Thanks for the refresher and the memories :) grew up since like 5 y.o. working in my mother's ceramic shop. came across this for ideas and a reinsurance my memory from way back then was correct, planning on making dishware for the home I own using the actual clay from the yard. and wanted to brush up on glaze and under glazing, loved the video thanks
This video is awesome. You are so well spoken and couldn't have been more effective in teaching us the information you shared. Please do more!! Thank you so much
What a beautiful colors of glaze and underglazes you use could you recommend what type of it you use and burning temperature for bisc and ceramic. Thanks a lot I didn't knew transparent technique, all of them are really cool.
An easier way to do inlay with the coloured slip is wait until its leatherhard and then use a rib to remove a think layer which leaves a crisp outline. Saves grinding afterwards.
Most underglaze works on mid- and high fire clay (read the labels). Underglaze can be put on greenware or bisqueware due to its chemical makeup, but yes, glaze should be applied to bisqueware.
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing! I do have a question, what kind of glaze did you put down first for the maiolica method? Was it just a regular mid-fire white glaze?
I was wondering if I do the inlay in a dark brown for example on the bottem interior of the cup and then pour + dip with a lighter brown. Will I still see the lettering? Very scared to just have them disapear.
Majolica uses thinned colored slips or underglazes over the top of unfired white glaze, and then sinks into the glaze as it is fired. Painting could involve using acrylic on bisqueware or underglaze on earthenware, bisqueware, or glazeware, then firing it.
Hi thank you so much! Just a question: i have been carving my vases, and now they are already bisque fired. So if i put a white or clear underglaze in the carved áreas, wash the surface, then can i put a darler glaze on top? Will it appear the white underglaze under a black glaze later after firining?
So was that white you added after firing once an underglaze too on the last technique ? And sorry if I missed wa Were the colored glazes on top of that white also underglaze or regular?
Hi. Really good video on underglazing. I'm wanting to do sgrafitto using a black underglaze. Can you paint over the whole pot with coloured glaze after its bisque fired so the white areas are coloured without the colour glaze affecting the black areas? Or will i have to paint the coloured glaze into the white areas with a thin brush and paint the black areas with a clear glaze?
you'd need to paint the coloured glaze into the white areas and put clear glaze over the black - or dipped or poured over the whole piece once the coloured glaze is dry, as long as it's not too high in iron. iron-rich glazes will contaminate your clear glaze when they meet. iron is very friendly like that.
Brilliant video, thanks so much! I love the majolica technique. What is the difference between using a white glaze and a white tin glaze? I wondered if the amaco underglazes work better with one? Thanks for the informative video.
so... just to be clear - I dont have to fire my underglazed pieces before adding the clear coat? I wasn't sure if it would need that bisque firing before adding the clear coat.

