79. Using Oxides & Stains to Alter Pottery Glazes

In this video I will show you how you can use oxides and stains to alter the look of your glazes and make them more unique. Most of us use either commercial glazes or glazes mixed from recipes that are publicly available - in books or websites like Glazy.org. Anyone using the same glazes will get more or less the same look. But with the use of oxides and stains - under and/or over the standard glazes you can create looks that are truly original - make it 100% your own. It is very simple to use oxides and stains - and a lot of fun. I hope this video will inspire you to play around with all the colors.
