Kevin, are these measurements? 46.0,300 etc.? Does one mix together and add water? sorry if this is obvious, but I am new to this.

Where is the best place to buy these materials?

Typically your local clay/ceramics supply due to weight/shipping. But places like Clayscapes Pottery do ship materials.

Hi if you look at Sheffieldpottery.com they have a lot of items with free shipping, not sure about raw materials. Do live near any distributors? Sheffield is in western Massachusetts, Bailey pottery in near Troy New York, Portland pottery is in Braintree mass, I’ve bought my raw materials from each of these places. Where do you live?

Jess has a class out there about mixing your own glazes that will explain everything.

yes! Mason stains are colorants, although there are many colorants that are not Mason stains. How much to add to a batch depends on the result your looking for, which may differ depending on the specific clay body your looking to apply to it.

Yes.

Yes!

oh ok so I'm not a total idiot haha.. I've been looking for her clear glaze for sale and couldn't find it. I figured they'd at least sell the ingredients and just add water maybe? for us noobs? Maybe they do and I just haven't come upon it yet!

I wish they sold it, would make a fortune LOL

It's a kaolin (Edgar Plastic Kaolin).

Thanks Kevin.

Silica 325 blends more fully when mixing glazes than silica 250

Go to know, thanks Susan.

This is a cone 5/6 glaze so it'll need to go hotter than your earthenware probably wants to go.

Still curious, want to make a batch and wanting to know what size bucket to use

Think of the values as percentages, so you can make any size batch you want. Jess typically does a 1000g batch and that works well into a 5 gal bucket.

Hi Kevin, do you mean 10,000 g batch? I usually do about 3,000 g for a 2.5 gal bucket. 🤗

Yep. Coffee wasn't working yet this morning...

😁

Jess said 325 mesh in a live broadcast.

Will 200 work tho?

325 is what you really need for this.
