Hi Lois just found this video and it was very interesting helpful as needed some combos for T S and Iron Lustre - thanks for the experiment which helped enormously!
What a very informative video! Thank you for sharing. I am relatively new to pottery and got my first kiln last weekend. I now have loads of bisque pieces crying out for glazes but where to start! I love the look of the Amaco glazes and the layering technique and you have inspired me to try out the endless combinations! I too love the blues n greens but I can’t pick a favourite - they are all stunning! Good luck with the dinner set. That is what I would ultimately love to achieve! Thank you from Sunny Dorset
Your welcome. Remember I am doing there because it’s a different clay and glaze reacts differently to different clays. Best use a white in grogged clay to start and then watching my other videos will help you as I am using ES10 by Scarva
@@LoisHook Thank you. As it happens I bought some white clay when I bought the kiln. All my bisque stuff is buff but might crack the white open for some comparisons.
My favorite is the last one with the Blue Rutile. But that one you are going with is a very close second. I prefer blues as well. This dinner set will be gorgeous.
HI Thanks Lois, Thanks for your reply, I'll Definitely go to Cone 6 next time , I tried desert dusk last firing and it was very flat, . Keep doing what your doing its such a help Many thanks Val , Southampton
Hi Lois! My husband and I watch your videos in the evenings, to help us relax, as well as inspire our own work with ceramics. Thank you for being you, and making your awesome videos!!!!
Hi Lois, first of all thankyou for all your "Glaze testing," I admire your energy !!! I too love layering and have been firing to cone 5 !! i'm thinking i should be going to Cone 6, these glazes are so stable Im afraid to up the temp incase they run, but i've watched your videos and have decided to be brave, !! also I wanted to say have you tried Light flux that too is a WinWin thanks Lois, Val , southampton
Thanks for the great message. No I’ve not tried flux as yet. My Skutt i use a preset to cone 6 I do a medium fire and have done 15 minute hold 10 minute and no hold. All go above cone 6. I spoke to the gent from Corby Kilns about the fact I get great results but should I change because it’s nearer to cone 7. He said it’s like baking a cake. If it works don’t change it. And to be fare so far I have been so happy with the results every time I think about going to a cooler fire I decide not to because it really works. Thanks again.
I bought Toasted sage because I liked the green colour so much, but it turned out like purple! (Like your mug.) Can you imagine why that's the case? I used a white clay...
I would suggest that toasted sage may present differ on either different clays as the one in your pic is Lava Flek a high grogged clay and very Beige. Or maybe it changes at different kiln temps. Work looking on Amaco for that info. One would be fired on a high cone 6.
Thank you so much for the informative video! Very helpful for a beginner myself. When you say 1 and 2, do you mean how many layers you brush on? Thanks!
I just love the way you explain the layering of colours, so helpful , awesome outcome, thank you!
Simply great video
Perfect lighting and camera work
Great job
Would love to see the dinner set when it's finished. Beautiful colors and pottery!

I love your videos. So helpful!!
Very helpful video! Were these oxidation or reduction fired?
Electric kiln - Oxidation.
@@LoisHook thank you for the speedy response☺️

You can get a wind cover for your mic when you’re outside to help. Thank u for sharing this info!
Good idea. Thanks.

Beautiful
Lois, this is great. What cone did you fire these samples.
Same on all glaze I’m firing at the moment cone 6

Yes what cone? Thanks
I’m guessing these are cone 5/6 glazes because I’m familiar with the glazes she is talking about. :)
Cone 6 medium fire no hold. As my kiln is nearer a 7
What was the weight of the clay you used for the cups?
225gm Lavaflek. I tried 210 first not enough. I was following Florian Gadsby and using his weights.
Are this hi temperature?
Come 6 medium hold but my kiln is nearer a cone 7
Thank you so much for the informative video! Very helpful for a beginner myself. When you say 1 and 2, do you mean how many layers you brush on? Thanks!
Yes I do mean that.
