I love the movement from Lumos! I’ll have to give it a try during my next round of glaze tests. I love Amaco glazes, but I refuse to buy C-10 because I can make just about any basic opaque white glaze for cheaper and get the exact same effects. People would rather cry and wait months for restocks before they give homemade glazes a try 🤷♀️
I was under the impression that Snow was meant to mix with the other Celadon glazes to create different tints. I don't believe it was designed to be a sort of "flux" type glaze.
I think your thinking of C-11 which says on the bottle "mixing glaze" Alternatively you can mix any of the Celadons from the amaco line. I think they have a test tiles on the website for the specific scenario as well. I had a small campaign showing people how to do so.
@@EarthNationCeramics The mixing clear is also used to make the Celadons more transparent and you can also use it as a clear glaze. I'm not confusing it with Snow which is to lighten a Celadon. I know you can mix all of the Celadons together for custom colors and the Snow would allow even more choices in making custom colors. I've also seen others put a Celadon (Storm I think) OVER the Snow and get an oil spot effect that looked pretty good.
I have put it over obsidian and it makes an almost blue spotted color. Very cool. Also over Firebrick red it reminds me of the old fashion metal buckets or cups.
@@sondrabecchetti4612 even if it's not meant to be used that way it seems like people are only using it as a topper glaze and not a mixing glaze. Done three separate episodes on this glaze where I mix them, layered them different ways with different glazes. I did everything but mix the actual liquid together. This seems to be the most popular way that people want me to use it 🤷♂️
I only use C10 (snow) as a canvas. 3 coats if brushing, it is the perfect backdrop to paint on using underglazes or oxide washes. If I use my dipping glaze it is somewhat powdery so difficult to paint on but C-10 once applied is perfectly dry and does not budge. It draws the underglazes in so they too are glassy
One thing I have to say for C-10 is it's consistent. Sure, it's a one-trick pony, but if that's the effect you're looking for at least you'll know you will get it over seemingly any glaze. The Lumos offers too much variation to give the same guarantee (though that's also it's strength), say to a Pride rainbow set of cups tied together with the white oil spot effect on top.
@@EarthNationCeramics Oh how awesome! Thanks!! Do you have a video on the general ingredients one needs to make glazes and then go from there? If not I think it would help a lot of people!!
I would love for you to do an ancient copper video. But Ancient Copper at different cones, holds and cooling. Ancient copper changes a lot depending on how it's fired. For me Ancient Copper is best at medium 6 cone, top shelf near the element, 10 minute hold at the top and then turn of the vent (don't open the peep holes either) let it cool naturally down to 150F. When I fire ancient copper this way I get beautiful crystal effects. I prefer using Ancient Copper as a single glaze it doesn't layer well for me. I'll give you credit for testing snow all these different times. I'm bummed because I've been trying to find snow and Alpha hasn't had it when I had been there so you took my bottle of snow and now I'm sad. 🤣😂 It's okay because I really want to try making my own glazes and Lumos might be the first one I try. It is stunning over cosmic tea dust. I didn't like snow over cosmic tea dust. That snow fall texture your Lumos glaze gets over cosmic tea dust is just gorgeous it makes me understand why your don't like snow. You don't need snow you have Lumos.
More of a technique question: I've used dip/bucket glazes my whole time and am just starting to try commercial brush on glazes for some non-studio color options...does pouring in/dumping out go on pieces too thick? Or do you do anything to jar glazes for dipping/pouring, or is it straight from the jar as is, as made?
Im no expert but from what i have seen and what Dante has said the bottle glazes have filler in them to kssp the ingredients in solution. Pooring on the bottel glaze is like 1 or two heave coats of dip and poor glazes.

