Bubble Glazing Technique
Tip*
If you don't use under-glaze, you don't need to coat your piece with clear glaze.
Supplies
Bisque fired object, underglaze, clear glaze, soap, water, cup, straw, and a paper plate
Bisque Fired Object
Coat your ceramics pieces with a light underglaze.
Mix!
Pump 2 squirts of hand soap, 3 spoons of water, and 1 spoon of any underglaze color into a cup. Mix together!
Blowing Bubbles
Place your bisque fired item in a container. Put a straw in the cup and blow into it to make bubbles. Allow the bubbles to overflow onto your piece.
Tip: Slow blowing will give you larger bubbles. Fast blowing will give smaller bubbles.

Pop!
Once the bubbles are placed to your liking carefully begin to blow on them to make them pop.
Clear Glaze
Once the bubbles have dried coat your piece with clear glaze to get a shiny finish. Let your piece go through the kiln. Here are some examples.
