I can not wait to use these tips when I make my projects for this semesters classes since this will be my last semester formally taking ceramics class I will stop in to get my projects finished I can not wait to really use the tips I have received to make amazing projects. Thank you Miss Ann🥰🥰😁
Great idea for pottery. When my daughter was small, we did this with shaving cream & food coloring. Then passing stiff paper over the design & let the paper dry. Made great note cards. Can't wait to try this with clay.
Thanks for the idea Harriet. I havent tried it with food coloring. I did do that something similar with inks with my son when he was little. I bet the food coloring was a lot less expensive, haha. have a great day!
Love the white against the color best with second up vote on the first one where you imagined patterns/story into the color. So much fun. Thank you for sharing. I've seen the shaving trick applied to a lot of art forms but this is a first on glazed pottery.
Aww...thanks so much. I appreciate your input! I had done this technique before too and have always wanted to see if there was a. way to control it a little more to enhance the marbling that I was getting. After I finished the video, I thought of a few more ways to do it. I may have to do a part 2 :-) Have a great day!
Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! Drawing is just a lot of practice really, right. I draw every day and each day I see progress. You can do it too 🙂
If I had to choose I would choose the painted flowers as opposed of the unpainted flowers but it still creates a relief cool look. I can’t show you pieces of my pottery because I don’t have a place to work right now, But I still really enjoy your videos and will one day be able to give all these things a try!
Hi Ann! What a fun experiment this week! I think I like the mug where you left the flowers unpainted even better than painted. It gives it kind of a mixed media feel. Oh how beautiful the landscaped piece with poppies turned out! Wow!
Hi Natalie! Thanks for sharing that. I was with you in the beginning but now the version of the cup with the painted flowers haas grown on me :-). You are right about the poppies and the landscape. I really am happy with that one....also did you notice your name at the end of the video as part of our team? Jim deemed you Director of Sponge Logistics, haha. Thank you again for your support!
This is so stunning and spontaneous.. love it! It's hard to understand why the Glazes don't wash off with the shave cream but I'll just have to try it and take my chances!!
@@harrietheller7039 Go for it Harriet and try it yourself!! The bisque is porous and quickly soaks up the underglaze. I was skeptical too, but se for yourself 🙂
I love both cylinders, I did try it. Not to good at it but I rewatched your video and I think I need to use more underglazed not as nice as I wanted it. So I'll just try and go over it another day.
What an amazing idea! Beautiful results. May I ask you if the black glaze you used to paint the lines is also underglaze, was it the same type of brand as the other glazes? I want try this with my students they will love it.
Hi Gary! Yeah! thanks for sharing it with your students. It is such a fun and easy way to decorate your pots. As far as the black lines go, I use small fingernail detailing brushes with black underglaze to brush those on. If the flow is right with the underglaze, it should go on like an ink pen. I like the Amaco Velvet blacks. They have great coverage and are smooth to use. As for the other glazes I use, the white glaze is one that I make myself and is a great liner glaze. The other colored glazes around the rims are various glazes like the green is from Spectrum and I cant remember who makes the blue. Cheers to you!
I just can’t say how absolutely brilliant you are!! Your creativity is outstanding and I literally can’t wait for your next videos each week. These are incredible!! Thank you SOO MUCH for sharing everything with us!! May I ask, we’re you able to roll more pieces into the already used foam full of glaze? It looks like you used sooo much glaze and it was killing me to see you do that! Lol
Hi Michele. Dont worry about wasting the underglaze. Actually as you can see in the video, it looks like a lot of underglaze but it is just little bits of underglaze (dots, drips and strips)...but a lot of shaving cream which made it look like alot). The underglaze I didnt use, I saved. Also, you can roll as many pieces i the underglaze you pour onto the shaving cream as you like. I did three different shaving cream pours for the experiment. I wanted to see what it would look like with little bits of underglaze versus a covering layer of underglaze.....so you dont have to :-). Give it a try!
@@annruel1982 Haha. Thanks! When you mentioned that you did 3 pours it made me think of what it would look like if you did a “pour” with the shaving cream and underglaze mixed a bit in a cup and poured it onto a surface!! Dang it I wish I had a few bisque pieces I could use! Maybe you can try that. There are so many paint and glaze pouring videos I just wonder if we could put a bit of a spin on it. Thank you Ann as always.
Love where your going with your work Ann😊I like the one painting with the flowers just plain not painted, I see where some your doing on green ware and also bisque 😊but wondering do you do a clear glaze on the whole piece or just the inside of the container and rim🌝I’m certainly going to give it a try♥️
Hi Linda!! I am so glad you like the techniques. You will really enjoy trying it. Really, the only thing I did for this video on greenware was to paint the underglazes on. then I bisque fired all the pieces. THEN I did the rolling in shaving cream. I wouldnt try the shaving cream and putting it under water in the greenware stage...too fragile. These were all just experiments and some I liked better than others. As for the outlined poppies where there were no color vs. color I wanted to see how far I could take it. I think if I had gone lighter on the underglazes, you would have liked the painted poppies more. With all the vibrant colors in the background plus on the poppies, it was a bit busy, but I still cant look away, haha. Try it!!!
I’m going to give is a try, the reason I was asking about the green ware was, I’d like to give it a try with some cups but the handle would be a problem lol, also wondering did you glaze the whole piece after they dried from hosing them off❤️
@@Pottedlady Definitely not having the handles was a plus with the way I rolled the piece. You can just dip the piece down into the shaving cream at different angles and try that to avoid problems with your handles. As far as the glazing, it didnt take any time for them to dry. I glazed them right after they were decorated. go for it
Hi Erin. I didnt wait at all. I just rolled and the thirsty bisqued surface soaked up the underglaze as soon as I rolled it. I then put it right under the faucet. Give it a try and thanks for watching!
Hi Carolyn. I am only putting streaks of glaze on the surface of the shaving cream and then what I dont use for this method I will use on something else. Also, you can do many bisque pieces as you want with one application of the shaving cream and underglaze. For this experiment though I wanted to try different colors and I wanted to see how different they looked with heavy applications of underglaze vs. light applications of underglaze. You dont have to follow me. :-). Try it!
@@annruel1982 Thanks, Ann. I have marbled glaze before, but not with shaving cream. I was hoping you were not just using it once and tossing the rest out. I am so careful to use every drop of glaze. I teach kids’ classes and will use this technique with them. I love showing them lots of different ideas. Love your channel.
@@carolynpearce4829 I love working with the kids too. They re so creative. They will love this technique. thanks for watching our channel. have a great day!
Questing for you Ann: I also use the amaco velvet underglazes (and glaze with amaco's zinc free clear) but in my last firing, one of colors completely faded and it's never done that before. Have you encountered issues like that? Oh and of course the video is excellent. This technique comes out so beautiful in your hands.
Hi Em. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words. As for the underglaze fading out. I had that problem with the Amaco Rose underglaze a while back although they may have changed the formula for that underglaze as someone told me they had success with that color fired to cone 5. Other than that, if I were you, I would either ask the question in one of the online pottery groups and see if anyone else is having trouble or I would call the company and ask if they had any advice for you. Sorry about your troubles.

