You may think that making your own glaze is difficult but it's not! If you can follow any kind of recipe, you can make a pottery glaze.

In this episode, I talk about 3 ways to make a totally unique pottery glaze:

  1. Tweak the base ingredients of an existing glaze recipe.

  2. Add different colouring oxides to a base glaze.

  3. Make a pottery glaze using plant ashes.
