That was fascinating! I will be processing ash from my wood stove as soon as it gets a little warmer. Your tutorial was just what I needed. I love the simplicity of the recipe, and it is great that I can have 1/3 of my glaze from a byproduct I already have. Thanks so much!
This was an interesting and inspiring video. I'm sure it showed up in my feed because I saved some clay from digging post holes. I worked hard to get it out might as well see if I can do anything with it. Found a great ancient pottery channel. The clay is still drip drying or perhaps it's called maturing, I know nothing about this. I'm a bit of a junk artist and the idea of making pottery glaze from waste ashes and maybe using the clay from my post holes. That's almost too good to be true. I'm off to watch more of your content.
I am behind using ash from the barrel firerings. I loved some of the results on the rims with the other glazes. Can't wait to see it with the ability to melt at a lower temp. Yeah!
Thanks for the video! Here's a tip for adding limited water - use a sponge. Put it in the water first. Then you squeeze it slightly above your tube and add a drop or two to get the desired weight. I use a sponge for painters, it's on a wooden stick and has round shape.
What beautiful result. I think it depends on the tree species. Example mulberry that is rich in calcium will have certain look vs birch trees. But really beautiful.
Just found your channel via YT autoplay, Mikkel, and I'm so very pleased about that!

Hey, I thought your video was very interesting. I recently refined some clay from my backyard, and I have been trying out pottery in a pottery kiln I bought. I am going to try to make ash glaze with different compositions. I am going to try clay + ash + one of the following: egg shells, chalk, baking soda, and borax. I'm trying to see if I can glaze a pot with just materials found at home. Thanks for your video!
Outstanding information in this video! I thoroughly enjoyed this. And the results at the end were wonderful! Thank you very much for all this detailed information. Very generous of you. I look forward to trying this for myself. That floating blue with the Temmeku gold is a real winner. Thank you!
The folk art glaze at the end reminds me of the colors used on the ikd cave paintings left by native americans, and i can totslly see doing a pattern as such with that glaze
Bless 🙏🕉 Thanks for so good structured and clear information. Have been looking for ash glazing for a while and here it is 🎉 What is the lowest temperature of firing for this glaze recipe?
Hi. Thanks for your reply to my question about the word”zenite “ . In the video, at approximately 10:47 you mention that you are going to use the same ingredients in the recipe that you “used before”. I just need clarification on what the ingredients are as I was unable to understand a few words. Thanks for your patience in this matter. I am really enjoying your videos. Very informative and entertaining as well .
Loved this as I do have a lot of ash from pit firing. the only thing is that I have an electric so it is very important to not put salt into your pit fire as that salt will be in your ashes and do damage to your kiln. ( can you please make the music a bit softer as it was quite loud in this video. thank you, Mikkel) You had a lot of ash. I find it's very light and it would take a lot so I wish I had been keeping the ash from past firings, I'll keep it in a bucket from now on thanks to your great tutorial. (love your purple shirt, Mikkel!!! :-) I dip my glazes so could I dip in the glaze if I mix it to pouring cream? Looking in the kiln before it's ready to fire is exciting and amazing. I can't wait to see how it turns out. OH MY GOD, I have been writing parts of this comment as the video has been going and the results are gorgeous. Absolutely loved this video so thanks heaps.
Mikkel, my question to you is about your choice of the number in your specific gravity calculation. When should that number change and when or why would other ratios and or other ingredients or additives affect your desire for greater or lesser weight/ density? beautiful work ❤
It depends on the kind of glaze and application. If sprayed in have to be a bit thinner. Some glazes need a thick layer - and a thicker glaze, som a thin layer. It all depends on the glaze. A SG around 1.40 to 1.45 is often a good starting point
Thanks - I glaze fire to sort of a cone 6. So it's set to 1220 C with a very short hold. So it may actually be a little bit above cone 6 in the end :-)
In my opinion, the music is not necessary when you are speaking. I only want to concentrate on your voice and what you are saying. The music at the end when you are showing the pictures of your pots is nice. I especially liked the bowl with the floating blue and the ash glaze on the rim. Really, I loved the way all of the pots turned out! Very good work!!!
Thank you for demonstration wonderful experiment with ash glazing! How do you think if it will go well if colorize ready ash glaze within different pigments or commercial glazes? Will it change its grey color? And other question on what temperature you fire your pieces? I mean max t? Thank you a lot, you are cool potter master!
Thanks a lot :-) I never did, but I assume you can mix in stains or oxides in the glaze to change the color. Just be aware, that some colorants also change how the glaze reacts. For example Cobalt makes it more runny. This glaze actually gives a very nice green color when applied on top of some of my other glazes. I used it (although not quite enough) on my recent Fermenting Crocks. There is a video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/IvSBMO1B0Jo/v-deo.html
Yes, if your ash glaze is applied thick enough and fully melt it will be as water proof as any other glaze. But I mostly use it on top of other glazes to add some variations to colors.
Thanks for this video. Is it possible to know which floating Blue recipe you use? Do you think it could be possible to add oxyde directly in the hash glaze?
The one I use is close to the one OldForge have a recipe for, with Manganese instead of RIO. Adding pur oxide - not in a wash may be too much. But try :-)
Thanks :-) You probably need a completely different recipe. You can find many on Glazy.org or in books dedicated to ash glazes. I just use this because it works well for me
Hello l have a old backyard furnace l am thinking to make it into a wood fired pottery kiln.. l am guessing the highest temperature would be glowing Orange? Would these glazes work? Or ls the temperature too low ? Thankyou for your time ❤
Thank you for this great video. Could you please let mit know the recepy of the ashglaze, I could not understand it becaus of the music or mask. Thank‘s a lot.
I wondered if the pots at the bottom so I'm not sure it got to temperature down there and it might be good to have some cones in to see what work was done by the kiln before you changed the formula for the ash glaze
Hi Mikkel, I was wondering are you able to make an ash glaze with just silica and ashes? I've heard of using clay into the glaze, but when I tried the 50/50 ash and clay, the glaze did not come out the way I liked, so I saw this video, but I'm not sure where I can get the third component mentioned in the video.
Did you ever find a way of doing it without the need to purchase exotic additives? I want to make a glaze using only what I can source locally, directly from nature. I don't even care about how it looks in the end; just wanting a way to make the pottery waterproof (I'm making vessels to store water in, so want to avoid even a slow leech).
24:00 a trick that I've seen before, might ve a little less of a hassle for you, people use those big plastic syringes with a ml count on the side. they tare the scale for the weight of the syringe and then fill it to the 100ml mark then measure the SG. its just much easier to handle a syringe rather than that tube of yours because it already has the measurements off the bat and it's easier to add/remove substance
Oh no Mikkel! Where is the big bowl with ash glaze on the wavy rim? :-( I am as excited and happy as you were when the pots and bowls came awesomely well! Just a couple of questions, was the white at the bottom of the bowls came from the floating blue or Heath A2 white? Also did you make the Tenmoku Gold with John Britt's recipe and perhaps will you demonstrate this recipe, pls? Many thanks!
Definitely some beautiful potery. But it seems to me as you open up the kiel to your surprise of color mix of what was fired was GOK (God Only Knows) the outcome.
The chemical of ash is salt, clean the fire ash and filter you will have crystals you can put in glaze, what do you think of spagyeric ash for medicine, i use it to make tinctures?
@@deMibPottery I guess the difference is washed for the salt for medicine, tinctures, I never heard of not washing, I make medicine but love the vessel so why I’m here.
You can spray the Ash Glaze on pots, it gives them a toasty look. See Simon Leach, however he didn't know how to mix the Temouka Glaze which is my favourite. Absolutely beautiful. I like Gas Firing. I don't really enjoy this method of pitfire., I feel sorry for the pots, they look like they have been murdered.😮❤
thanks a lot! I had a question though, i dont have access to feldspar or nepheline, nor do i have quartz. I do have some sand and my stoneware which are both high in silica, what if i mixed some calcium carbonate, the sand and ash and some clay for binding, made it a slurry, and used that? Would it be a viable low fire glaze?
I think ur Calcium carbonate would to lime when reduced and that could be an issue. It’d react with water, potentially explode the pot. Idk, try a sample.
A glaze have to fit the clay you are using. This one is made for stoneware. It may, or may not, work on some porcelain. You will either have to calculate or test that
I'm not sure if the music is just playing at your home or if you added it later as a background soundtrack. No objections to the song, but using it while you are talking makes it difficult to hear what you are saying for people with hearing issues. I just wanted to share that point of view, in case you hadn't considered it. I really enjoyed the video and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience. :-) Have a great day!
To measure specific gravity I have a 50mL syringe which I tare on the scales. Then I draw up 50mL of glaze and weigh it. Say this glaze weighs 70g then 100mL would be 140g and so SG=1.4
@@deMibPottery sorry but I couldn’t understand what was said. I thought you called it more than zenith? Not even sure if zenith is the right word. I think it was an ingredient in the ash glaze or was it something you put in or on the pot before you put on the foil. Thanks.

