I really live how encouraging the clay community is: in a lot of other art forms; there's such an emphasis on keeping your practices to yourself. Thank you so much for being open and sharing your secrets! The world is more beautiful because of it.
Spent two hours glazing two mugs, a plate, creamer & sugar bowl along with ten buttons. Firing them tomorrow. Can't wait for class to see how they turn out. Its like getting a gift every time the kiln is done. These are my first thrown mugs, far from perfect but are straight and round. Taking Ceramics I at ASU in Beebe, AR
@@karencollier5577 you might want to try making drip catchers to put under things like your vase to prevent that problem: www.oldforgecreations.co.uk/blog/drip-catchers
Karen Collier this is so cool that you posted this. I have a grinder to deal with drips. Hate that job. Using those biscuits to catch drips is a great idea. Avoids messy shelves. The bottoms of your mugs is key to being professional and ready to sell. Definitely have to be smooth. This is a really big deal to buyers. Also to avoid drip mess put some horizontal grooves in your mugs. Trial and error. Let your kiln know that you are boss! Make a bunch more vases. Think how you can fix the problem. Just make more and never give up. Pottery is rocket Science. Jon send he would do a review of people's mugs so maybe mail him something. He's pretty kind and easy on people and has interesting things to say. 😉👍🏻🤖
Wow! Now i totally understand why handmade items like these are so expensive. I did not realize how labor intensive they are. Really enjoy the vids. Thank you
Thanks for a very informative glazing video - one tip I might mention for beginners is to make sure that you wash your hands before touching your bisque ware so you don't get any oils on the surface. You also want to keep dust off of it - they can both keep glazes from adhering properly to the surface.
LOVE your friendly and humorous manner of instruction. I'm a self-taught (also in Twin Cities MN) sculptures that's branching out a bit to decorative pots, etc... Glazing is a total mystery to me and your videos are SO HELPFUL! THANK YOU!
Just got my first wheel for Christmas and came across your videos! I love how entertaining you are while still being super instructive. Thanks for the videos!!!
I haven't played with pottery since highschool (6 years ago) but I just love watching others create. Your attitude is so positive and refreshing. I adore you. This makes me want to create!
I am a “retired production potter” and I have been missing it so much! Watching you gives me the inspiration to start again. Thank you for sharing, you are amazing and I want one of your beautiful pieces! I will keep an eye out on Etsy
Thanks, I am an old potter in Huntsville Alabama and have just found your UA-cam videos. Thanks for doing these and especially this one on glazing large pots which has always been a struggle for me. I generally resort to spraying, but I like your option much better - at least until I try it and make a big mess. As in anything in pottery for the one who knows what he is doing it always look easy - not so much for the observer.
Wow super cool to know how glazing is done, I had no idea! The combinations you choose are beautiful! I especially love the canyon skies? The most colourful one :) thank you for showing!
Yep Jon, blowing my mind ! Great technique which hasn't been covered in pottery class so......now I know. I find it amazing how different glazes react with each other. Thanks-Andrea
Hi Jon Thanks for the useful video! Can you tell me a bit about the glaze you call ‘buttercream’ ? It looks like it’s simply a cream coloured glaze with a lower melting point than the glazes under so in firing it pulls the oxides down with it ?- many thanks - John
Thank you!!! i am a new potter and your videos are very helpful and entertaining...i cant wait to see you and mathew kelly doing the wood firing...very excited...thanks again!!! say hello to your family...
Newbie here from Finland... I just started to make pottery and found your awesome channel! Thanks for all the nice tips! I have some troubles with glazing but I think with these tips I´m gonna make it next time better than ever :D
I know this is an old clip but I loved it - thank you for showing the before and after of the actual glazed pieces, so many glazing tutorials don't show the finished product!
Thank you!! I am new to glazing, I have done fine with brushing, but dipping is much more difficult to get the hang of! Trying to get rid of runs and blotches!!! I am completely self taught hobbiest! Registered nurse by day and Potter by night! Earth nation and yourself have been my biggest contributors to learning techniques! I can not express enough my gratitude and will definitely become a Patreon of yours as I am already supporting earth nation! Small price to pay for loads of information! please continue to make your extremely entertaining videos and know that you are saving so much of my sanity!!
Awesome! Loved it, thanks. I'm new to the pottery game and really looking for techniques to make the glazing creative and interesting. I'm keen to put these techniques into practice. :)
Love the outcome! Thank you for instructing, inspiring, and entertaining us! Beautiful fall colors, we are still in the high 70's in South Texas so not really fall colors just yet. Keep doing what you're doing!
I love to watch potters who get glaze movement in and on their pieces, glazing makes me nervous 😓 and I've washed off almost more glaze than kept, and for me I feel disappointed that I've 'ruined' stuff I throw because of my glaze application. I just need more practice. In class I usually save all my glazing up so I have time to think of colour combination that I can try, but if I have time I find myself throwing and trimming rather than facing glazing head on. Thanks for sharing your combos. Keep potting and I will keep watching
I am always amazed with your videos, I have learned so much from them, that in the next few weeks I will be getting my first wheel, Been doing hand built, Time to step it up, You and all the other potters that use you tube have given me the courage , the desire , and the know how to dive in head first, sure , i expect some bumps in the road, But i will always have the potters here on you tube to help me, Thanks Jon, I have watch everyone of yours, along with the others,
I learned these techniques from my teacher. They're great. I typically only use them for under glazes and use a brush to hand paint different designs on my pieces. Despite that they are invaluable. I can't tell you how much of a mess I would have made if I hadn't learned how to pour glaze.
Great video. I appreciate that you show us the after pictures too which is very helpful. Nice to see how the pieces actually turn out once fired. Have subscribed and will be on the look out for more of your video's !
I had a good friend teach me how to throw pottery, glaze, fire, etc. Absolutely loved it. Then arthritis in my hands made me stop. I sure miss it. Love your work.
I am a very new ceramicist, less than a year old! Found your channel and it has been super helpful! I tried your three glaze idea and I LOVED how my stuff came out! Wish I could share a photo with you on UA-cam😊anyway, just wanted to say thanks!
I love the way you are so through with your explanations and encouraging for others. You make beautiful pieces. I loved this video. The colors are awesome.
I’m still a beginner and don’t plan to do this for a living (too many other interests). I love the layers of colors! Thanks! I’m stoked to get back to the studio!
Jon you took the guess work out of larger bowl glazing. I have learned so much from you, I truly appreciate that you share your knowledge, you are a true inspiration. Thank you so much I look forward to all your videos. Dianne in Duluth Mn. I too love Continental Clay they are the best too.
I've been taking a wheel throwing class and your youtube channel has taught me so much that my ceramics professors think I should already know haha. Thank you for covering all of these tips!!