Hi, I've had some difficulties with my under glaze crumbling and crawling back on some pieces. It's like it hasn't adhered properly to the leather-hard clay, and it lifts during firing. I applied it, two or three thin coats at leather hard. Some colours (a lot of black) didn't bisque fire well, and others didn't fire well under the transparent glaze. I bisque to 1000 then glaze to 1040. What am I doing wrong? Someone told me that the clay should be pretty dry to pull in the underglaze if applied prior to bisque. Others have said it crawls if it's applied too thickly, yet your rainbow application had many damp coats and adhered just fine. Any advice? Thanks.
Sounds like you need some fruit in your underglaze to help it flux. Was it commercial premixed underglaze? Most commercial underglaze are suitable for all stages of clay including leather hard, bone dry, bisque fired and high fires. Some aren’t suitable for high firing (though that doesn’t sound like your firing) and burn out, so I’d check the label.
@@jesciahopper thanks for the reply, i haven't worked with under glaze (i'm new at this) but i plan on trying some of the things you showed in the video... Thanks!
Hi! Thank you very much for this video. It is very instructive. What happens if we put white colored underglaze on the dark red glaze? I want to draw some spots on the dark red glaze but I want the spots seen clearly.
"It's the same as painting!" You say that, but I used underglaze earlier this year to paint a ceramic vase I had made? It came out of the kiln and it was entirely BLUE. Just different shades of BLUE. Turns out, certain underglazes are....a little more powerful than others once you start heating them up. Yes, I did mix my underglazes...yes, I did use a lot of royal blue. It's still a very nice vase, but the goal wasn't to submit it to the Blue Man Group. XD
Really clear & very interesting demo, but a few technical filming problems that could be easily fixed on your next video! 1) Audio could be a bit louder,...thank goodness for closed captions. 2) Panning in on the technique would help actually seeing what you're doing. 3) The camera is too far away! 4) Your lights should be in front of you shining on the work, because your body is throwing a shadow on your demo examples. 5) Loved that you fired the examples & showed us the finished effects,...very good!
Can underglaze be painted on bisque followed by transparent glaze instead? Is there any risk to this? Or is it better to separate the firing for underglaze and transparent glaze?
You can do either. Most, not all, of the duncan range are specifically for bisque, but many of the other ranges can be used on bone dry greenware. I think its the EZ and Cc range that can go on both. The amaco watercolour palettes work well on greenware and won't suffer from the impurities as they burn off in a bisque fire. Most GW - UGs can also go on bisque. You just need to be a little more careful as applying the UG to GW can cause it to absorb more water and crack or break.
The velvet underglazes will be food safe if you use a clearcoat on top. The clearcoat top glaze is a glass type of glaze that seals the vessel while underglazes are clay based so they stay porous used alone without a glass type of glaze overcoat.
Thank you commenting that the spelling had been "americanized". Made me sad... we should be respectful of the language, including spelling, of other cultures.
Thank you! I think you’re the only one who actually showed the finished product!!!
Thank you!!! Glazing is anyway an extra chapter in ceramics, and not an easy task!!! I love your teaching style!
You are a great teacher! Thank you! This is a great video, No frills, just the basics! Loved it!
Liked that you named each technique. Thanks for this.

Wow...cant wait to see the first 100 videos now. Thanks...loved your presentation...I learned a lot.
This video is awesome. You are so well spoken and couldn't have been more effective in teaching us the information you shared. Please do more!! Thank you so much
This is a very helpful guide. The comparison make it clear and straightforward. Thanks!
Thank you for this video! Feeling very inspired by all the different techniques, going to have to get my hands on some underglaze ASAP!
as a painter trying to get better at ceramics (and bring my painting/painting style to my ceramic practice), thank you so much for this
THANK YOU. Perfectly explained and very useful!
Lovely lovely presentation! Thank you for sharing✨🙏🏻🌸💐
This was great. To the point, AND you showed after firing too! So many videos out there don't show the end result. So weird. Anyways - thank you!
Thank you for all this knowledge. Wonderful!
In all sincerity, I can't decide if I should show this to my students with "sgraffito" spelled incorrectly or not. It's a great video. ...
What's the worst thing that can happen when they see someone's spelling mistake? In all sincerity, I think you should evaluate your priorities.
What a beautiful colors of glaze and underglazes you use could you recommend what type of it you use and burning temperature for bisc and ceramic. Thanks a lot I didn't knew transparent technique, all of them are really cool.
This is good! Thanks for this video! Super helpful!
Great video - and thanks for showing the fired product !
Helpful to the newbie potter - thank you - always more understandable than reading an instruction book!
Great tips! And I’m loving your personality! 👌🏽✨🔮
You are awesome madam.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing painting technique.
Keep it up👌👌👏👏

Thanks a lot. Very useful video for beginners.
This was EXCELLENT So well done and super helpful. Thanks so much.
Thank you for demonstrating various techniques with the finished piece!
Love this, thank you for sharing!
I'm very excited to try the rainbow layering technique.
Great video, thank you so much for posting!
Thank you for the video! Is the last technic food safe since the underglaze is over the glaze? Cheers!
……. great video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for teaching.
Excellent video...
Great video, thanks!!
Ty so much for this video. Very cool techniques
Wow great idea's thanks 😊
This is really beautiful!!! I have a question - can you do it with mid or high fire clay and shouldn't clay be bisque fired before glazing?

