*Behind-the-Scenes: * Pottery Glaze techniques for beginners.
Dive into the enchanting world of ceramics with our behind-the-scenes showcase! Today, we’re transforming a Lowry-inspired hand-built footed bowl into a masterpiece, adorned with intricate hand-painted underglazes. 🎨
Crafting perfection starts with the glaze, a crystal-clear base glaze is the star, but the journey begins with a high-speed mix. No spills, just pure precision to ensure the perfect blend. 🌀
The glaze undergoes an 80-mesh sieve process, filtering out any coarse bits. In our Reel, you’ll spot these bits—destined for the sides of pots. Discarding them ensures a flawless, debris-free glaze surface. Cleanliness is our mantra! ✨
Now, the glaze is primed for its mission. Watch as we dip our creation for 3 to 4 seconds, ensuring a seamless coat. Beware of wet glazed areas; we handle with utmost care, placing our piece gently on the bench. 🏺
The grand finale? A fiery embrace in the kiln, reaching a scorching 1222°C or Cone 6. 🔥 Our bowl emerges, a testament to the harmony of pottery, glazing, hand painting, and hand building.
