over the course of making and testing my own glaze recipes I realize that the high majority of you not only don't make your own glazes but most of you just buy the glazes. in light of that I decided to start a new section in the glaze playlist called glaze review. these videos are just going to be me taking Glazes off the shelf, testing them on different clay bodies and with other glazes and showing you how they work and give you my slight opinion on them.
I hope this helps many of you decide what glazes you would like to buy in the future.

@@EarthNationCeramics Duncan True Matte Glazes / Duncan Crackles Glazes - thank you :)
Celadon Jade c47
Such a pretty colour!!
Video suggestion for the future: how you package and ship your pieces. I’d love to see how you do this to prevent damage :)
I use commercial glazes. Mostly Amaco, also Coyote and Mayco. I have about a dozen of the Celadon line, including Weeping Plum, which I layer/pair with Amaco's Blue Rutile in the Potter's Choice line - which I think is similar to your floating blue. The resulting combination I call Pink & Denim, and it is a favorite at fairs! I get so many comments from people saying they rarely see pink on pottery, and they love it. One nice feature about the Celadon line is that you can mix and blend, as you might do with watercolor paints because they all have the same basic property. Buy a few different colors and experiment! I love playing with and layering all of the glazes to find new and interesting combinations! One favorite combo is to layer the Celadon Obsidian with the Potter's Choice Seaweed. It comes out a deep ocean-y blue with green! I'd be interested to see if you were to put the Seaweed over the Black you used in this vid, if you would get a similar result!
Also, in response to some of the comments, the instructions on the label for the Amaco glazes - both Potter's Choice and Celadon - are to apply two to three coats if brushing, one if pouring or dipping. On their website they encourage a generous application when brushing. When pouring or dipping, the application is going to be naturally heavier than from brushing, thus the one vs. two to three coats respectively. I typically brush my glazes; I routinely thin my glazes with water as needed, or, sometimes, to stretch the product (but you still have to make sure you have coverage.) I do not bother with the gum solution as recommended by Amaco - that is for suspension of the elements which can be accomplished by shaking the bottle periodically. Donte knows what he's doing, clearly!
Do you layer the weeping plum completely over the blue rutile on the outside and just the weeping plum on the inside? TIA
@@barbaraasa6333 No. Thanks for asking! I glaze the entire vessel with the Weeping Plum, and then layer the Blue Rutile over it only on the parts where I want the blue. For example, on a mug, I glaze the whole piece inside and out in WP, and then brush two coats of BR around the rim about 3/4" down, both inside and out, and I like to brush two coats on the top or outer part of the handle down about 3/4 of the length of it letting it drip a little.
@@barbaraasa6333 I've never tried layering the Weeping Plum on top of the Blue Rutile, only the BR on top of the WP...
This was awesome for a new potter! Looking forward to more like this. Love your channel!
This is the best new series idea. Great idea. I am going to tell everyone in my ceramics class!
I'm very happy you decided to show commercial glazes. I am one of those potters who does not mix their own glazes. This was very helpful. Thanks
Please do more. loved it.
Don't worry. It'll be an on going series ;)
@@EarthNationCeramics YIPPEEEEEE!
Thank you, old time watcher of your videos. love your channel ever!!!
Looove the glaze review Dante, thanks! Been searching for a nice pink, this is it!!!
Very helpful! Hope to see more, especially the combinations.Thank you.
I really like this new video format!
Thanks so much for testing on different clays
Yes! I love this!
Like the review of this glaze. I would like to see more reviews!
Awesome test!
Thanks for the video, good info on the glaze 👍👊👍
OMG I just bought this glaze and haven't used it yet! Cool
Loved the review, thanks
I like the glaze review please do more! I didn’t know you can use pouting techniques with the brush on glazes!
I too liked the tea cups with the texture best. I did notice that the label picture on the bottle appeared slightly darker pink than any of your samples. It was nice to compare the on screen color on the glaze bottle to your samples. I wonder what clay Amaco used for their sample. Look forward to more test.
Love this new segment! I use a lot of brush on glazes so this is great that you are going to review commercial glazes.
By the way you would love the pink of PC Cherry Blossom too.