Thank you for sharing! Helped me a lot.
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing! I do have a question, what kind of glaze did you put down first for the maiolica method? Was it just a regular mid-fire white glaze?
I used a low fire white. there are glazes made specifically for majolica, but this works just fine for student use.
Thank you for the very helpful video, and I am wondering if I can ask you a question, after you glaze your stuff, have you baked it or not?
Thanks 🙏
Super helpful! Thank you! :)
I was wondering if I do the inlay in a dark brown for example on the bottem interior of the cup and then pour + dip with a lighter brown. Will I still see the lettering? Very scared to just have them disapear.
This is a great video! Thank you!
I love this video! Thank you so much!
Then do you fire it to the bisque or glaze cone temperature?
Awesome video. Thanks
Is it best to do underglaze on leather hard clay before its been bisque fired?
parabens gostei muito do seu trabalho muito bonito
so helpful....thank you so much

what underglazes are you using please or did you make the colours
So was that white you added after firing once an underglaze too on the last technique ? And sorry if I missed wa
Were the colored glazes on top of that white also underglaze or regular?
What kind, or brand of clear-glaze did you use? I'm new to using underglazes
Thanks for the tips!
Great Job!!!
Could tell me please that what's this glazing material and type of paint you used
Hello ! Nice Work!😄
👍. Good video. Lot info. Thanks. 😉
Excellent! But i have always been under the impression that you can't fire wet clay. Oh well, I learn something new most every day!
You definitely CAN'T fire wet clay! It would explode! There was a lot of time lapsed between the fired and unfired clay in the video.
I am a bit puzzled, is this underglaze or engobe (clay/water/pigment)?
Thank you ❤
Thanks u their cool tips
Awesome

@@Liloldliz Thank you. That's very helpful
@@keeleysmith2039 you're welcome, happy potting!
Thanks!
For majolica...do you paint a layer of clear glaze over everything (as the final step)?
If the underglaze application is thin enough, you shouldn't need to. It soaks into the glaze.
I tend to get a lot of shivering with my sgraffito. Any tips?
so, if I'm understanding this correctly, you did not bisque fire but went from leather hard straight to glaze fire?
I definitely bisque fired!
Brilliant video, thanks so much! I love the majolica technique. What is the difference between using a white glaze and a white tin glaze? I wondered if the amaco underglazes work better with one? Thanks for the informative video.
Thanks for the video . 😉
What temperature is low-fire clay?
Thank you !👍
ME ENCANTO MIL GRACIAS
Did you put clear underglaze on the pieces? Or clear regular glaze?
Clear regular glaze. I don't believe there is such a thing as clear underglaze!
wait i’m confused i thought underglaze goes on pieces that have been bisque fired?
so... just to be clear - I dont have to fire my underglazed pieces before adding the clear coat? I wasn't sure if it would need that bisque firing before adding the clear coat.
It's possible, but I would recommend firing them before adding the clear coat - it tends to smear if you glaze directly over underglaze!
@@jesciahopper fantastic! thank you so much for your reply!
what type of paper do you use for the transfer :)? I heard "news print"?
Yes, newsprint is correct - it's basically blank newspaper!
Great content and instruction ..it's.. sgraffito though not scraffito
wiki says it can be either.
"Sgraffito (Italian: [zɡrafˈfiːto]; plural: sgraffiti; sometimes spelled scraffito)"

What glazes are you using? What cone are you firing to?
The underglazes are Amaco Velvet Underglaze, and I use Amaco LG glazes. They were fired to cone 05.
I don't want to be rude but thought you'd want to know that the correct spelling is 'sgraffito' :)
Was thinking that also..
who cares! This is a great video.

Will the maiolica sag on the side of a cup or does it stay put?
I have never experienced maiolica sagging. The only reason it might is if you put too many coats of glaze underneath the underglaze and it runs.
@@jesciahopper thanks for the reply, i haven't worked with under glaze (i'm new at this) but i plan on trying some of the things you showed in the video... Thanks!
What glaze you are using ?
where do you get colored slip??
You add mason stains to white slip

It will probably work. Depending on the glaze, it may be a little spotty, but it should show up.

If you paint glaze directly over underglaze, it will smear. It's best to fire between the two.
That's strange we paint underclass on bisque fired things
