hello potters, today we talk about Albany Slip Brown from the potters choice Lin Amaco pc-32.
this was one of my favorite glazes quite some time ago to go at aloha fired arts.
this video is a little bit different as you and I will essentially be fighting. on the right is my bowl where I usually poor my glaze on in a fashion much different from the way most people glaze. on the left are 3 bowls I'm which I will layer 2, 3, and 4 layers in order to see if I can get different results and to prove that my way is ultimately better and faster 😛.
please note that I do not think this test is ultimately conclusive but instead it's more of a demonstration of how I use my glazes versus how we are told to in regulation. if you would like me to try this experiment with another glaze please let me know in the comments down below.

Thank you SO much for posting this video. I'm a beginning hobbyist with limited funds. The process of buy the dry glazes and getting them mixed seemed like it would be a financial burden between the cost of dry glazes and then needing special equipment. At the same time, I was afraid to use my wet-bought glazes for dipping or pouring, and nowhere that I looked seemed to offer conclusive evidence that the results would be good if I tried. Your videos have reassured me this is a chance worth taking. Thank you so much!
I would love to see Blue Rutile. PC-20
I love your testing. Perfect !
MIND BLOWN!!!! Pouring my glazes from now on!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for posting these! I really enjoy them.
Thanks for your test, it really helps to see the difference.
Thank You!!! your videos are very helpful, I am a new potter and this is how i have been learning alot about glazing etc. you are also funny and it is very entertaining, thanks for taking the time to do the videos, much appreciated!!!
As a potter I commiserate, non-pros always think they have read or know more than your experience has taught you. I am new to all of this and you are the first and only potter I have subscribed to. Thanks
Thank you. This video can give a lot of answers to me very clearly!
Mind blown! Thank you for this.
Great channel! thanks for doing these tests. I have been using Amaco PC for 5 years now and always brush! will try pouring next time. I love the greenish color on the Albany pour.
Love your pouring tips, looks great
Thank you, very helpful!
I love the pour look👍
Very helpful and amusing.Thank you!
Loving the pouring results. Very nice 👍
All beautiful, but yours is the best. Great video!!
no. 4 I am using this glaze today, love it, great over deep firebrick
You’re a true earth bender! Love the glaze reviews! Would love to see one in lustrous jade! I have seen so much variations with that glaze. Take care!
Yours will be the best !
This is the first time I have seen you brush that you got a good coating on with each coat. Your brushed on glaze actually looks like how mine turn out now. Either you turned it slower while brushing, or the fan brush made the difference! Good glazing job. I like all four bowls!
I think they all look beautiful in their own way.. I like the imperfections
I have rewatched this review and in the past year I have added more Amaco brush-on glazes to my glaze stock. With much respect, I rescind my previous comment and easily see how you can pour these glazes instead of labouring over coat after coat after coat…. I am a dipper as I don’t have the patience it takes for bruising on multiple layers. One saving grace is that I live in Jamaica and the brush on layers don’t take too long to dry. Thanks for your reviews, I really enjoy your testing.
Pls experiment Blue Rutile brush vs pour.
youre doing great work man. keep it up.
I sprayed the Amaco brown shino and it turned out great.
Thanks for sharing Pouring on looks great
Thanks for the video! I pour the glaze on the inside of all my pottery and brush the outside. I’m going to try your way.
Good for you! You think outside the box and march to the beat of your own drum. My kind of 'people!'
Brilliant video
I always loved the looks of amaco glazes. Sadly there is no amaco were I live. Also is amazing how you can alter the glaze by using different techniques.
I liked them all!
gorgeous!
love the 3 coats, but Your bowl is by far the best !
I have been pleased with 4 coats brushed SINGLE FIRED.....Albany Brown should be renamed for pour to Donte Cream Light Tan
I will continue to brush and pour depending on my mood and will definitely pour the Albany Brown if I want a cream coloured pot.
Thanks for sharing and opening up the possibilities.
Pouring has worked well for SINGLE FIRE too.
I would say it was a poetic draw between four and pour.
I usually dip in my homemade glaze but just the other day I poured an amber tea dust glaze I bought which I did not like at all when I brushed it. It turned out perfect.
Would like to recommend trying pouring and brushing cosmic tea dust!
The 3 coat brush was my fave
Awesome video. I'd love to see a review of Ironstone
Found this super helpful thanks Donte! Been brushing my Amaco glazes like a sucker. I’d be curious if glazes like the PC Palladium would be okay being poured (that one runs like crazy I’ve noticed).
