The barium/boron eutectic makes it hard to say what cone this fires to - the longer it is in kiln or the greater the thermal mass of the kiln the more it will flux. Formulated originally without the ash or slip clay it was semi-satin, semi- gloss somewhere around cone 2. Boron subdues the copper coloration. I'm not taking responsibility for anyone using these glazes, etc. Something is probably toxic. They are examples of my research and they work out in formulation. Which is what they are examples of. So go formulate your own non-toxic glazes, if that is possible. It's probably bad for the environment too. Email me with questions as to household performance, as that may be indicative of other problems. The badly crazed surfaces are not considered to be a continous-non porous sanitary surfaces.

Original recipe (Cone 9-10): Mixed hard wood ash 35 Oxford spar 35 China clay 15 Talc 15 I fire in an electric kiln. I would never describe it as a foolproof glaze, but if applied with care, it's so beautiful that it just knocks out all the reliable competition. I bisque at ^06 and am now firing at ^6. I have gone to ^9, but that seems to present more problems with pinholing and crazing. Also, I wash the ash. I have also used the same recipe with unwashed ash. The difference is that I would describe the unwashed ash glaze as stony matt and the washed ash glaze as opaque satin matt. Haven't tried this recipe at a lower temperature. You might want to give it a try. marjory r. kline Glaze name: Ash Golden Fake Cone: 6 Color: Amber Testing: Surface: Firing: Glaze type: Fake ash Recipe: Cedar Heights Redart 27.20 Dolomite 23.80 Barium sulfate 12.20 Ball clay 20.40 Lithium carbonate 1.70 Gerstley borate 9.60 Bone ash 5.10 Bentonite 1.00 Comments: This is one I used at Montgomery College in Maryland.

Once I screen the content I took some of the larger particles and included it in the clay. The largest particles left over, and there most likely will be some, was put in the urns and sealed. So the finished product contained bone ash in the clay, in the glaze and in the end after final firing the cremains left over were sealed in each container and returned to the family. some of the small calcined (from cremation) fragments acted like iron bleeding in spots through the clay and glaze. It didn't run and I did add some colorants to this glaze. The results were nice!

Doesn't add to 100 because of the strontium/barium substitution, the bentonite, and the ash. This may be closer to cone 5 than cone 6 but seems to work over a range of a couple cones. This is Zakin's GK base with 15% unwashed, mixed fireplace ashes, with strontium substituted for barium and superpax for opax. By itself over porcelain, the glaze is not particularly interesting. But other glazes on top of it run and drip and blend together nicely. I've found that if I glaze the lower 2/3 or 3/4 of a pot with a well-behaved glossy glaze, brush a coat of this ZGK ash glaze on the top 1/3 or so and then brush or dip some third glaze on top of the ash glaze, I get a nice pattern of runs that don't go off the bottom of the pot onto the kiln shelf (usually). Different glazes give different kinds of runs and bands of different glazes are interesting too. The few times I tried a matte glaze on the bottom, the pots cracked. Could have been coincidence. But I've been sticking with glossy glazes on the bottom since then. submitted by: Janet Price e-mail: jprice@kzoo.edu Glaze name: Bacia's 20-30-40 Cone: 6 Color: Testing: Untested Surface: Firing: Ox. or Red.

I am breaking all rules with some of the high-fire stuff from 20 yrs. ago I couldn't bear to throw out. I use the 20-30-40 over highly textured clay, painted with either Barnard clay, one of my many old mixes containing Albany, or even over colored terra sig.s and FIRE TO CONE 6. The terra sig's were never meant for this temp, but they work. The glaze at cone 6 looks more like an engobe but richer in the valleys of the texture. I remember how I used this glaze in high fire reduction and liked it a lot. It can turn gray in reduction. So experiment with opax. submitted by: Bacia Edelman e-mail: medelman@facstaff.wisc.edu Glaze name: Ball Crawl Cone: 6 Color: Opaque White Testing: Untested Surface: Texture crawl Firing: Ox. or Red.

