This is a small pot that I am using to experiment with glass inlay for a different effect.

  • I really don't know anything about using glass, obviously. I know more now than when I made this video, however!

  • I don't know if you have fired your pot yet, but I have used glass that I used wood glue to affix to the pot while greenware. When I fired to bisque they melted and ran down the pot. My glaze firing was by Raku firing and the glass ran more. The object was a stoneware bottle and the glass started on the sloped shoulder of the bottle. My guess is that it will run off the pot, but enough residual will be left to stay in your original position. Depending on how it runs it may be cool. Good luck.

  • Thanks John. It is in the kiln now, so I will see tomorrow!!! Thanks for watching!

  • I like this look :) I hope it works out but I have a suspicion that those glass blocks will pop off.

    You've got alot of fun ideas, I really look forward to your videos!

  • Yes, That is what the general concensis is telling me. We will just have to see what happens! It probably won't work, and I'll have to go to plan B.

see all

  • they will drip and they will burn out the color because the kiln is to hot you will have to fire the pot then lay in your glass and fire at a lower temp. sp

  • @rainbowstars31592 yeah they should have done a before and after video of it

  • how did this turn out after being fired?

  • This is beguiling :) can't wait to see it.

  • you could try putting a rail of clay across the glass tiles, like a top and bottom frame to keep them from popping off. you'd have to make it loose against the tiles for shrinkage, but still attached well enough to the vessel that they wouldn't come of themselves.

  • Rapidac emailed me the bascially the same concerns you're mentioning here. I didn't even think about shrikage rates, and etc.

    I have no idea what's going to happen, but it's probably not going to work. I will keep you up to date, however. mb