Interesting .... I haven't bought any brush yet and was thinking why can't I just pour the brushable glaze to my cup. At the end of the day, it just needs to be coated. Love this "fight" video, yet I am on your side haha
I actually pour inside bowls and then brush the out or pour outside like you do. Agree pouring is better. I also brush multiple glazes sometimes so get many coats which are amazing.
I have literally never even thought of doing this!! I feel so dumb. But... I do a lot of different colors on pieces so I’m not sure how you clean the mess from pouring the glaze on. Thanks so much for the information!!
As a Newbie, I’ve only dipped. So, this is super interesting.
I enjoy brushing. 😁
I always prefer dipping results to painting/brush results honestly :)
Me too
I agree. People who have the TV on an uneven number bugs the crap out of me too.
I would love to see River Rock. Mine turns out ugly brown with 4 layers.
You win yours is better. But I’ve never brushed the way you do. But I’m gonna try it
Re-glaze the 2 coats and sell. But I LOVE the pour. My studio doesn't do pour. We do brush, but I wish I could do pour.
Doing it with a celadon type glaze would probably show the shortcomings of brushing vs pouring/dipping even better.
But there's probably also a difference between glazes that have been formulated to be brushed vs traditional dipping glazes
Hi Dante, thanks for all your great videos! Would you please put Iron Lustre PC-33 and Textrued Turquoise PC-25 on your list of glaze reviews? thanks! Frauke
Stay well. You going to do a "make up" video?, cuz, I hate it when we fight. Thanks for sharing.
Ha Ha "That's what you sound like" Love it!
Thank you! Thank you for this Donte! I did the pouring instinctively today (first time glazing at home) because brushing takes soooooo long.... I figured I had nothing to loose...well maybe a few pieces, but definitely worth trying. Still haven't seen the results out of the kiln because I want to test more pieces. 😁. Quick question, when you add water, what is the consistency you're looking for approximately?
I would say that melty effect you can get with brash too;) your layers even 4 not too much glaze on a brash…. That’s why effect was so ;) but I like pouring more too:) and it’s saving time you are right ! But if you have very little of glaze you can do glaze with brush or airbrush …. so it’s just result of no other way 🤷🏻♀️😉😎🥲
We recently used this glaze as a top layer, and upon opening, the glaze was thick like chocolate pudding in the container. Still worked, just felt wrong to be wiping pudding all over my bisque LOL.
i like the 2 coat one ...... :)
hahahahahaha! I would rather DIP than brush, so GREAT vid on a compromise. 3 coats of brushing...UGHHHHHHH. One dip! Good trip! Thanks so much! :)
Hi! I love your reviews!!!! I am relatively new to pottery glazing so I am wondering if you finish your glazes with a clear coat to get that shiny finish or are you just glazing with the color minus the clear coat. I would appreciate your response!! By the way, I love this brown!!
I bet they are about the same or yrs would be better than the other 3 painted ones.
After watchin the results, i like all but i love the colourin, than the white but thats only coz i love the wood grain look.. all are very awesome in their own way!. The 2 coats was my fav.. sorry but not coz it was how u painted it, that made it..
Pouring! I trust you😀
Haha we won, I was on your side.
I would always choose to pour I do whenever I can. Back when school was still in I began to be able to throw faster than I could glaze by brushing. I could hardly do more than 3 bowls 1 h 15 min. They just dry so slow but like don’t have enough glaze on them. I get so frustrated just sitting there litteraly watching glaze dry.
Also despite the fact I am subscribed and hit the bell I still am not getting notifications. CZcams?
Make sure u have the notifications on all and not personalized
Morgan ann
What is personalized do. Ahh CZcams.
This glaze review was good, but does it come in blue?
I am so going to try pouring. It does taking forever to brush.
hello! thanks for this presentation, I will try Amaco glazes for sure. Can you try the same with any Botz glaze?
Thank you❤ very informative!! I will be watching more of your tutorials!! A question... why is this glaze called a slip? Can this be used on leather hard? Will underglaze show through this glaze. Thank you for your research!!
How much water do you normally add to make PC dippable? Does this method use glaze faster? Can we have one video about spray vs dip with a PC glaze? PLEASE thank you so much for these PC review videos.
Hey bud. Thanks for the reviews! I used this glaze recently. It gave me lots of variation. The outside came out perfect. The inside was covered in pin holes. Any idea how to prevent this from happening? Bmix and a ^5 with a 15 min hold
How about trying amaco celadon obsidian c-1. I would love to see it poured on and possibly layered with another color.
Oo. We have that
You are right. The TV needs to be on an even number.
