Good Morning,
I would like to know how to glaze a bowl using two different glazes. The
outside of the bowl and the inside rim (1/4" 1cm or so) are in one glaze and
the rest of the inside is in another glaze. I know in my heart that there
is a method for doing this well. I've not been successful as yet and
wondered if anyone had any tips, please? I just finished a long session
learning about making nesting bowls and will have plenty to practice on.
Thanks very much.
Best regards,
Carol

Use liquid latex to coat the part of the inside of the bowl that you
want a different color. Let dry then dip the bowl in the glaze for
outside and rim. When this is dry, wax the rim and about an inch of the
outside (I use hot wax). Peel away the latex completely and then pour
the glaze into the inside.

If you want a really sharp line where the glazes meet: glaze inside and
entire rim with one glaze. dip the rim in hot wax and use a fettling knife
to cut/scape glaze away in a sharp line. sponge glaze up to line of wax.
Dip into 2nd glaze up to wax. This was explained to me by a guy I bought
glaze software from at nceca last year. this probably only works with hot
wax.
also, when you throw, leave enough clay to trim a nice deep foot that
you can use to hold the bowl upside down when glazing. Once you have the
inside glazed, Hold the bowl level, upside down and dip into the 2nd glaze.
Air inside the bowl keeps the glaze from going deep inside the bowl.
You could also wax (hot wax) the entire inside but this is a pain.
Good Luck! Francine

Here is how I do it:
First, glaze the inside of the bowl by pouring in glaze then pour it out.
With a damp sponge wipe off any glaze that got on the rim when pouring out
the glaze, you can't avoid this. Let the bowl and inside glaze dry.
Second, cover the inside glaze with a coat of wax resist and let it dry.
Now, glaze the rest of the bowl by dipping, pouring, or spraying. Gently
daub out any glaze that my bead up on the wax resist and fire away...good
luck.

Carol,
I built a rod glazer from a sealmaster rubber covered ball bearing unit that
looks like a miniature banding wheel so it fits up inside the bowl. It also
has an adjustable clamp so I can angle the bowl a little and raise or lower
it to match the size of the bowl.
First I glaze the inside by pouring out while rotating. This also gets the
rim and some of the outside. If you can't tolerate runs from double
thickness, wax the rim, and cold water wash the excess glaze on the outside.
Let dry and then invert on the bowl on the glazer padded with soft cloth and
use a pitcher to pour the outside while turning it over the glaze bucket.
With the proper angle almost all the run off goes back into the bucket. It
makes two colors match up with a sharp boundary the way inlay techniques do.
If you want to see the glazer in action I will post it to my web site. Just
post a note to clayart.

hi Carol
I glaze the inside by pouring in and rotateing to pour out, any dribbles ,
wipe off with damp (not wet) sponge.Second colour por glaze inside footring
and por out, put hands inside bowl with outwards pressure and push bowl down
into glaze till it comes to just below the rim of the bowl, count and remove
to papered surface leave until gloss is off then you are ready to do the
rim. Get a wide shallow container big enough for bowl to sit in upside down
on rim with a wee bit of space around it, pour well stirred glaze in to
about 1/4 inch deep and then, holding bowl by footring, put rim of bowl at
slight angle onto bottom of shallow container and rotate -touching rim on
bottom of shallow container as you rotate but with opposite edge above glaze
as rotated so as not to get a "Bloop!" I find this gicves a nice crisp
finish but glaze in container needs to be kept at same level for each bowl,
glazes that sperate out too quickly cause problems andthey need to be
totally in suspension for each step or you get thin areas.
Was taught how to do this whilst a second year student - so not too tricky
and easy to clean up if a mistake is made - hate using wax more than I have
to!
Any problems understanding instrucyions just ask!!!! Easier by far to show
not tell!
