| Nathan Bray’s Work |
I’ve decided to add a little gold lustre/luster to some of my cone 10 fired work (thanks for the inspiration, Nathan Bray!).

So when I bought some gold lustre from Picasso’s Ceramics – Yikes! Expensive!!!
– I received a really great tip from Brad.
Since the gold lustre is in such a tiny bottle, to avoid a fatal mistake of a tip-over, Brad showed me his handy-dandy, homemade lustre bottle holder!
WOW!! What a great idea!
All you have to do is to silicon glue a small piece of foam rubber to a heavy base (old kiln furniture) and then cut out small holes to hold the tiny bottles – no dramas! Thanks, Brad for the great idea! and permission to pass it along!
Here’s wishing me good luck with the gold lustre – I’ll report back when I have some amazing results!
That is a good idea. I bought some gold lustre some time ago and haven’t tried it yet, one of these days.
A fantastic tip. Thanks for sharing it and thanks to Brad. I inherited some lustres from a potter that was retiring and I haven’t used them as the idea of doing a lustre firing doesn’t appeal to me. (maybe one day)
Love this idea – I’ll be using it when I get around to opening those lustre bottles again…
Ah! Too clever! Thanks for sharing Marian. See you soon at the GC Potters’ I hope 🙂
I haven’t worked with lustre, but I can imagine you would not to spill the bottle! Great tip for all sorts of things!
