I'm fairly new to pottery and that was the best information on underglaze I could find so far. Thank you!

I started pottery 2 months ago and was wondering how to use underglaze. Thank you

Maybe a bit late to the party, but a quick warning for putting underglaze on the foot of your piece: it can still stick to the kiln shelf. It really depends on the underglaze you're using, as some include silica which does melt.

Do you apply the underglaze, let it dry, and then apply the clear glaze before glaze firing?

[browzy]

i see the pots/cups started white, is that white underglaze or is the clay white?

I'm just starting to explore the underglaze.
Thank you for the video 😊❤

Hii, thankyou alot!! I have a question, so i have a lot of powders and those powders are to paint porcelain. But can i use that also as a underglaze? I cant find anything about it

[KarinaGomez]

Can you use underglaze with paint on glazes?

Hi! I am making these personalized jewelry dishes and I had put initials on the dish using underglaze and have just bisque fired it. However I realized that I got one of the initials wrong. Now that it’s been bisque fired, is there a way to erase the incorrect initial? Can I sand it off? Please let me know!

[tarnverne]

Can you put a glaze on top of underglaze? Thanks for you video really helps✨

[queenyen]

So I did a pinch pot and it is now dry. Can I use underglaze now then bisque it? After bisque Can I use the clear glaze then second fire?

[laurak]

Great explanation, thanks so much! I'd like to ask just one more question, do you brush on the clear glaze right after the underglaze has dried or do you dip the piece in the clear glaze? I always assumed I could use underglaze before the first firing and then apply the clear glaze to the bisqued piece before the second, but you seem to do it all before the 2nd firing?🙈

this is such a good video, right to the point and informative, thanks so much and cute work :))

[yamm]

Thank u for the info is amazing, only I have a question the glaze can be whatever brandy? Bcuz no all can bake the same temperature right? Thanks again for all the info this videos is super cool

[sudipaganguly]

Does the underglaze and glaze both have to be under same temperature template like both have to be mid fire or high fire

[Ranartist]

This is amazing, and helpful but I have a question, can I only use underglaze to paint on my mugs or I also have to use overglaze after ? If yes can I over glaze right after I underglaze the mug or should I fire it first ?