I absolutely loved the dramatic poppy mug. ❤️
That third one in particular was beautiful!
Your artistic skill with this media is amazing! They all turned out so well. Who would have guessed "shaving cream!" Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Surprised, didn’t think it’d like but I like the final piece! Love the one with the glazed flowers with color!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing that with me and thank you so much for watching. I hope. you give them a try!!
Love it all so much. I like the outlined flowers painted rather than plain.
Wonderful! thanks so much for sharing that with me Bea. I didnt think i would like it either, but it has become one of my favorites . give them a try!
Ann all you videos are great for tips and tricks, all were great but my favourite had to be the poppy mug at the end. just beautiful x
Ann your knocking it out of the park again
Yeah! Thanks so much Mirinda!! I am so glad you like it!

Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! Drawing is just a lot of practice really, right. I draw every day and each day I see progress. You can do it too 🙂
Once again, you've elevated a simple technique to a new level. How wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much Kathleen for watching and the kind words!! Give it a try!
Oh my goodness! I really need to have the first piece (the water scene), in my home to look at every single day!!!
You blow me away girl! Best shaving cream results that I have seen .
Yeah!! Thanks so much Joan! I really appreciate that!! Have a great day!
I like the flowers painted in the best. Thank you for this video💕
Hi Jeana! Thanks for sharing that! Have a great day!

Very nice! I really like the last one with the poppies! Thank you Ann for sharing your ideas.
HI Barbara!! Yeah!! My pleasure. I think you will enjoy playing with this!
I always enjoy seeing your thoughtful industry. Such nice results!
I love everything you do, but I loved the “painted poppies” design very much.
Yeah! Thanks so much!!! Im glad you liked it! Give it a try!