The barium/boron eutectic makes it hard to say what cone this fires to - the longer it is in kiln or the greater the thermal mass of the kiln the more it will flux. Formulated originally without the ash or slip clay it was semi-satin, semi- gloss somewhere around cone 2. Boron subdues the copper coloration. I'm not taking responsibility for anyone using these glazes, etc. Something is probably toxic. They are examples of my research and they work out in formulation. Which is what they are examples of. So go formulate your own non-toxic glazes, if that is possible. It's probably bad for the environment too. Email me with questions as to household performance, as that may be indicative of other problems. The badly crazed surfaces are not considered to be a continous-non porous sanitary surfaces.

My glazes that get the effect are all at ^6, and usually contain Boron- whether from Gerstley Borate, a frit, or Colemanite. I use a dark Rutile, and some zinc- which is a little contradictory, because of the effect of zinc on Iron colorant. Rutile has a secondary effect when blue is from Cobalt-- the color effect from Cobalt is somewhat transparent, and the opacifier effect of rutile gives the Cobalt blue something to show up against A nice 'hint' of blue can be the effect of a small amount of Cobalt in a transparent glaze with a fair amount of Rutile. and Iron wash under it can also cause interesting variations. This gives a good white with 5% rutile, with opalescent tones and, with luck and a good clay to work on, some blues. Try adding a small amount of Cobalt. This glaze seems to have a lot of ingredients, but I had to change spars, and readjust the recipe using a line blend to zero in on what I wanted. Note that there is no clay-- you may need to use a suspender, or add a little Bentonite. The Strontium I substituted for Barium is a little coarse and can settle.

After having experimented with both 3124 and 3134, we found we liked 3124 better. I have used the following glaze with the Degussa stains and have achieved good results. The glaze appeared in an article written by Gerald Rowan in the December, 1981 issue of CM. It would be worth getting a copy of the article because there are many color variations suggested, many of which we've tested and had beautiful results. If you have trouble finding a copy, e-mail me directly with your address and I'll mail you one. With 5% tin it is a beautiful, fat white semi-mat glaze. The clay body you use makes a huge difference. When I have used the glaze over the GWU clay body (which fires from cones 6-10), the glaze is yucky and transparent. When used over a cone 6 temp clay made with Redart, it is beautiful. Good luck.

In fact, it is contributing to some unwanted seconds. The glaze is a great white, but the application is crutial and I am wondering about the glaze poise, or the set of the glaze on the ware. I think the glaze is adequately flocculated with a solution of bentonite and Flocs, and runs at an SG of about 1.6. We have experimented with various dipping strategies, to no avail.There are still streak marks, thick and thin marks, from dipping. The pots are mugs, all the same, and all glazed the same. Usign tongs with sharpened points, the mugs are dipped in an arc motion to glaze both the inside and the outside and as they are raised from the glaze bucket, on an angle, the interior glaze slowly decants out. There are still streaks and uneven parts on the ourside surface, but only on the side that the glaze runs off. The opposite side is perfect. submitted by: Jonathan Kaplan e-mail: jonathan@csn.net Glaze name: Base Kaplan's Revised 3-5 Cone: 3 - 5 Color: white Testing: Untested Surface: Firing: oxidation Recipe: Custer feldspar 36.00 Whiting 16.00 Strontium carbonate 17.00 Kaolin 10.00 Silica 21.00 Zircopax 10.00 Comments: (The following is in response to a glazeing problem that J. Kaplan was haveing with the original base.) It sounds like the problem is one of glaze formulation rather than of application. I would guess that the glaze has too high a surface tension because of the (relatively) high amount of zinc. Looking at it chemically it looks like a higher fire glaze that has been brought down in temperature by the addition of zinc, so the zinc can't just be left out. I guess the easiest solution is to substitute an oxide with a lower surface tension for the zinc. That would point to lead, barium and strontium. I assume that lead and barium are out of the question, so I did a quick substitution using strontium carbonate. The additions of bentonite and floccs would definitly help this glaze for dipping. submitted by: Pete Pinnell e-mail: ppinnell@unlinfo.unl.edu Glaze name: Base Lorio A/8-A 98/2 Cone: 6 Color: Testing: Surface: Matt Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Mid-fire Recipe: Custer feldspar 47.10 Whiting 32.00 EPK 15.40 Gerstley borate 3.80 Frit 3110 0.90 Lithium carbonate 0.10 Barium carbonate 0.10 Flint 0.60 Comments: From Sally Brogden.

