She asked if we could develop an amber/clear. Suddenly I had a brainstorm! Replace the flint and kaolin in the troublesome recipe above with Redart. The glaze software said it was nearly a chemical match for the original glaze. Tests look very promising. It didn't blister, it looked beautiful, and it doesn't turn to stone in the bucket. We are trying this glaze on actual pots in the next glaze firing.

It is somewhat shiny. I like it that way and I don't care what anyone else thinks! Chrome does well at less than 1%. Cobalt 1%. Black iron oxide works better than red iron. Copper looks beautiful but causes the glaze to bubble and shiver. Rutile can be unpredictable. I use titanium dioxide instead. Mason stains give great colors. Add 5% 6-tile if you want to use encapsulated cadmium stains. I mix them to close to 46 on the hydrometer. The metal oxides effect the thickness and each variation is adjusted within a range of 45-48. I always layer my glazes. I like the way they break when layered. I dip for at least 3 full seconds for each coat. Thin pots need longer. The glaze goes on thick. I've found that fritted glazes tend to thin as they fire. Three layers of glaze is generally a bad idea. The rule in my studio is, “if you insist on using 3 layers, the third layer must be applied only on the top 1/3 of the pot." See this glaze in action at: http://www.claylink.com/Dinner2004/cummings.html Or http://www.claylink.com/Earthenware2005/Cummings2.html See what my studio members have done with it at: http://www.claylink.com/cccs2006.html (Actually all of our glazes and clays are represented in this show.) I use a black glaze under this glaze on most of my pots. I have to keep some secrets.

Ginette is my wife, among all the glazes that she has seen over the years it is the one she likes most. It is deep blue and has a lot of light mottling (nearly white in nature). Applied thin it is a kind of a light buff, but applied very thick it becomes deep blue with a lot of very light mottling. If applied thick it will crack, just put the raw glaze in place by rubbing with your fingers and it will work nicely. *How long have you been using this glaze? 2 years *Where is it used? Studio *Where did this recipe come from? Of our own experimentation. I made the design and my friend Bernard Brunette made all the lab work and the firing. *What do you like most about this glaze? The beautiful light mottling. *Is this glaze reliable? Yes *Does this glaze tend to craze/crawl/pinhole/etc.? It cracks at the moment of application but there are no surface flaws once it is fired. *How do different firing temperatures/atmospheres affect the glaze? Not tested *How does the glaze behave on different clay bodies? Well *What consistency should the glaze be for pouring/dipping? Thick *How thickly should the glaze be applied to the pot? Thick *How does this glaze interact with other glazes? Not tested *What is your kiln type and size? 22x27 electric kiln *How do you typically fire? Typical oxidation until cone 04, ended by a short period of soaking of 30 minutes *Do you experience problems with the raw glaze? No *What is your water pH? 7.2 *GlazeBase recipe* Submitted by: Edouard Bastarache (edouardb@sorel-tracy.qc.ca) Ice Cream Flavor: Maple polkadot vanilla -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Return to GlazeBase Page Glaze name: Blue Andy's Water Cone: 06-04 Color: Blue Testing: Surface: Gloss Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Alkaline Transparency: Transparent Recipe: Gerstley borate 5.80 EPK 7.20 Frit 3110 76.90 Flint 10.10 Comments: Variations -- try 4% copper, or 0.5% chrome or 1% chrome or 0.5 cobalt or 3% manganese Glaze name: Blue Black Purple Cone: 08 - 06 Color: silver blue to silver bronze Testing: Untested Surface: Firing: Ox. or Red.

We have been using these two glazes along with white crackle and copper wash and have gotten VERY NICE results. Apply 1 coat. Stie glaze with each brush stroke to keep rutile in suspension. Our raku kiln is fired between 1830 and 1900 degrees. Reduce in very heavy pine needles, broken pine cones and some sawdust. The surface effect is like a 100 grit sandpaper. Colors range from a silver blue to silver/bronze with flashes of color that can run the full spectrum. Lots of bright teal and purple with halos of fuschia and mustard.

It has a fine grain. If you are used to throwing fireclay-based bodies, you will think your hands have gone numb. It feels sort of like the most incredibly forgiving porcelain you have ever thrown. It can be re-wetted from nearly bone dry back to a plastic state. My students get away with things that most clay bodies would never allow. This body is 90% clay. Redart is the primary flux. Shrinkage is 12% (5% to Dry –7% in glost firing.) Porosity is very low. Less than 1%. Bisque to cone 08. A higher bisque will tighten the body too much. Glaze fire to cone 1 to 3. The cone temperatures are very close in this portion of the firing range. I fire to cone 1 slowly to allow the glaze and clay more time to mature. Fast firings and small kilns may require firing as high as cone 3 to achieve the same results. I fire a 20 cubic L&L stuffed full of work with the computer controller set to slow glaze and a 10 minute hold at temperature. Firing is the key. Electric kilns require skill to get the best results too! I’ve used this clay to throw very large work with very good results. Tiny things work too! Downsides: It can be a little sticky. If you cut things off the bat and leave them in position till they get to leather hard, they may re-adhere. When fired this clay is very dense. It rings like porcelain. When covered by my color base glaze, it can be played like crystal. It is hard, but not brittle. I like to scare my students..I mean show my students how strong the clay is by beating one of my plates on the corner of a wooden table. I wouldn't dare do that with anything I have made in stoneware.

