Pop of Color | Add Whimsical Texture and Vibrant Colors

Bubble glazing is a playful technique that enables you to create fun and colorful bubbled designs on the surface of your work. By using one or multiple colors, you can achieve a dynamic and eye-catching finish that adds a whimsical touch to your creations.

Design Tips

Combine 1 part color, 2 parts liquid soap, and 1 part water. If the bubbles aren’t forming well or popping too quickly, increase the amount of soap. More soap improves surface tension, allowing the bubbles to last longer and deposit more color onto the surface before they burst.
Try not to let the bubbles slide off the surface. This is easier to manage if your vases, bowls, or other pieces are lying flat during the glazing process.
Tilt the container slightly and use the straw to pull bubbles and transfer them onto your piece. This gives you more control over bubble placement.
Avoid sucking on the straw and inhaling any glaze or soap.
Resist the urge to pop the bubbles to maintain texture.
Use bubble glazing as a background effect or as an all-over design.
Darker colors show better contrast, making the bubbles stand out.
