There are many types of glazes, some recipes for oil spot glazes, just in case you want to mix your own. but the oil spot glaze will give you a very different and some what pretty design for your pottery or ceramic. In just about any pottery or ceramic shop there will be many different types of glazes that are ready made and I'm sure you would be able to find one or two differant oil spot glazes. Below are some recipes for oil spot glazes, just in case you want to mix your own. When you are mixing, cobalt carbonate gives a deep black base color to the glaze. It can be omitted to produce a traditional dark brown glaze with light brown spots. You will need to add flux to compensate for the loss of fluxing action from the 5% cobalt carbonate that you remove. The two glazes recipes below were tested for leaching and both were considered acceptable for dinner ware. The result for cobalt was 0.08 mg/L and iron was 0.25 mg/L.

The glaze is the result of adding 8% more kaolin to the original Candace Black recipe. The result was a bit stiff and creates a dry glaze. Then adding 15% more silica and 4% more kaolin to the original Candace Black recipe made it a bit too fluid. But, mixing the two together you have the number 4 glaze above. If you find a glaze that you like, you can add or lessen amounts of the ingredients just to see what you come up with. Be sure and keep notes when mixing just in case you come up with a masterpiece glaze recipe!

All About Clay The best way of starting out is to take a few lessons. You will probably waste quite a bit in materials when you first get started. Figuring out how to truly make handmade pottery correctly and shape into what you want it to be can be quite an ordeal. The different tools that a normal shop will have can be fun to try. You will soon see which ones you like to use the most and then when you are ready you will know which ones to buy. With the help of the internet, you can now purchase most if not all of your ceramic and pottery tools and supplies online. We are located far from any well supplied dealers and yet working with reliable ceramic and pottery suppliers online has allowed us to recieve most of our orders within a timely manner. When you get all set up, just enjoy the hobby and have fun at it. Some people get pretty serious and start selling their creations at craft fairs and small stores, but others just like to create items for themselves, relatives, and friends. Whichever kind of handmade pottery you desire to endeavor, enjoy the hobby and have fun doing it.
