Hi there!
Slowly building up my little ceramics collection ready for a bisque fire (anyone has anything they need bisque fired let me know as I want to get one in soon!). This is my literal first time bisque-ing and I am fully self taught so while working on it I thought Id gather some thoughts on good (not too spenny) glazes for my future pieces once I have bisque fired them… any recommendations of brands?? I have no idea what my style or aesthetic is, was thinking maybe buying a little sample set from a brand and see how they turn out? Any advice welcome… brush on glazes only 
thanks so much!!!
Hi Laura,
great you enjoy Ceramics. The most comon available glazes for brush on are Amaco, Mayco and Botz. I know Botz sells small size tubs for their glazes.
Make sure you get the right glaze for the temperature you want to fire.

Mayco stroke and coat is the one ive seen at most paint-your-own pottery studios, it’s faily versatile and the colours that come out the bottle are pretty much the same as what comes out the kiln (rare in the world of glazes!)
Honestly though if you stick to foodsafe glazes (therefore ensuring no unforseen health and safety issues from pigments or metals that are sometimes in glaze) just grabbing whatever’s on sale or available in a small quantity will give you room to experiment and find a style
