    How to Raw Glaze Pottery

    Following on from last week's episode of the podcast, where we made a stoneware glaze suitable for raw glazing, join me for this episode, where I apply the glaze to the mug! Raw glazing is similar to glazing bisqueware pottery, but greater care needs to be taken not to over-wet the greenware, or it will disintegrate your beautiful pot! I talk you through how I glaze my bone-dry mug - (mostly carefully and slowly!)

    How to Make a Pottery Glaze for Raw Glazing

    Join me for an exciting episode on the podcast this week, where I talk you through making a stoneware pottery glaze from start to finish! If you’ve ever wondered how to make a pottery glaze suitable for raw glazing, this episode is for you! The glaze in this episode can be applied directly to greenware pottery and fired straight up to stoneware temperatures - a pottery technique known as ‘raw glazing’. This glaze can also be used as a regular stoneware pottery glaze and applied to bisqueware pottery before firing to stoneware glaze temperatures (1260oc).  Full details of the stoneware pottery glaze recipe made in this episode and the electric kiln firing schedule required to fire it can be found in this free guide.  All these episodes can be viewed as videos in the ‘How to Make a Raw-Glazed Mug on the Potter’s Wheel’ YouTube playlist here.
