In this episode Ann experiments with various designs using the spray gun. If you've wondered how to use a compressor with your work check this out. Many potters are intimidated by using "heavy equipment" but you will see just how easy it is to use.
If you would like to learn how to paint with underglazes check out Ann's Video Workshop Series. These workshops are very detailed (typically 1.5 - 2 hours in length) and provide step by step instruction on the painting techniques Ann uses. Thanks! vimeo.com/showcase/6725318

I’m so glad I watched this again!! I have a small air compressor and thought it didn’t work because it barely blew any air out when I turned it on! I didn’t know that noise what the compressor fulling up!! I will definitely be trying this for sure. Thanks again!!

I’ve thought about using my husbands compressor to glaze like we do in school. Now amaco sells spray underglaze but hear they’re expensive. I enjoy your videos and all your work plus ideas. Thank you so much ❣️

I just got the idea to use a spray gun since I don’t like doing the dipping glaze. Didn’t know others were doing this so thanks for your vid! Btw, you’re so creative!! So many wonderful ideas you share. Thank you. Anyway, I don’t understand what a compressor is and looks to big for my little studio. I found some cordless spray guns on Amazon. Do you think those would work just the same? Also, have you sprayed with the dipping glazes or paint on glaze (not underglaze) ?

@LittleStreetPottery Жыл бұрын

Depends on their ability to spray underglaze - some may be strong enough. The compressor I use is probably overkill but I've seen and used smaller ones (Harbor Frieght) that work fine. You can also use and atomizer. Good luck!

hi annie. Is the slip u are using the same as the main clay body or a commercial slip? I think you mentioned using porcelain dried out and made into a smooth paste/ liquid then mason stains. Did you add any other ingredient to the liquid slip to help it pass through the spray nozzle smoothly without clogging? Did you have to sieve your slip through 200 mesh or finer first? Thank you. Love your helpful tutorials 🙏

@LittleStreetPottery 9 ай бұрын

Same clay as the body for slip. I just made sure I watered the slip down pretty good, and yes, I sieved it as well through 200 mesh. Would love to see your work!

is it possible to spray deflocculated slip onto a form with the gun and compressor you're using? I want to spray onto loofa forms, build up layers of slip, then fire in the kiln, where the loofa will burn out, leaving the ceramic.

@LittleStreetPottery Жыл бұрын

Interesting you mention this, we were going to try this in a recent video but worried about the thickness of the slip etc clogging things up. Hopefully, one of the other members of the community will see this and share their experience...

@micheledickey4066 3 жыл бұрын

Is there a reason you use colored slip instead of underglaze?

@annruel1982 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Michele. I could have done it that way, but for me it was cheaper to do it this way. I had the reclaimed porcelain just waiting to be reused and the mason stain on my shelf and could make a big batch of that from those materials I already have. The commercial underglaze I have is expensive and I would have to make a big batch of thinned down underglaze to be able to spray it. As you probably know, when you spray, there is a lot of waste that happens from the spray. I dont like to waste the underglaze. Thanks for asking

Ann- you are using slip to spray, so are the pieces dry or still leather hard? I have only applied colored slip to still damp pieces...but I don’t work with porcelain and the coating is very thin...so all bets may be off! 😀

@annruel1982 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Gray. They are bone dry. If you apply in thin layers there shouldnt be any problems, I have done it on stoneware at bone dry and not had any problems either, but the layers were thin.

Gray I was trying to remember the clay I was using and spraying slips on ... before I started using porcelain. It may have been Highwater Little Loafers which is not a straight up porcelain but is porcelain like. It worked well on that clay. I havent tried it on a groggier type of clay so I didnt want to steer you wrong in case this process doesnt work as well in all situations.... I just wanted to add that little amendment to my previous answer. :-) . Have fun spraying!
