I Love YouTube! And it just occurred to me, in all our research about ceramics, glazes and various techniques, we should put our collective resources in one location. For you to enjoy, watch and learn the following How-To-Techniques below. I've linked the videos at a particular point to begin the topic, but please feel free to watch in their entirety.
Check back often for more updates.
Learn how to use Pottery Cascades with Stoneware Glazes and firing to cone 6. Although, we only go to cone 06, the techniques should be the same.
Designed to simulate the aesthetic, movement and interest of mid-range glazes in a cone 06/05 oxidation kiln firing, Mayco's Elements™ and Elements™ Chunkies give artists a wide variety of options in one product, as glaze application, firing temperature and shape will influence the outcome of finished work.
They're going to explore using Elements and Combinations two different Element colors and the Introduction of White Cascade and Clear Cascade.

Movement: Elements™ and Pottery Cascades™ will move at mid-range temperatures. We recommend receding layers of glaze when applying on vertical ware. You may use Mayco Stoneware Engobes, Underglazes or another stable glaze to act as a buffer to help control flow. Avoid heavy application of Elements™ Chunkies crystals at the bottom third of ware as the crystals tend to flow at higher temperatures and can adhere to the kiln shelves. Place a tile or a piece of scrap bisque beneath the piece to prevent glaze from running onto your kiln shelves. Textured ridges may help to catch the glaze and prevent runoff.