There is Barium Carbonate in the recipes, so they are poisonous whilst in the raw state. Please wear masks and gloves and if possible work at an extractor fan. I just put a normal fan pointing out the window and work behind it. I hear from production potters that Barium can leach thru your skin. Be careful and practise Good Safety Habits. As you can see they both use the same ingredients, but in different proportions.

Pleasant dark brown with black flecks. Takes overdipping with more reactive glazes very nicely - e.g. the oatmeal. The Borax means it shouldn't be left to hang around too long before being used) Here are a couple of standards from the Richmond Potters Club, and a few of my own formulation that have worked well in ^6 oxidation. They aren't revolutionary (my exciting ones have things like barium in them, or are less predictable for a classroom situation) but they have been reliable, and allow for some play. They all calculate out to well within the INSIGHT limit formulas for maturity at ^6. If anyone tests these and comes up with problems, new ideas, good variations etc. could they let me know?

But this ain't no Kermit green. Very stony matte with very hard surface. I suspect it was a tile glaze. Joe Zeller supplied the base, I went ape with the copper. I'm not taking responsibility for anyone using these glazes, etc. Something is probably toxic. They are examples of my research and they work out in formulation. Which is what they are examples of. So go formulate your own non-toxic glazes, if that is possible. It's probably bad for the environment too. Email me with questions as to household performance, as that may be indicative of other problems. The badly crazed surfaces are not considered to be a continous-non porous sanitary surfaces.

They are quite versatile. These recipes are from Zakin's book on Electric Kiln Ceramics. Some of the clays used in the recipe are coarse and the slip should not be strined. The result will be a coarse, sandy-textured surface, not for functional pieces. They may be applied by dipping, spraying or brushing. They may be applied to greenware or bisqued ware. They may be used alone or with stains and glazes. The appearance when fired is soft and sandy. Candice Roeder Glaze name: Bush Fake Ash Cone: 6 Color: tan?

Two years ago I took a part-time job teaching ceramics at Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas. The college has only one kiln. It' an ancient Paragon High Fire.

Note you need to split the kaolin with calcined kaolin. If you don't the glaze will shrink too much and crack during drying, then crawl during firing. You can make your own calcined kaolin by bisque firing a planter full of raw kaolin. Remember to use 12% less calcined because of the LOI. I also tried high alumina low silica and sure enough, that gives a matte too, just like the textbooks say.

Then I layer over it with the same glaze without the clay. This gets a highly pitted chocolate cake look with a cratered & pinholed glossy surface. I don't like any of the above glazes inside a bowl. I kinda like more of a feldspathic glaze for eating/drinking surface. I'm not taking responsibility for anyone using these glazes, etc. Something is probably toxic. They are examples of my research and they work out in formulation. Which is what they are examples of. So go formulate your own non-toxic glazes, if that is possible. It's probably bad for the environment too. Email me with questions as to household performance, as that may be indicative of other problems.

The fuel savings (?) were not worth the effort. The results don't compare to ^10. I agree with Peter Pinnell- sell another mug to pay for the difference in firing costs. add- 10% iron for temmoku or- 2% tin oxide & 1% copper carb. for red Due to the lower sintering point of ^6 glazes- you have to start reduction fairly early- at least by stoneware standards. Try ^010 as a starting point & go from there.

