Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: classes, glaze

In my pottery class last night, we revisited the Glaze Room and dealt with some more intermediate glazing techniques. Double-dipping, glaze combinations, decorative wax resist, wood ash, stains, spraying and more. Of course we ended with everyone’s favorite. BUBBLES.

A fairly simple trick of adding DAWN dishwashing detergent to a small cup of glaze. Blowing into it with a straw to make bubbles. Then carefully applying them to a glazed pot. Nice patterns. Nice contrast. And so much fun to watch my students giving it a go… like Cecile!