@@LittleStreetPottery awww, thanks
Wow, these are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
I love all the mugs made with the shaving cream. I especially love the poppy’s. Your videos inspire me, thank you. I am a potter myself.
Thanks for this fabulous and inspiring tutorial on a new way to use underglaze to add interest to my pottery. You and your team are awesome.
Always top-notch and beautiful work. The teaching isn't bad either!
Haha. Thanks Rosanne!! thats very sweet!
My favorite was with the red painted flowers but all were beautiful
Thanks Traci!!! I cant take my eyes off of that one either, it is so brilliant. I appreciate you sharing!!

@@walkerpottery9296-Natalie Thank YOU!!! 🙂
I love the bold colors
Hi Rachael!! Thanks so much!! Different colors lend themselves to different looks. You can do subtle or dramatic easily
Great tips. Loved your finished pieces, too.
Ann, I like all of the pots.
Yeah!!! thanks so much Linda!!
I learn so much from you. Thank you! -Jan
Absolutely love these and esp the poppies!
Hi Joan!! After I did these, I thought of so many more design choices I could do with these. Maybe I should do a part 2, haha. Give them a try
So talented Anne. I just love your videos
Hi Jackie! so good to hear from you. Thanks so much!! You should try this method :-)
You're an awesome artist!
I love your work so much. Thank you. ❤
Those are amazing. I’m more stunned at your creativity every time you put up a video!🐝🤗❤️

This is so stunning and spontaneous.. love it! It's hard to understand why the Glazes don't wash off with the shave cream but I'll just have to try it and take my chances!!
I was wondering the same thing.
Hi Yehudit. It is just that the bisqueware is so porous and thirsty that it soaks it right up. I didnt wait for it to dry or anything. Try it!
@@harrietheller7039 Go for it Harriet and try it yourself!! The bisque is porous and quickly soaks up the underglaze. I was skeptical too, but se for yourself 🙂

Hi Malisa! Thanks for watching the video. Im glad you like it!! I didnt let it dry. I just went for it and ran it under the water. Give it a try!!!

will this work with any underglaze? matte vs glossy finished ones like stroke and coat. Thank you for the video.
Do you have to use under glaze? Would a combination of regular glazes work? Thank you for sHaring your amazing techniques and art,
Not tried it with other mediums...yet :)
I have a question about rinsing off the shaving cream. How do you prevent the glaze from washing away too? Thanks! Love these. They are beautiful!
The glaze will stay - it grabs onto the clay pretty quickly!
How long after rolling did you wait to hose off the shaving cream? Why didn't the underglaze come off? I washed underglaze off bisqued pieces before.
Hi Erin. I didnt wait at all. I just rolled and the thirsty bisqued surface soaked up the underglaze as soon as I rolled it. I then put it right under the faucet. Give it a try and thanks for watching!
How do the underglaze colors stay on when you rinse them? I would think they would wash off. Thanks!
Hey Dar! The bisqued pottery is just so porous, it soaks up the underglaze. Once the underglaze is on the bisqueware, it is ON there. 🙂
For the 3rd poppy one, did you paint the poppies with underglaze before firing, then refire after the marbling before finally glazing? So 3 fires??
I paint on greenware - then bisque, then high fire. 2 fires.
Do you let dry the mug before removing the shaving cream ?
I am afraid to remote all the colour …i am sorry i just read the same question just below….
😍😍😍😍
Hose are beautiful.
Did you let it dry first or rinse right away
Hi Heidi. No drying time required. Just roll and rinse. go for it!
@@annruel9142 thank you going to try it on some salad bowls I'm making
How does the glaze not come off when you rinse it?
HI Heather. the bisque is very porous and soaks up the underglaze quickly. Give it a try and see.
I can't believe the underglaze doesn't all hose off :0
Are you only putting one pot through the marbled glaze? Seems like a lot of glaze is wasted.
Hi Carolyn. I am only putting streaks of glaze on the surface of the shaving cream and then what I dont use for this method I will use on something else.

Hello
I want to try to decorate this way, but I am throwing in stoneware. Can I use this tecnique on stoneware?
sure! many use stoneware to do this. Good luck!
How long before you rinse the shaving cream?
Right away!
Can you roll more than one piece in the same shaving cream?
Yes, but the lines tend to get blurrier with each roll. Good luck!