I include both because the coefficient of expansion is just different enough for you to tell which way to go if they do not fit your body. And, yes, I know they all have barium in them. Not much, though, so you could probably substitute 3/4 as much strontium carb, and not affect them much, or possibly just leave it out. I hope this helps.

I found another glaze that was developed a couple of years back by Dinah Collopy (dinah@GN2.GETNET.COM). She wanted a clear that handled underglazes well as I recall. I know she did countless tests. Her comments were as follows: There were two commercial glazes that worked well--Laguna's MS29 and Ceramichrome NG 100 (the latter says it contains lead aluminum silicate but if fired over cone2 meets FDA health requirments for lead release). These commercial glazes need to be applied VERY thinly. What I will end up using is the following: Maybe that explains why the colours are so vibrant....

It is a nice fat cream to beige glaze. Glossy but not garish. Breaks to reddish brown where thin. If your clay body has much iron in it, the reddish breaking is quite pronounced, with speckles. I use it on white stoneware up to cone 7, and sometimes on porcelain, (though on porcelain it is less earthy looking). It is a nice neutral earth tone. Stores well, coats well. Well behaved and forgiving. Dark slips used underneath will show through. BTW, it does not add up to 100.

I noticed that the Floating Blue has popped up again. It is a glaze I'm familiar with since I've been using it for about 3 years. What caught my eye, was the description of it as slate blue, which doesn't fit my results. So, I picked up the original recipe, and it differs from the one Sharon posted. If you're interested, you might try this version in your tests. It is called Floating Blue...from James Chappell's book, Clay and Glazes. This glaze produces a deep blue-brown background of great depth with lighter mottled blues that seem to float on the surface of the background glaze. The glaze has more of the lighter mottled blues where the application is thickest. Watch thickness near the bottom of the pot. The C.M.C. measurement refers to a premixed CMC and water solution. For the Silica, I use 325 mesh Flint. The rutile, is just powdered rutile from the ceramics supply. It fires best on the light side of cone 6 (standard cone just bending), seems to get greener and more fluid the higher you go. Cone 5 works well, too. I do not find a need for bentonite. The book says to weigh the ingredients very carefully, use distilled water or water that is known to have a low mineral content. Mix then add the CMC solution. Sieve two or three times through a 60 to 80 mesh sieve to thoroughly disperse the cobalt, iron, and rutile. The book warns that the glaze is fickle, and recommends against firing this glaze in the same kiln with glazes that contain copper, chrome, nickel or manganese. Mineral content of the water is an important factor. I have noticed an adverse effect as the author noted, and now fire an entire kiln load of this glaze. The glaze should be stirred occasionally during application because the iron has a tendency to settle. Chappell's Suggested variations: Stipple on additional glaze with brush or apply with sponge for an even more mottled effect. Or: lightly sponge a thin wash of 3 grams of chrome oxide to 100 grams of water plus a tablespoon of CMC over the top to produce a floating blue glaze with subtle green tints. Or: Over the glaze, sponge lightly with a rutile wash consisting of 2 grams rutile per 100g of water for a floating blue glaze with slightly tan crystalline tints on the surface. submitted by: Candice Roeder e-mail: CRoeder1@aol.com source for original recipe: James Chappell Glaze name: Frit 25 Cone: 5 - 7 Color: clear Testing: Surface: gloss Firing: Recipe: Potash feldspar 34.90 Pemco frit P-25 25.30 Silica 25.30 Whiting 5.80 Gerstley borate 5.10 Kentucky Ball Clay 3.60 Comments: transparency: transparent used frit 3269.

I include both because the coefficient of expansion is just different enough for you to tell which way to go if they do not fit your body. And, yes, I know they all have barium in them. Not much, though, so you could probably substitute 3/4 as much strontium carb, and not affect them much, or possibly just leave it out. I hope this helps.