What is the lowest temperature of firing for this glaze recipe?
Thanks. I fire it to cone 6. Not sure it would melt out right much lower but could probably go up a couple of cones
Very nice… did you dip the pieces or sponge them on? I would love to see a video of how you apply the glazes… thanks so much 🌸
Thanks. I think I dipped these ones.
Suggestion: Get a litter scoop to work out some of the biggest chunks might shave off some time?
Good idea! :-)

Hi there new sub here! I'm also new to pottery. Where can I get that floating blue glaze and the temmoku gold? I'm in Canada 🇨🇦
I do not think you can buy them. You will have to mix them yourself. Recipies can be found at glazy.org
24:00 a trick that I've seen before, might ve a little less of a hassle for you, people use those big plastic syringes with a ml count on the side. they tare the scale for the weight of the syringe and then fill it to the 100ml mark then measure the SG. its just much easier to handle a syringe rather than that tube of yours because it already has the measurements off the bat and it's easier to add/remove substance

Have you ever used crushed and powdered eggshell in any of your slip mixtures? Just curious how it would react during firing.
No, but I used it in pitfire. Not much reaction though
i get the steel out with the magnet of an old stereo speaker. the charcoal pieces remaining in the sieve are good as coal.
Great ideas. Thanks :-)

A glaze have to fit the clay you are using. This one is made for stoneware. It may, or may not, work on some porcelain. You will either have to calculate or test that
I'm not sure if the music is just playing at your home or if you added it later as a background soundtrack.

I know. My daugter was in the garden that day playing music. Only noticed after I did the video but decided to share anyway :-)
Can i glaze earthware clay with ash glaze
I think so. I never work in earthenware. But you will have to adjust your recipe to the lower fire temperature
To measure specific gravity I have a 50mL syringe which I tare on the scales. Then I draw up 50mL of glaze and weigh it. Say this glaze weighs 70g then 100mL would be 140g and so SG=1.4
I know some use that method. I like the one I use and find it more precise. But both can be used :-)

@@deMibPottery sorry but I couldn’t understand what was said. I thought you called it more than zenith? Not even sure if zenith is the right word. I think it was an ingredient in the ash glaze or was it something you put in or on the pot before you put on the foil. Thanks.
