Pour and Swirl Glazing; Creating a Marbled Glaze with Cone 6 Glazes!

Pour and Swirl Glazing - or more traditionally known as Marbled Glazing is a trendy technique where glazes are used with the intention of allowing them to run together and mix a bit to ultimately create a marbled effect.
Use these pointers to remember to increase your success.
Wet your piece beforehand
Use a combination of glazes with various characteristics- Use some glazes that are stable combined with some runnier glazes- with a FLUXING nature (That has a lower melting point, and helps to encourage runs)
Interior recommended- as exteriors could run and cause sticking
Thin very thick areas
When dry, rub any cracking to fill the cracks with dust to avoid the flaw of crawling
In this video, I am using Standard 225, a nice midrange firing tan stoneware. I am using Coyote white glaze, sapphire, and cobalt, and Laguna Moroccan Sand MS-15 Robin's Egg.

I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 32 years, the past 22 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; www.etsy.com/s...
I started my UA-cam channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently, especially with my semester ending “Pick A Passion” projects- see link here: • Pick A Passion Project
I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!