Firing data: only tested at cone 6 and 7 - Surface quality variations: Applied thickly, the color is almost a gun metal black with a waxy to satin matt finish over buff, brown and porcelain clays. Lighter coats, especially over buff clays yield greens and blues and almost a glossy surface. - Kiln size, manufacture and type: Skutt 1027 - Effects of firing to different cones: - Coloring oxides, stains and opacifiers tested: - Known glaze flaws: - Apparent viscosity for pouring and dipping: - Application thickness: Depends on the desired effect. It can be dipped, but brushing yields more interesting effects and greater color variety. - Effects on different clay bodies: See above - Interactive effect with other glazes: One of the most exciting effects develops when using this over a white glaze covering porcelain clay. An extremely light coat brushed on yields bright sea blues and greens with patches of almost gold. Over the same white glaze on buff clay, the cobalt blue dominates. (The white glaze I use tends to turn virtually clear over buff or brown clay, leaving a glossy, faintly white blue finish.) - Specific gravity of glaze for pouring and dipping: - Water pH/composition: - Calculated unity formula: - Analyses for any rare or unusual ingredients used in this glaze: Original recipe called for Atomite brand whiting Glaze Contributor: Madeleine Hall-Arber Test Site: Newton, Massachusetts Source for the Original Recipe: Xeroxed typewritten pages without an notation of author, found at the student pottery center at Brandeis University.

But this ain't no Kermit green. Very stony matte with very hard surface. I suspect it was a tile glaze. Joe Zeller supplied the base, I went ape with the copper. I'm not taking responsibility for anyone using these glazes, etc. Something is probably toxic. They are examples of my research and they work out in formulation. Which is what they are examples of. So go formulate your own non-toxic glazes, if that is possible. It's probably bad for the environment too. Email me with questions as to household performance, as that may be indicative of other problems. The badly crazed surfaces are not considered to be a continous-non porous sanitary surfaces.

Also a good base glaze - the copper can be replaced with judicious amounts of other colourants, and they all make pleasant matt glazes.) Here are a couple of standards from the Richmond Potters Club, and a few of my own formulation that have worked well in ^6 oxidation. They aren't revolutionary (my exciting ones have things like barium in them, or are less predictable for a classroom situation) but they have been reliable, and allow for some play. They all calculate out to well within the INSIGHT limit formulas for maturity at ^6. If anyone tests these and comes up with problems, new ideas, good variations etc. could they let me know?

I am suggesting that midfire potters not use this Maryland glaze for food containers. It doesn't have enough silica to keep the copper properly bound when faced with food acids. Adapting the same Seger formula, this recipe is more balanced.

I include both because the coefficient of expansion is just different enough for you to tell which way to go if they do not fit your body. And, yes, I know they all have barium in them. Not much, though, so you could probably substitute 3/4 as much strontium carb, and not affect them much, or possibly just leave it out. I hope this helps.

Wonderful effects. The black engobe gives better contrast with the lichen glaze.

