives the tile a different texture than the glossy glazes.
You are a superstar.
haha!!! You just made my day, RV
Thanks!
Aww....thanks so much!! Your contribution will go a long way to help us afford to do more experimenting!! 🙂
Cuerda seca is an easier technique is an easier than making plaster molds. Google the technique
Thanks Denise! You are right, but what if you want to make multiples of the same tile. Would the plaster mold be useful for that?
I love these!! I like the hummingbird the best, but all are very nice!! May I ask where you purchased the stands?
Hi Chris. Thanks so much! The stand that I displayed the tile on? Hmmm...I cant remember. I might have gotten it at Michaels??
@@annruel1982 Thanks!
@@chrisp7548 Your welcome. I bet you can find them on Amazon if you dont find them locally 🙂.
@@annruel1982 I started looking around for these. I think it would be a good project for my 86 yo (almost) father-in-law. Right now he is making me a 5ft tall mission style for my double-potted mini African violets. Could be his last big project. Building stands might be just the thing for him.
@@chrisp7548 Oh Wow!! He sounds like a real go getter! I love projects but a 5 ft tall mission style shelf it so ambitious!! Great for him. I bet he would enjoy making the stands. Maybe you could make the tiles to display on them 🙂
I wonder if you could do a transfer to put the pattern on the plaster... I am better at tracing than drawing.
Yes, you could do a transfer and carve over that. We're looking at doing a video on that - stay tuned!
Every time I see your work it makes me happy!🐝🤗❤️
Aww....I love that Deborah. Thank so much
@@annruel1982 You’re welcome!🐝🤗❤️
Ann, What type of glazes did you use for flooding?
Oh, wow! They're so beautiful. 💓💕💖
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching.
Fabulous!! Thank so much! I love them!❤
Oh, I am so glad you enjoyed that Karen!! thanks so much for waching. Happy potting
This is exactly the technique I was looking for! So helpful
Right away! Enjoy!
What is the coloring materials?
Underglaze paint mixed with water?
Straight underglaze.
In case it hasn't been mentioned, there is such a thing as potters plaster. It's support to work better for techniques such as this. I have no opinion myself, as I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
ohhh...will have to check that out!
This looks great! I'll definitely try this one. I just learned how to use the plaster molds, so it's perfect timing!
Oh Great Ana!! go for it. thanks for watching!! I had to play around with the plaster molds a bit to figure out some things, but it worked out. 🙂
Are you flooding with underglaze or the final glaze (like a clear plus mason stain)?
All are final glaze materials - mostly Amaco celadons. Sky Blue, Weeping Plum, Ochre etc...
@@LittleStreetPottery Thanks!
Hello Anne
I ordered some underglaze from my local pottery supply store and the gave me a 10g CMC Gum and it says to add it to water. I was watching a video and she added it to boiling water is that what I'm supposed to do. Also can I just add it to my glazes as needed or is there and other uses for it. I'm asking you because you've been the best at experimenting. I'm just not sure how to use it or when to use it.
I've not used it with boiling water (epsom salt requires hot water) - I've added CMC right to the underglaze. Thanks.
@@LittleStreetPottery ok thank you good to know and I love your cake decorating ideas
How delightfully adorable! I love the idea.
Amazing Anne!
Really love this! They came out great! Were there any “lessons learned” or things you’d do different going forward? Love the creativity!
Yes, be careful not to contaminate the clay with plaster! This first tile is always a sample - then refine the mold. Thanks.
