2K views · 201 reactions | Peel & reveal! Glazing is the longest part of process with my work. A lot of people ask if the tape can remain on the pottery during the firing, and it cannot. (Though this 1/8” masking tape would burn out, it’s really bad for the electric kiln.) So, I typically spend a few days mapping out and applying the masked designs on bisqueware, then another couple of days glazing and removing the tape before firing the final glaze fire. 🔥 #ceramics #pottery…

Twisted Clay on Instagram: "Removing the tape after glazing is an important step of Ryan’s process. I used to think it couldn’t be too difficult until I helped him last year for the pottery sale at our studio. He was having a hard time getting everything done in time so I offered to help him remove tape. I quickly realized that it is tricky to get the tape to come off without chipping the glaze. He definitely has a technique that keeps his lines clean."

I tape patterns onto my Raku Pots to create distinctive and unique looks.

stable hand studio on Instagram: "tried a new glazing technique to make some grid cups! 🗑️ i used automotive detailing tape to mark out a grid design and then glazed over the top, i think it turned out very cool! im gonna make more! they’ll be available sometime in may 🫶🏼"

I started applying my wax resist before removing my tape and it was a game changer. I don’t know why I wasn’t doing it before! Benefits: 1. No flaking...