Ferro Frit 3134 can be substituted for Pemco Frit P-54. Good as a majolica-like opaque white glaze with oxides and stains brushed over it. Very stable - does not run, applies well with a brush or by other methods. Doesn't craze on cone 10 porcelain fired to cone 6 - test on cone 6 body. Tested on Aardvark stoneware clays: (listed best to worst for smooth surface) Porcelain, Hopkins White 60, Joe Soldate 60, Rio Red (the last two may have a fairly gritty surface, even at cone 6). Possible Glaze Flaws: This glaze is fairly powdery without any binder. It will crawl slightly if applied too thickly followed by a wash of color on the raw glaze. YOU MUST add CMC to glaze batch to harden the raw surface of this glaze. Use about one tablespoon of CMC powder (soaked in a pint of hot water overnight) per 3000 gram batch. Colors: Use mason stains mixed 50/50 with Pemco frit P-25 or Ferro Frit 3124, or use 70 stain/30 gerstley borate in a watery mix for colors over glaze or some combination of gerstley borate and frit. Using too much gerstley borate may make the stain change color or become pastel. Purple stains may need to have more flux added up to 3 parts flux to 1 part stain. If you use all frit, add liquid starch or CMC to colors for easier brushing and to minimize smearing before they're fired. A small amount of bentonite may also help to keep the all-frit mixture from settling out. These binders are not as necessary with the gerstley borate. Use these Duncan EZ-stroke transparent underglazes as overglaze wash for color: EZ003, EZ004, EZ007, EZ012, EZ014, EZ019, EZ020, EZ021, EZ024, EZ025, EZ027, EZ028, EZ030, EZ032, EZ161. Almost all the other EZstrokes will work, especially if thinned slightly. The dark blue and the orange EZstrokes will wrinkle and get rough if applied too thickly. Cover coat CC 154 should work as well. Most other Cover Coat colors will work when thinly applied, but may 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). A thin red iron or red earthenware slip or possibly a red terra sigillata on the foot or other exposed clay areas makes a nice contrast if used on a white clay body. Richard Burkett 1991. Other color possibilities: A nice dark blue green with: 2% cobalt carb + 3% chrome oxide + 2% black iron oxide added to the glaze.

San Diego State University *Where did this recipe come from? From Linda Litteral - SDSU Glaze class 1996. She called it 'A-7 Chinese.' *What do you like most about this glaze? very stable, good support for most stain colors *Is this glaze reliable? very, but like many majolica glazes it may crawl if applied too thickly. *Does this glaze tend to craze/crawl/pinhole/etc.? like many majolica glazes it may crawl if applied too thickly. *How do different firing temperatures/atmospheres affect the glaze? should work in oxidation or reduction firings, but not with all stain colors. *How does the glaze behave on different clay bodies? best on finer textured clays or smooth, well-ribbed surfaces if used on more heavily grogged clay bodies. *How thickly should the glaze be applied to the pot? medium (average) application for best opacity. may crawl if too thick. *How does this glaze interact with other glazes? should work with most other glazes like any typical white gloss glaze, due to the low boron content *What is your kiln type and size? Alpine Globar, approx 8 cu. ft. *How do you typically fire? 6-8 hour heating, 24-36 hour cooling, no soak. *Do you experience problems with the raw glaze? may settle badly without the bentonite/epsom salt addition. Adding a small amount of CMC gum solution may also help a bit and harden the raw glaze surface. *GlazeBase Glaze* Submitted by: Richard Burkett (richard.burkett@sdsu.edu) Ice Cream Flavor: Ben and Jerry's Pistachio -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Glaze name: Majolica Vina's Cone: 6 Color: White Testing: Surface: Gloss Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Majolica Transparency: Opaque Recipe: Kona F-4 feldspar 34.00 Wollastonite 20.00 Kentucky OM #4 10.00 Gerstley borate 16.00 Flint 20.00 Zircopax Plus 15.00 Comments: From Vina Schemer VinaClay@aol.com Variations -- In place of zircopax, you can use 10% tin oxide.