Thank👏 you👏
Very helpful video thank you! Wondering if you’ve ever heard of suspenaid and have ever used it to thin out the glazes for pouring or dipping. I’ve never used but it was recommended to get more out of the pint bottle as well as to thin down the glaze a bit. Personally I’ve always found Albany slip brown to be very thick and have to thin it with water before I even brush it on. Can’t imagine pouring or dipping it without it being too thick. But there are other PC glazes that I love and use all the time that I’m so sick of brushing. Would LOVE to start pouring or dipping without wasting. Also what do u do with the excess glaze after u pour it? Do u add it back into the pint jar or do u keep it in a different airtight container? Thanks!
i believe he said he pours it back into the bottle.
Interesting, I hadn't considered pouring brush on glazes before, going to give it a try. Question - was the pour just 1 coat?
I would love to see blue rutile in this same test as well!
Agreed!!!
I noticed you told others that you usually add about a third cup of water to your pint of glazes to make them more of a dipping glaze. I think this is a great idea to save a lot of time! I just worry about the cleanup and how much glaze is wasted when you pour it back into the pint bottle. Do you add even more water to this process? If so, about how much? Do you fire to cone 5 or 6? Thank you for all the work you do for us. ☺️
I fire to come 6 and I usually do not add water in the videos, but after. I like to keep the tests pure.
this could get expensive! I don't know about you, but I value every drip!
I usually pour it into the bucket and then pour it back into the bottle and rinse and repeat until the entire thing is gone I've tested it out with brushing and pouring and it turns out about the same amount of pieces (depending on the size of course)
are the crafter I do concern myself with price and saving resources but at the same time if I were looking to save money on making something I probably wouldn't have picked this art form 😂
The sudden Initial D was a welcome surprise
Do you think if you added some water to the glaze and thinned it out a bit you could get a "3-4 coat" result from pouring it on? THX
When you pour on, do you put the left over glaze back in the bottle?
Do you still work with pit fire kilns? Do you work with high fire glazes? Can you recommend someone who does if you no longer do?
Can you do this project with Ancient Jasper?
I think pouring is the way to go, but I have to say this far, I am liking this glaze more than I honestly thought I would... I wonder if dipped w a purple/blue type glaze on the rim how it would look...
Yup, def liked yours more! Pour all the way!
I have a question - I carved a pattern into a mug, put an underglaze into the pattern, waxed the underglaze, and then poured on an amaco glaze. And the glaze adhered beautifully to the wax, to the point that I had to wash it all off and try again. It sucked. Any idea what I did wrong? Too little wax? Wrong wax? I read that "this happens when you try to pour on a brushing glaze", but I like pouring on brushing glazes....
I have fired a few sample pieces with the Albany slip brown, however I cannot get the color to fire true. The color consistently comes out looking black. I have been painting 3 coats on. Any ideas on what could be happening?
Do you dilute the glaze when you pour it?
Different strokes for different folks, ey
Agreed.
I noticed on the bowl you poured there are some little pock marks on the inside but not on the brushed ones
I may have missed it but do you add water to these glazes to get to a more of a dip/pour consistency? Also....Amaco likely loves you showing us how to pour these as we’ll go thru the glaze faster. Lol
I usually do add water but I didn't for this experiment
Ok fine I admit it poured looks better you win
Pour will be best
I’ve always gotten too much brown with this glaze...cone 6. Never liked it. I will try to glaze it thicker, to get the light color. ** IS IT FOOD SAFE.? I read somewhere that it may not be.
How much water should I add I usually use Duncan envision glazes, is it safe to add water to that and use as a pouring glaze? I hate the brushing technique !!!!
how does pouring defer from dipping?
What is glaze pour vs brush quantity used
Do you do cone 5 w 10 hold.
Always was and will be a dipper. Hate brushing.
Your bowl will definitely have the fuller color, but I'm curious of the effect on the thinner coat.
But Dante you were already doing it right pouring it on
Which method yes the most glaze?
How do you get the glaze back out of your bucket so you waste as little as possible?
I'm so glad you posted this video..because I absolutely hate brushing. Question though..is it cost effective compared to buying a mixing powder? I feel like you're using so much out of that pint container for one piece..or is it that it looks deceiving on video? Regardless, I found this to be very helpful :D !
You can buy the powder and it is cost-effective if you're buying it in bulk.
but if you want to be truly cost-effective I would highly suggest making your own glazes. I do it and I know how to make 5 gallons of a glaze for underneath $80.
But you have to learn to put a recipe together and a tiny bit of chemistry.
As a side note I usually add about one-third pint of water in order to stretch the glazed and it usually comes out fine.
I just didn't do it in this instance because I wanted a true test
Earth Nation Ceramics mixing chemicals is so intimidating to me 😬.. i would like to eventually learn how to do it though.
Earth Nation Ceramics perfect! I’m gonna try this method next glazing. Thanks for your help :)
