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.

My name is Yvonne, I am a potter from Vancouver BC. To me, pottery is my meditation, my getaway from stress and life. This channel is my Vlog of my pottery journey to show others the beauty of pottery, how relaxing it is, and how you can do it too!
As I mold clay, a feeling of calming and relaxation flows through me. It is a meditative process, which is why I stay silent as I work.
This video shows the process of applying a luster overglaze on already fired and glazed ceramic pieces. In the video title, I spell the term lustre with the British spelling- both that and luster are appropriate and accepted. True lusters are beautiful, but have some inherent safety warnings. You must use them in a well ventilated area. Either outside with a breeze, or under a fan to ventilate an area. I actually am working on top of my kiln (with a board as a work surface) and I have my vent hood pulled down to pull out the fumes as I am working and as the pieces dry. Luster glazes are quite expensive- and are sold in tiny bottles, that is why I use them so selectively on pieces.
Don't plan on using luster pieces in a microwave, as this is like putting metal in a microwave! Handwash these pieces as well. Keep your hands clean- and don't eat or drink while using them.
In this video, I show two different brands of lusters. There are more, but these are the two I know about. Hanovia and Sara Lusters. (I have recently discovered Laguna has lusters too!) Here is an Amazon link for Duncan Gold Overglaze: Duncan Overglaze Gold