Almost all the other EZstrokes will work, especially if thinned slightly. The darker blues EZstrokes will wrinkle and get rough if applied too thickly. CoverCoat CC 154 should work as well. Most other CoverCoat colors will work when thinly applied, but may 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). A thin red iron or red earthenware slip or possibly a red terra sigillata on the foot or other exposed clay areas makes a nice contrast if used on a white clay body. *Variations: Other color possibilities: A nice dark blue green with: 2% cobalt carb + 3% chrome oxide + 2% black iron oxide added to the glaze. Or almost any commercial stain added to the glaze in 5-12% amounts. *How long have you been using this glaze? About a year. *Where is it used? San Diego State University *Where did this recipe come from? From Linda Litteral - SDSU Glaze class 1996. She called it 'A-7 Chinese.' *What do you like most about this glaze? very stable, good support for most stain colors *Is this glaze reliable? very, but like many majolica glazes it may crawl if applied too thickly. *Does this glaze tend to craze/crawl/pinhole/etc.? like many majolica glazes it may crawl if applied too thickly. *How do different firing temperatures/atmospheres affect the glaze? should work in oxidation or reduction firings, but not with all stain colors. *How does the glaze behave on different clay bodies? best on finer textured clays or smooth, well-ribbed surfaces if used on more heavily grogged clay bodies. *How thickly should the glaze be applied to the pot? medium (average) application for best opacity. may crawl if too thick. *How does this glaze interact with other glazes? should work with most other glazes like any typical white gloss glaze, due to the low boron content *What is your kiln type and size? Alpine Globar, approx 8 cu. ft. *How do you typically fire? 6-8 hour heating, 24-36 hour cooling, no soak. *Do you experience problems with the raw glaze? may settle badly without the bentonite/epsom salt addition. Adding a small amount of CMC gum solution may also help a bit and harden the raw glaze surface. *GlazeBase Glaze* Submitted by: Richard Burkett (richard.burkett@sdsu.edu) Ice Cream Flavor: Ben and Jerry's Pistachio -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Glaze name: Majolica Rozman Cone: 2-4 Color: Clear Testing: Surface: Gloss Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Majolica Transparency: Opaque Recipe: Whiting 5.00 Frit 3124 40.00 Kona F-4 feldspar 15.00 Nepheline syenite 15.00 EPK 12.00 Flint 13.00 Superpax 12.00 CMC 10.00 Comments: CMC gum is added as a solution of 15 grams CMA gum in 1 liter of water.

One might wish to substitute strontium carbonate for the barium especially for use on functional ware. This glaze contains a great deal of lithium, such glazes may flake off of the ware and one should not use more then 5%. This is a high alumina glaze which shall have a rather modest glaze flow. It will be a soft white matt or a satin matt. Without barium it may be more towards the satin matt texture. Harold J.

RATIO 4.82 EXPAN 592.94 WEIGHT 214.43 I have test results for the original simple glaze and Ron's 2 complicated versions. All 3 glazes were tested on white and red stoneware, vertical and horizontal tiles. They were all fired in the bottom half of my Skutt to cone 6 electric. The firing took approzimately 12 hours with a 1 hour soak at top temp. I added 2% rutile to all the glazes to test for color response, and used OM4 ball clay (instead of bell dark). I was somewhat surprised at how similar the glazes came out. The vertical tiles were virtually identical. All three were a soft gray opaque matt. My white stoneware has a little granular illmenite in it, and small spots bleed through. I double dipped 1/2 of each tile, and the glaze ran just a little. There was no discernable crazing. The horizontal tiles had noticable differences. These tiles were more mottled than the vertical ones, kind of like on oatmeal effect. The original glaze was a warmer gray than either of the 2 complex versions. The second complex version, where thick, was dry and sugary, and more silvery than either of the other 2. On all tiles, the red stoneware was more of a tan color than the white.

I have the answer, which is in Piepenburg's latest book: The Spirit of Clay. (see p. 126 if you can get hold of it.) I quote: The piece was first glaze fired to cone 5; re-glazed with a thick application of his Mud Crack overglaze (50 % magnesium carbonate, 20 % neph. syenite, 20% Ferro Frit 3134, and 10% Gerstley borate) and fired to cone 3. My suggestions are: try over a matte surface glaze. You mentioned a slip. I think it would have to be a very vitreous slip to work. Depending on your kiln, I have had better luck with a cone 2 in the sitter. or witness cone 3 at 9 oclock.. But all depends on the glaze underneath. Also, thick application means THICK or the texture is absorbed into the glaze. If spraying the mudcrack glaze, it is possible that it will crack and fall off the existing fired glaze!!. submitted by: Bacia Edelman e-mail: medelman@facstaff.wisc.edu source for original recipe: Robert Pipenburg Glaze name: Name 1 Cone: 5 - 6 Color: Testing: Untested Surface: Firing: Ox or Red Glaze type: Ca B Recipe: Frit 3124 60.00 Gerstley borate 10.00 Flint 10.00 EPK 10.00 Whiting 10.00 Comments: Glaze Type: Ca B.

