The Potters' Round Table

Welcome to The Potter’s Round Table, the topic today is What Glaze Recipes Can Tell You.

Want to get some idea of what a glaze might be like before you make it up? Glaze names and titles do not always accurately and completely describe the glazes. Once you have learned a little about common glaze ingredients, you can look at glaze recipes and often find clues about how the glazes will perform. This discussion reviews the three categories of glaze ingredients (fluxes, stabilizers, and glass-formers) and their various influences on glaze properties, and how we can predict some glaze properties by examining over twenty glaze recipes.

The Potters’ Round Table is a production of Washington Street Studios. As a result of the pandemic the Round Table is hosted as a YouTube livestream event and then edited to be added to our video library.

Welcome to The Potter’s Round Table, the topic today is An Introduction to Glaze Testing Part 2.

One way to learn how to fix problems with your glaze is to understand what each ingredient does and how it affects the final glaze. This mini-series on glaze testing will explore a simple glaze recipe and how to determine what part each ingredient in the glaze plays in the fired glaze result. Through a series of changes to the glaze recipe, focused on a single ingredient, we fire the different glazes and inspect the result in a process that can be repeated on any glaze recipe.

Math? And pottery? What is this, high school all over again? Well, no, but there are a number of occasions during the making of pottery that knowledge of some simple math calculations can be very useful, such as for preparing glazes or determining the porosity of fired ceramics.