Recipe: Ferro Frit 3134 30.00 Gerstley borate 30.00 Redart Clay 40.00 Comments: This is a wonderful glaze on terra cotta. It is glossy, but tight, so it is excellent for overglaze brushwork with straight oxides or maiolica colors. If it goes on too thick it will go opaque yellow - not altogether unpleasant, especially with overglaze brushwork. Note: all of these glazes contain large amounts of gerstley borate, which is soluble with time. If you don't use the glaze up within six months or so you may have to toss it and mix a new batch. An alternative is to replace all of the gerstley borate with 3134 frit. source for original recipe: Conrad's THE COMPLETE COMPENDIUM submitted by: Wenzel K Pitelka e-mail: WKP0067@tntech.edu Glaze name: Clear Annabeth Rosen Cone: 08 Color: Clear Testing: Surface: Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Low fire (Boron) Transparency: Transparent Recipe: Gerstley borate 73.00 EPK 25.00 Lithium carbonate 2.00 Comments: From Ayumi Horie Variations -- sky blue 1/16% cobalt + .5% copper carb plum brown 2% manganese diox honey 6% RIO Glaze name: Clear Base 1 Orr Cone: 03 Color: Clear Testing: Surface: Gloss Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Alkaline Transparency: Transparent Recipe: Gerstley borate 9.00 Soda ash 16.00 Frit 3110 66.00 EPK 5.00 Flint 4.00 Comments: From Lisa Orr in CM.

Glaze name: Darby's Base Cone: 04 Color: Testing: Untested Surface: semi gloss Firing: Ox. or Red. Recipe: Spodumene 40.00 Gerstley borate 30.00 Silica 30.00 Comments: I use both of these with a 10% addition of Mason 6600 black. Rosie's turns a satin grey, while Darby's is a satin black. Here are a couple of simple glazes you might try. Both are semi-gloss until you add stains, then they become more of a satin matt. The trick to getting a good matt glaze at cone 04 is to soak the kiln at the end of the firing, and then cool a bit slower than usual (fire down). A matt glaze becomes that way because micro-crystals grow out of the glass. It takes time for that to happen, and the typical electric kiln simply cools too quickly. Both of these came out of student triaxial blends at the Kansas City Art Institute. submitted by: Pete Pinnell e-mail: ppinnell@unlinfo.unl.edu source for original recipe: Kansas City Art Institute Glaze name: Darby's Base no GB Cone: 04 Color: Black Testing: Tested Surface: Gloss Firing: Ox. or Red.

Put it over a cloth texture, and you have invented ceramic denim. It reacts to the slip color under it. It also breaks light brown over lines, brush strokes, or throwing rings. This glaze uses dolomite. All of the books say it isn't active at this range, but my students didn't know that. I would have told them it wouldn't work, but I like to let them make their own mistakes...or show me I'm so so wrong. Now I just need to convince them to try other colorants. This glaze likes a big kiln and a slow firing. The results from the small kiln were cool too, but incredibly different.

Recipe: Gerstley borate 38.00 Lithium carbonate 10.00 Nepheline syenite 5.00 EPK 5.00 Silica 42.00 Comments: (from Laura Zindell - a former student at RISDE) This is a nice textural low-fire glaze - fire to 04 for semi-matt, 03 for semi-gloss. For opacity add 8% zircopax. Colors: green - 2% chrome oxide, 2% copper carbonate; turquoise - 4% copper carbonate, 3% rutile; blue - 2% cobalt carbonate; black - 3% cobalt carbonate, 12% RIO; yellow - 4% rutile; yellow brown (especially nice) - 16% RIO. Note: all of these glazes contain large amounts of gerstley borate, which is soluble with time. If you don't use the glaze up within six months or so you may have to toss it and mix a new batch. An alternative is to replace all of the gerstley borate with 3134 frit. submitted by: Wenzel K Pitelka e-mail: WKP0067@tntech.edu Glaze name: Johnson Semi Matt Cone: 04 Color: Testing: Untested Surface: Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Ca Na Mg B Recipe: Frit 3124 77.28 Clay 13.64 Talc 9.09 Comments: Glaze Type: Ca Na Mg B.

