Melting Glass on Pottery (again)

Maybe you could glue glass beads onto a piece and see what happens. Or string them on with copper wire.

I'm just learning about making pottery. This looks awesome!

hey man, I think that piece looks great ! I liked it before the glass melt. The only thing I see is it needs a little grinding on the bottom. perhaps another "happy accident" ?

Those little glass jars seem to have a large volume of glass; wonder if you glass-cut them so you had only 1/2 inch of jar, like a band, that could be used.

All three were interesting...and very different....👍

Interesting, would have liked to see a similar piece with just glaze choices to compare it to.

Not my cup or tea but it is interesting.

I like it!!!!

Wahh so beautiful ❤️❤️

I think you would enjoy pit firing. Did you try? I really like to see your experiments!

Thanks for sharing all your experiments!! I really enjoy watching. Do you do pit fire ones too? I don’t remember seeing any vids but maybe I missed them.

I don't think you are wasting your time. But I am not sure what you are trying to achieve when you add the red to things. It seems to never really show?

I love these experiments! I love how the pot turned out in this video.

I think that these experiments are coming out better and better. To comment on this particular piece: awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to develop the process. I would like to know more about your firing temperatures and times. I do sculpture and want to incorporate glass into them. You have definitely been a good guide thus far.

I think these experiments are valuable and definitely not a waste of time. Not only are you learning a lot along the way, you're saving many of us the time and materials necessary to maximize our own efforts using similar techniques. I genuinely appreciate you sharing the learning curve. Besides that, a lot of the nuances and subtleties of the resulting colors, patterns and blemishes I find to be pleasant or at least inspirational enough to ponder. Thanks, man. Cheers!

looked like an eyeball at first

Your experiments are awesome

This is amazing!

I like the look of the melted glass over the glaze. Just too much going on, I think. Thanks for sharing your process.

Gorgeous

That piece looks more than interesting enough to proceed with testings in my opinion. It's your time, effort and money though but it feels like there are endless possibilities whit this since there are a lot of factors that can be slightly altered that would result in a different outcome and I personally think it's a technique that is worth exploring. Here in Spain and also in some South American countries this technique is called Vitrofusion but I don't know anyone that really knows much about it, I have found a few artisans that have been experimenting for some time with different ways to combine the two materials but other than that I haven't found really any information related to its origins either... I speculate that it's not a new technique per-se, it's very possible the Egipcians experimented with it, but it's undoubtedly a quite obscure and underdeveloped one, possibly due to the unpredictable nature of each outcome, but in my opinion a very fascinating one for that very same reason. The only way to really push this technique forward and make it less volatile and unpredictable is by experimenting and even if you're only doing this as a hobby or out of pure curiosity I believe it's blessing for the art of Pottery and clay work in general that people like you take your time and effort to quench your curious nature and also decide to share your experiments and findings with the world.

I tbink the red looks bad. The rest is great

Love the base shape, dk. Blue color, but not totally happy with the RR. Might think differently with the wood foot. 🤔

Sorry for this silly question. If I make the backyard clay and the use crushed glass as glaze, would that work as a non-porous surface that holds water? can you do like a decent mug with those two materials?

Love it!!

I love it !!! Keep up with the experiments plse. Is that just normal glass, can I use any glass from the kitchen?

Hi! Can you tell me the right temperature for doing some experiments like this ? Really enjoyed your video

I think it looks unique and colourful and I think it is definitely a valuable piece of work and I don’t understand why don’t you like it. I think you can definitely sell it at reasonable price.

Definitely NOT garbage! This looks like an incomplete process, needing just a little bit more refinement and experiment to realise the great potential. Inspiring stuff, indeed!

i love them all- they are like people, unperfect and wonderful.

I think it is cool Justin. I just found your channel and thought I would say hello. I have been using the stamps you sent me and they are fantastic. Phil Davis

Interesting!

I think it’s absolutely amazing that blue is my favorite….love it..garbage oh no, it is beautiful art

Oh heck yeah! I love it. The depth is fantastic.

Have you tried to lining the clear glass jar with the glaze? That could be Kool...
Love your experiments!
Right up my alley

Only flat surfaces

I would think that the Ball Jar glass is a harder glass than you might want to use. I would try a 97 coefficient glass say from Olympic color. Or you might try a stain glass from a hobby store. They tend to be softer glass. Drinking glasses and or mason jars are just to stiff for what you are trying to do.

I think an improvement - just more variances

The glass will eventually crack because the COE of the glass will be different than COE of the glaze. The internal stress that the glass is under due to that will cause an eventual crack.

I'm studying fine art and am looking to work with this technique, thanks for the video!! And it looks very nice 😂. Would love to see more.

Im back, and i checked out other videos. So happy I found this channel!!!

I like how the glass made little feet.

Daaaang! That looks amazing!

I really like it. I think the pieces are very interesting. I also think that they have a lot of character. Keep going. You never know what you will come up with. Also, i did like the blue one better before you did the glass on it.

What!!!! It's so pretty!!!!!

What do you fill the glass jar you put on top of it with? Looks awesome btw

What happens if you mix a little frit or small bits of glass into a ceramic glaze and fire it to cone 10?

I don't like it

Mate, that is way better than the first attempt, love it!

Definitely not garbage... Prefer this sort of pottery art than perfect looking machine made stuff. Beautiful outcomes

Cone 5 huh? Hmm
