I love this sweet glaze combo because it shows how you can use Amaco and Mayco glazes together with fabulous results. The Cherry Blossom Celadon is one of my favorites to use on textured pieces and goes perfectly with the Mayco Celadon Bloom and Mayco Light Flux. The Mayco flux is the key element to making all of the glazes come together and blend beautifully.
This is such a happy sunny glaze combo. I love pairing the Frosted Yellow with the Blue Hydrangea and light flux to make a sweet yellow and purple blue combo. Frosted Lemon can be lovely on texture as long as you only apply a few thin layers. The flux is the key to making all of the glazes come together and blend beautifully.
This Mayco glaze combo is a stunner and one of my favorites. I like to call it my starry night combo. The Blue Opal is a great glaze to use on texture but is also wonderful on non-textured surfaces as well. I’ll show you how to combine blue opal and night moth in this online glazing class.
Spraying on glaze is a great way to get even glaze coverage and is the best way to glaze really large pieces with dip and pour glazes. You can create beautiful layered effects and create seamless transitions from one glaze to the next.
Using an airbrush to apply underglaze (or glaze) is a great way to add color and patterns to your pottery. It also is one of the easiest ways to create gradient color or the ombre effect. This technique can be used for glaze as well, but I find it better suited to underglazes.
Underglaze or glaze test plates are a great way to create a visual reference for your underglazes or glazes. This plate design has 24 scallops on the edges which makes it perfect for testing out 24 different colors.
I first saw test plates like these at the Sevres Ceramic factory in France. They have used this style of plate for centuries to test out glazes, underglazes, overglaze enamels (china paints) and lusters.
These plates are designed to hang on a wall so that you can quickly see examples of all of your underglazes/glazes.