Nice ones if you give it time. I stopped playing with it because every time I put it in the kiln my CCCS color base (from my last post) would have problems.

This glaze is roughly half the cost of fully fritted glaze. Seemed to work well in test, but it needs further testing on actual work. Use these Duncan EZ-stroke transparent underglazes as overglaze wash for color: 003, EZ004, EZ007, EZ012, EZ014, EZ019, EZ020, EZ021, EZ024, EZ025, EZ027, EZ028, EZ030, EZ032, EZ053 (lip red), EZ161. Most others will work.EZ017 is slightly dry, EZ006 is quite dry - not recommended. Cover coat CC 154 works as well. Most other Cover Coat colors will work when quite thin, but will be dry if thick. Try adding a teaspoonful of frit or gerstley borate to a jar of CC underglaze for glossier color. Other color possibilities include washes of the common colorants (mix chrome and rutile 50/50 with gerstley borate or frit).

Right now I am firing to cone 02 and doing two types of decoration: one with metallic slips for a burnt earth look and one with glazes. My interest here is only the glazed ware. In the cases where I brush on the glaze, there is absolutely no pin holing, whether I apply the glaze very thickly, thickly or thinly. It's not so much the pin holing itself which interests me ( I will work to eliminate that) but rather that it does not occur when I brush on the glaze (whether I apply it thickly or thinly and even on several occasions I have brushed in on raw, fired it and had no pinholes).

Note: all of these glazes contain large amounts of gerstley borate, which is soluble with time. If you don't use the glaze up within six months or so you may have to toss it and mix a new batch. An alternative is to replace all of the gerstley borate with 3134 frit. submitted by: Wenzel K Pitelka e-mail: WKP0067@tntech.edu Variations -- For opacity add 8% zircopax.

Clay Times Mar/Apr 07 p 50 Glaze name: Rosie's Base Cone: 04 Color: Testing: Surface: semi gloss Firing: Recipe: Plastic vitrox 40.00 Gerstley borate 50.00 Silica 10.00 Comments: I use both of these with a 10% addition of Mason 6600 black. Rosie's turns a satin grey, while Darby's is a satin black. Here are a couple of simple glazes you might try. Both are semi-gloss until you add stains, then they become more of a satin matt. The trick to getting a good matt glaze at cone 04 is to soak the kiln at the end of the firing, and then cool a bit slower than usual (fire down). A matt glaze becomes that way because micro-crystals grow out of the glass. It takes time for that to happen, and the typical electric kiln simply cools too quickly. Both of these came out of student triaxial blends at the Kansas City Art Institute. submitted by: Pete Pinnell e-mail: ppinnell@unlinfo.unl.edu source for original recipe: Kansas City Art Institute Glaze name: Rosie's base 04 Cone: 04 Color: Testing: Untested Surface: shiny glossy Firing: Ox. or Red.

It can tend to cause dunting on some red bodies that have a higher talc content, but usually only if it's made into a majolica and applied thick. We use this as a satin clear in our classes and it works just fine. Use a medium to thick application, and it really should be fired down a bit to develop a more satin surface (otherwise it is a semigloss). flocculate It needs no bentonite, since the gerstley fills that role.

(On a buff stoneware fired C10R, it gives a grey-tone white).To this slip, to get black, he would add 5% (+/-) of his black stain which has the following ingredients: 20% chromium oxide 20% cobalt (oxide or carbonate) 20% manganese (di)oxide 20% iron oxide red 8% feldspar (any) 8% kaolin (any) 4 flint He states this mixture is best after being ball-milled for a minimum of four hours to eliminate specking. He says 5% is enough for a clear glaze, more may be needed for an opaque glaze (or slip as above). If this approach isn't suitable to your friend, perhaps it will provide a simple guide towards a black slip. Salut!

Right now I am firing to cone 02 and doing two types of decoration: one with metallic slips for a burnt earth look and one with glazes. My interest here is only the glazed ware. I have dipped using tongs and large buckets (my normal habit);poured, using a jug simply to pour the glazes over the pots (also a normal habit); and applied the glaze on the wheel using a syringe and broad flat brush. I bisque all ware to 04 in very slow, well ventilated bisque fires. In both the dipping and pouring I am getting a fair amount of pin holing, especially where the glaze is thick and almost not at all where the glaze is thin. In the cases where I brush on the glaze, there is absolutely no pin holing, whether I apply the glaze very thickly, thickly or thinly. It's not so much the pin holing itself which interests me ( I will work to eliminate that) but rather that it does not occur when I brush on the glaze (whether I apply it thickly or thinly and even on several occasions I have brushed in on raw, fired it and had no pinholes).