Wait! I have C-11 I wanted to see the cups 😅 I thought I just hit the jackpot in getting to watch c-10 get shamed 3 times and get a glaze review I need 😫
I've done a mass test of snow under a variety of glazes and it definitely also displays other behavior - subtle cracking under Seaweed, Chun Plum, and some other celadon glazes, texturing with Shino glazes, and no interaction with some other celadon glazes. Maybe your testing method needs revision?
I think the thing with c10 is that if you only buy brush on glazes, anything that oil spots is super rare and exciting. That said… looking at those tests, I guess I am finally going to have a bash at this whole making glazes malarkey. It is time. Is Lumos a good one to try first do you think?I loved your tenmoku gold pieces too, but that seems a bit trickier on application and firing? Thanks as ever for the inspiration and keep well.
I would suggest making a clear and learning to weigh out your water as an ingredient so you know the gravity of your glaze before trying the more complicated ones like tenmoku gold or Lumos.
Hi! Would you consider doing a review of textured amber brown? I've seen some psychedelic combinations with this glaze and I wondering if they can possi fly be real...
I want to start using the pouring method for glazes, usually for the outside, I already pour my glazes for the inside. What bucket do you recommend I get. Will the glaze stick to the inside? I want to conserve as much excess glaze as possible.
If you're going to pour you should just do it straight from the bottle but if you are going to dip with tongs you want a 5 gallon bucket from Lowe's or any hardware store.
I did a few other tests with the same glaze on a bowl and it didn't bubble like that. I think that one was just I misfire or something but they were both in the same load. I also have the same exact color and oil spot textures so it's not like it would have mattered even
Most glazes would look different if they were thinner and had water added to them although for purity of the tests I always open a new fresh bottle and don't add water till after.
Naw. It's just. Lear. It the C line from amaco is able to "mix" with other glazes. But no one does that. Most devices use them as a base. The only one that's really good at fixing other glazes or later it seems to be c-10. Most of the others are just a clear base with a single colorant
Do an Ancient Copper test video please!
“Ooopsie doodle” that’s gotta be the best line from this whole video! Now let’s put c-10 on the shelf behind some other glazes and forget about it.
Now, your mission is finding a ready-made white glaze with similar characteristics to your lumos! Thumbs up if anyone agrees.
At least if you didn't like the video at least you got three more combinations for your c-10 ;)
I literally can’t even imagine being able to go into a store and buy my supplies!!!
I mean.... C-11 says "CLEAR" on the bottle LOL!!! Kidding Great video as always. Thanks!
The absolute shade for c-10 at the start of the video 🤣.
For real though, so glad we don't have to have this conversation again. 😅
So the ancient copper + C10 looks a lot like you some how froze a beer just after being poured and pulled it out of the glass.
I prefer the lumos in every application to the c-10. Thanks Dante for creating that glaze. One of my favorites!

I forgot how much I've missed your videos. I think I'm going to have to binge watch some of your older ones.

My jaw literally dropped when I saw your Lumos glaze over PC-64. 🤩
Love the lumos over cosmic tea dust. Thanks for a fun comparison video.

Lol Mixing Clear Is a clear Glaze!!!! This video was awesome.

Fool me once, you glaze your plates.
Fool me twice, uhh we can call it a tie.
Fool me a third time, now we are both just wasting glaze.
Thanks for the view.
Not such a waste after all ;)
Love your glaze tests! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the test Again. and thank you for now being done with C-10. Hey, that rhymed! Do I get extra credit?
My pick I liked Lumos over PC-64 the best, any day of the week on bowls would be great. I wish my high fired pottery comes out like this sometimes.
Sassy Donte is best Donte!
Great video. Thanks for doing all this testing.
Can you tell us the recipe for your lumos? I have never made a glaze but I might just try that one! It’s amazing!!
I always leave links to my glazy profile and anything you guys might need down below in the description.

I like the limos topper
Lumos was the winner on all of the tests IMHO
I love your lumose glaze much better than the snow
Wait! I have C-11 I wanted to see the cups 😅 I thought I just hit the jackpot in getting to watch c-10 get shamed 3 times and get a glaze review I need 😫

Cosmic tea dust is the bread winner

PC-64 Aventurine is labeled as “Not Food Safe”.

If you're going to pour you should just do it straight from the bottle but if you are going to dip with tongs you want a 5 gallon bucket from Lowe's or any hardware store.

Sooo, c-10 seems to be over fired with that spotty bubbly texture over stuff?
I did a few other tests with the same glaze on a bowl and it didn't bubble like that. I think that one was just I misfire or something but they were both in the same load.
I also have the same exact color and oil spot textures so it's not like it would have mattered even
Do you think it would be different if c-10 was thinned out a bit?
Most glazes would look different if they were thinner and had water added to them although for purity of the tests I always open a new fresh bottle and don't add water till after.
C11 has something? Maybe an opacifier and colorant?
Naw. It's just. Lear. It the C line from amaco is able to "mix" with other glazes.
But no one does that. Most devices use them as a base.
The only one that's really good at fixing other glazes or later it seems to be c-10.

The lumos+adventure time looks like French onion soup for some reason 🤔
Your lumos was fantastic!! Where's the recipe??
On my glazy profile. The link should be below.
@@EarthNationCeramics thank you Donte... I shop at alfa too.. I'm up in Grass Valley...
How did you even manage to FIND Snow??
Right???
Had to order it a month in advance just for this.
angry comment :C
Do you sell your lumos?
The glaze recipe is free. I don't sell my glazes I just make them for public use as long as people source me
@@EarthNationCeramics Thanks for replying! I love your work and your videos!
Pronunciation help...ADVENTURING is very close to AVENTURINE. Just saying.
Like going on a hike?
@@EarthNationCeramics yes. I use sub titles on videos, and when you pronounced the name, the subtitles misspelled it that way.
C-11 has no colour!!!
Most use it as a flux really.
Dante! You should sell your Lumos already mixed to peeps who don't have the studio capacity to mix raw material!!