This firing turned out perfect. Wish I could say the same on the next one. My vase stuck to the shelf. The glaze was too thick. 😓

I'm gonna try your technique on my bowls! Thanks for sharing, this is awesome tips to learn!
This is one of the most informative videos I have seen about glazing, and I’ve seen plenty! Thanks
Very well-done...as a beginner the repetition of the types and sequencing of the glazes is great! The camera angles were just fine.
Glazing is so much fun! I dip, bubble, spray. Brush, splatter....you name it... I love it❣️

Yeah it took me a while to get that pouring method down but it is definitely worth it and my favorite way to glaze now!
Wow super cool to know how glazing is done, I had no idea! The combinations you choose are beautiful! I especially love the canyon skies? The most colourful one :) thank you for showing!
I really like the glazing videos because everyone seems to do it a little different. Thanks for sharing.

Just starting on this journey. Thanks for the info. Really helpful
Awesome. Thank you for teaching 🥰
Just started a pottery class and this week’s class is glazing our pieces and I’m so nervous about it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks for the video. I liked the before, during and after. Some videos glaze but you never see the finished product.
I just found this channel. Very informative and well put together. I heart you, John the Potter.
Jon that was great! Very helpful, ive been pondering how to glaze large bowls without dipping so hit me just perfectly
Yeah its a tough technique and the pour/spin method takes a few times to master, but it really is the best way I think...
It's amazing and very informative, I can't wait to try it. :) Thank you !!!
I love the way you are so through with your explanations and encouraging for others. You make beautiful pieces. I loved this video. The colors are awesome.
I’m still a beginner and don’t plan to do this for a living (too many other interests). I love the layers of colors! Thanks! I’m stoked to get back to the studio!
Thank you for this video, this is very helpful. I'm currently experimenting with different glaze combinations and loving the effects I'm getting.
Awesome, great to hear!
So inspiring, thank you very much!

Thank you so much. It is wanderful. 🙏😍
Super stoked for this video! Thanks for this. I'm mixing myself a cratering glaze this week.
Sweet! Good luck!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

Great! Will try the drip pour on my latest pot.
Will try ... but not sure, what effect will come with green items. Lets try. Thanks a lot, for sharing.
your pottery skills are amazing .. only rivalled by those camera skills :) love your videos
That is really cool man and you the nature around you inspiring you 👍🏻
Love your attitude and your pottery. Love from Texas.