I have been working at a local clay store/gallery/studio for about a month and a half now, and I have to admit that I have very little knowledge about clay and glazes and...well..pretty much everything about ceramics (I'm actually a painter and just graduated with my BA in painting & drawing). I always feel like I'm slowing down the store whenever customers ask about a certain glaze or what kind of clay body would work best for them, and I beat myself up for my lack of knowledge of ceramics and for being unable to provide an educated answer. But the reason why I applied to work there is because I have fallen madly in love with ceramics and want to eventually make it a full time thing. A good friend of mine gifted me a wheel yesterday, and since the first AND last time I ever threw anything was over two years ago, I had to look up a tutorial. And the first youtube tutorial video I watched was your video on how to center and hot DAYUM I have never hit a subscribe button faster than when I did for your channel. I have been watching your videos non stop since then and it has definitely boosted my confidence when working at the studio, and I'm even more excited to share all the things I've been learning just from bingeing your videos!
Quite the lengthy comment, but I guess I just want to say thank you for helping me through this new journey I'm embarking on in my career path, and I absolutely love your content.
Hi lovely story! I learnt to throw through utube videos too.
Just fyi...if you want to know more about the products in your shop, Matt katz of ceramic materials workshop does online courses on clays and glazes. There's an intro to glazes course.
I've just done the glaze chemistry course...you get 13 two hour on line lectures by Matt (world renowned ceramicist and co founder, I believe, of Glazy.org where donte gets some of his recipes I think)
Plus fortnightly live hangouts with Matt and all the other students from around the world
Plus 6 labs where you get to actually experiment with a glaze, get feedback and support from Matt, learn by doing about the materials that go into glazes and, here's the MASSIVE payoff (!!!) get to learn how to control your glazes so you can create what you want to create!
I was crap at chemistry in school but because of matt's approach I now am healthily obsessed with it...because the more I understand the more I can control the results.
Just fyi
Good luck
Heather Hughes Thank you so much!! I think I'll check it out 😁
I just used Weeping plum lightly brushed random strokes over 1 dip of glossy white, came out so sweet, pulled a lighter pink color with some raspberry shades too on a thrown mug. I love the transparency of the glaze as you can see texture and the white glossy underneath... neat effect.
Great video! Do more like this!
Super helpful, thank you!
Love it! Can't wait to see more, but next time put in all your pieces, please. Seeing that failed bowl is educational, too.
THANK YOU! i don't make my own cuz i don't have space to store the stuff let alone the mixed glaze...and it's expensive.
Omg, those ads were hysterical 😂😂 But I love this glaze. I use their celadons all the time, I layer them, mix them, and apply china paint over them. They are a fantastic glaze. Just have to do full 3 coats and they do start getting pale after cone 5.5 or so. By 6, a lot of the pink and yellow tones in the glaze color are gone.
Thank you for this! I love the glaze review. I use Amacos glazes on bmix cone 5 no grog and the weeping plum had this bone color come though, not so much white color so it didn’t seem as nice of a pink as your bowls did mine were more like a dingy dirty pink :/ I don’t dip the way you do, I brush it on and it was all streaky :( maybe I’ll try pouring it on the at your do and see if that helps?
Ohhhh!! More of these :D hahah (please)
You got it
Donte - well done! This is how a review should be done. One question: what cone did you fire to, 5 or 6?
Those “boogers” in your glaze are oolites. AMACO is having an issue with oolites forming in the Celadon line. If you notice them on the prefixed pieces, you can gently smooth them off with your finger. I sieve mine when I notice they’re getting bad.
Thank you! I had noticed those in a couple of the Celadons that I had had for a while. I finally sieved them - phew! Glad to know those little flecks have a name! I think Amaco has improved the formula to prevent those.
Linden Jenesse I heard rumor it had to do with the mineral content in their water and they are working on it...just a rumor though.
Your blue over the plum is terrific. When you used the plum alone, how many coats did you use? Such as on the outside of the chattered bowl.
Yooo love the jenna marbles type title
Love the review Donte! How much of the glaze did you use to glaze all those pieces? Was it the whole jar, or more?
I do like this type of review. I live the celedon glazes. However,one you pointed out, you have to put even coats and if something pops into it in the kiln, or there is a mark on the piece, it becomes noticable
LOVE the Groggy cup!!!! It's beautiful. Don't you be mean to it!!!!!
oh, I like this, this is super helpful
Could you review Amaco's Potters Choice, true Celadon please? Thanks!
