Glaze inspiration & glazing classes explained at Clay Temple.co
At Clay Temple.co, we believe that glazing is where your creativity truly shines!
Our glaze inspiration page is designed to spark your imagination and help you envision how your pottery pieces can come to life.
Whether you’re crafting a personal keepsake or creating a gift for someone special, the right glaze can add that perfect finishing touch.
Explore our glaze options
We offer a variety of glazes that can enhance the beauty of your pottery, each with its own unique texture and colour. As a Cone 6 paint-on glaze studio, our primary glazing brand is Coyote, which is new to Australia. This means that the combinations and possibilities are still being explored, giving you the chance to create something truly unique that hasn’t been done before.
We also use other high-quality glazes from trusted brands such as Mayco and Amaco. Here are some popular options to inspire your next creation:
Glossy Finishes: These vibrant, reflective glazes add a sleek shine to your pieces, making colours pop and bringing out intricate details.
Matte Textures: For a softer, more understated look, matte glazes provide a smooth, non-reflective surface that feels lovely to the touch.
Speckled Effects: These glazes incorporate tiny flecks of colour, giving your pottery a playful, textured appearance that adds depth and interest.
Earthy Tones: Embrace nature with earthy colours like terracotta, browns, and greens that evoke a rustic charm and warmth.
Easy & straightforward glazing methodology
Our glazing methodology is designed to be easy and straightforward, making it accessible for everyone. You’ll find that understanding how to apply glazes is simple, allowing you to focus on expressing your creativity without any unnecessary stress. Our instructors are always available to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.
How our glaze classes operate
Once you have completed one of our two-class sessions and your first throwing session has been finalised, you will await our text message or email letting you know that your pots have been fired and are ready to be glazed. From there, you’ll have the opportunity to book yourself or your group into one of our numerous glazing sessions throughout the week, ensuring that you have plenty of options to fit your schedule.
Get creative!
Don’t hesitate to experiment! Mix and match different glazes to discover unique combinations that resonate with your style. Here are some creative ideas to consider:
Ombre Effects: Gradually blend two or more colors to create a stunning ombre effect on your pottery.
Single Color Sets: Simply choose one color to create a cohesive set, allowing the beauty of simplicity to shine.
Flux Additives: Add flux to your glazes to create a unique dripping effect that adds movement and character to your pieces.
Wax Resist Techniques: Use wax resist to reveal the raw clay body beneath your glazes, adding an interesting contrast and depth to your design.
