52. How to Make Pottery Ash Glazes from Pitfire Ashes

In this video I will show you how to make your own ash glaze. And it's actually a very special ash glaze - because I will be using the left over ashes I get from pitfire.

I will show you everything from cleaning and filtering af ash, how to mix the glaze, adjust it, glazing your pots, fire them and how it all ends up.

The recipe I use in this video is:
1/3 Ash (575g )
1/3 Nepheline Syenite
1/3 Quartz