Heyyyy ya, can you make this glaze and show us how you make it. It's soooo beautifullllllll beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ✨️ ❤️
Oh man your blue with that plum. wow. I cringed at you pouring a brushing glaze but I'm still stuck in studio share mode. XD
whats your recommendation of glazes for clay that has alot of grog in it?
Ahhh, that second look at the high gloss/pink oilspot combo, ouch I think I just... God, that was intense...
The colors are more vivid in the oven than the wood background. I hope next time I will review the pieces on a white background
Nope
Would it be possible to share your floating blue recipe? I've tried to make it and failed miserably
Can you do one for Crladon Jade c47?
You said you'd be adding them to your store but you gave no link for store Dante!
Hey big fan of the channel especially your pit fires. So this is off the topic of the video but, do you bisque you stuff for pit firings? Why or Why not?
Yes I bisque my pieces before I put them in the fire.
and it's mostly because the temperature raises so quickly that if you put greenware in there that usually explode.
You kind of have to bisque them first
Are you familiar with rice grain style and have you got any ideas for it ✨
You should add the bdz scream when you do the kiln burn
;)
So, when do we get to buy stuff from "the store"?!!!!
Let me be the first to start trolling on how you are using dip glaze techniques with a brush on glaze. (ducks)
I wanted to shout at him haha. They turned out very well
@@kswizzles2102 I do occasionally dip and pour Amaco glazes, especially to fill a bottle. That's more of a use-what-you-have-on-hand kind of thing. The only valid technical consideration that I know of is that because of the gum in the glaze, you might get an overly thick coat. It Wouldn't be a problem with a Celedon, but done of the runnier PC line glazes could make a real kiln mess of you aren't careful. The only real rule is don't try it for the first time on a piece you can't afford to toss out.
Love these glaze reviews! I do wish the music wasn't so repetitive. It got kind of annoying...
I pour PC glazes all the time, as long as I’ve tested it first and know which ones are prone to move a lot. For example, I don’t do it with Seaweed, because it crawls like crazy. Indigo Float, though? Sure. It gives me much more even coverage than brushing.
I pour all the celadons. They’re stable as all get out.
@@cgapeart I guess the other main issue might be...you're not applying it as the manufacturer suggests ie 3 brushed coats...therefore they woukd say it's not ''food safe'' Because you've not adhered to their instructions maybe...?. ..
However, I've recently learned that ''food safety'' is a misnomer for various reasons..but thats a wgole other subject that I won't bang on about here....
I would like to see the one that didn't turn out the way you wanted ; )
It's hard because these glazes are so damn stable
Piano giving me epileptic fits I can't take that noise lol
What’s up with the no kiln wash?
I don't use it on brand new shelves. In fact most of the work you see on my Instagram and CZcams videos are me not using Kiln wash. It seems they aren't as vital to my work
it is indeed a pity that broken ceramic can NOT recyclable; you could grind them up and use them to grit the driveway in the winter and that is about it.
I think the colour represents the blossom of the weeping plum tree - just saying
Thanks for doing these glaze tests for us. Those bottles of commercial glaze are usually formulated to brush on, not dip or pour. Since you didn’t brush on the glaze, did you do anything to thin it out before using it in your tests?
Use me up and use a glaze for a while I'll add a little water, but this time I did not because I wanted a true test.
You can safely assume it's three layers
@@EarthNationCeramics I am a fairly new potter, a little over a year. When I use brush on glazes to dip or pour, I end up with a lot of little pinholes. Ive put in suspend aid, yet still get lots of pin holes. Also, I noticed you glazed the bottoms of your cups. Did you put them on stilts when you fired them? Please help.
So, it's not that I hate the glaze but how do you see the light green as baby poop and this not as pepto??? LOL
Please don't play music or turn way down. I have a issue with my ears where the background is very loud. Maybe there are others with same problem. I love your videos otherwise.
Am i the only one who can’t stand celedon glazes? lol
organicallyhannah I’m not a huge fan of them on the outside of my mugs, the laguna bmix 5 I use leaves them with this dull- bone color showing through and it just looks like.. old pottery? Not cute. I usually only use the celedons on the inside of my mug. I mix half the color I’m using with half snow for the first coat so the glaze is not so translucent. Then I brush 2 regular coats of the celedon color of choice and that seems to remove the bone color from coming through and removes the streaky look from brushing it in the mugs.
For gods sake kiln wash your shelves. :)
... but those are new ... I.... Thats the first time iv ever used them....
No kiln wash tho, bro. You brave. I scared.
