we have a lot of really cool bisqueware here in the art room that's all ready to be glazed beautiful spoils and beautiful Spoons the first thing you I think about is the color you want to use  maybe you like to use a bright vivid orange or LeafGreen or the two complementary where's together  on the spoon I want you to notice the way that the peacock green has settled into the texture beautiful and shows the texture pattern really well  that peacock green is paired with a really nice warm Amber Brown and those two colors just great together  here's an example of something not to do this student painted a peacock green and then a chrome green and I think they came back the next day and did the chrome green and probably thought it was the same color because is start of odd it is going to come out pink or red looking as a liquid once it's fired it actually turns the color that it is make sure that you check the label on the glazed jars really carefully to see which color of glaze you have this one is gingerbread which a warm brown color some of the glazed jars  here in my classroom might say a name on top of my be written just will check that that's the same as what it says on the label because sometimes the lids don't get put back on the right jar  once you pick your colors send you want to shake your glaze up really well that's so important now notice I'm holding the lid to the jar while I shake Lids aren't put on real tightly and what happens is the lid goes flying and so does all of the glaze and we have a huge glaze explosion in the art room that's not fun to clean up  we're going to need to paint three coats now I've already started painting this nice little notice and putting the glaze well out in front of me where it won't get knocked off the table and spilled all over the floor your first coat will be absorbed play this bisqueware really quickly you should brush and make sure you push the glazed well down into any little Nook cranny's that there might be on your peace because otherwise once it's fired you will have the cracks showing bright white and it won't look very nice so you want to really get that glaze down in there  once your first witness tried  then you're ready to apply to second coat  you can see that it's dry it's a little lighter looking and the second coat Pat in Dover brush it it's kind of Pat it on again working it into any nooks and crannies on your right one place you want to be sure not to put any glaze is right on the bottom where it sits on the table if there's glaze on the bottom when it's in the kilm the glaze message heats up and starts to melt will be syrupy thick and it will glue down to the glaze shelf and I'll have to whack it off with a and believe me you don't want that to happen to your peace it'll shattered into a bunch of pieces so when you're all done glazing your piece take a sponge and white any stray bits of glaze that might be on the bottom alright but I'm not finished glazing after I've done coach for the background  hand that's all glazed on then you want to decide what kind of decoration you might want add or details you might want to add choose the best brush for the job so I've been using a nice big fat brush to paint the background color for any detail you want to add choose a smaller detail brush not take a look at this little animal head the nose is black and the amber color is lighter than that do your light colors first then as your dark detail because the dark will come what the black that's gives me the dark black will cover up the Amber but the opposite isn't true I wouldn't be able to cover up any black stray marks with the amber color so work from light to dark alright have fun glazing today
