PEACOCK Style Glazing with Cone 6 Glazes

Peacock Eye Glazing is a trendy technique where glazes are used with the intention of allowing them to run to create the illusion of a Peacock Feather “Eye”! I have 7 pointers I show toward the end to remember to increase your success. Use a light base glaze Use a stable base glaze Use some glazes with a FLUXING nature (That has a lower melting point, and helps to encourage runs) Use on a vertical or curved surface- interior recommended Use multiple layers for runs Be careful on exterior or near foot A base glaze that is runny won’t yield much detail Check out my Amazon Influencer Store where I have recommendations for some of my favorite tools and products many of which I use in my videos- which are available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/shop/karanspotsandglass Check out this link to a live Googledoc I continually update with lots of my favorite Ceramic suppliers and my favorite tools on Amazon using my associate links!

I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 32 years, the past 22 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsAndGlass I started my Youtube channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently, especially with my semester ending “Pick A Passion” projects- see link here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0pNzEmvM_rvYtsF3kqw3fVh1QeEJ7kV I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students! Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to receive channel updates, or would like to learn more about clay and studio processes!