It can be a brilliant red-orange with just the right amount of iron. It does better if you do a controlled cooling as it is a crystalline glaze and needs the slow cool for the crystals to grow (fast cool will yield a chocolate brown gloss).You have to do a line blend on this one to get it right as iron oxides are never the same. I use Spanish red iron oxide. Generally increments of 1% RIO will be fine. But, you really need to do the line blend to get the best red and to fully appreciate the range of colors in that small range of RIO additions.

RATIO 4.82 EXPAN 592.94 WEIGHT 214.43 I have test results for the original simple glaze and Ron's 2 complicated versions. All 3 glazes were tested on white and red stoneware, vertical and horizontal tiles. They were all fired in the bottom half of my Skutt to cone 6 electric. The firing took approzimately 12 hours with a 1 hour soak at top temp. I added 2% rutile to all the glazes to test for color response, and used OM4 ball clay (instead of bell dark). I was somewhat surprised at how similar the glazes came out. The vertical tiles were virtually identical. All three were a soft gray opaque matt. My white stoneware has a little granular illmenite in it, and small spots bleed through. I double dipped 1/2 of each tile, and the glaze ran just a little. There was no discernable crazing. The horizontal tiles had noticable differences. These tiles were more mottled than the vertical ones, kind of like on oatmeal effect. The original glaze was a warmer gray than either of the 2 complex versions. The second complex version, where thick, was dry and sugary, and more silvery than either of the other 2. On all tiles, the red stoneware was more of a tan color than the white.

One that I really enjoyed using, for several years (and I still use it occasionally) was a Rutile Pale Blue that has no cobalt in it, yet goes most definitely blue in oxidation. It is a tan mat if it isn't fired high enough and glossy pale translucent blue (almost celadon-like) at temp. Usually crazes...

I include both because the coefficient of expansion is just different enough for you to tell which way to go if they do not fit your body. And, yes, I know they all have barium in them. Not much, though, so you could probably substitute 3/4 as much strontium carb, and not affect them much, or possibly just leave it out. I hope this helps.

They are examples of my research and they work out in formulation. Which is what they are examples of. So go formulate your own non-toxic glazes, if that is possible. It's probably bad for the environment too. Email me with questions as to household performance, as that may be indicative of other problems. The badly crazed surfaces are not considered to be a continous-non porous sanitary surfaces. Eric Hansen, Lawrence, Kansas wabi_sabi@mailexcite.com As I remember they were all quite nice. But these and about half a dozen other tests went into a bucket of mystery glaze liner to which I added even more Custer, Kona F-4, EPK, then came in later with scoops of Gerstley and zircopax for a really nice satin with no problems. I need to find a Mac up at KU that has the HyperglazeIIx on it with my files to reconstruct. But it may not be worth it. That concept is simple if ya know how to use the program and maximize the feldspars, lithium, KNaO and get plenty of other fluxes in each glaze. Also I did not know Clayart has 1995 archives under the subject: cone 6 chit-chat. With several hundred recipes. I'm editing out all the headers and putting in titles and a single style much like this here. Some very lively conversation is recorded in the archives about cone 6 favorites. I am enjoying reading it now. Basically that was what I was after but if anyone wants to bounce some ideas, info, I will play.

Or fired to 1200C at 50C/hr. I added 1% TiO2 which gives a nice blush of crystalline effects, without the yellowish orange you get from rutile. Where this glaze is thicker though and right together with the crystals/bubbles, there's a foamy texture inside the glaze. I can tell because I fire on stilts and when the stilts come off, a little circular crust of glass stays on the stilt pin and the interior of the glaze where the stilt pulled off the surface looks like froth. Foam. (P.S. is this behavior an indicator of a fit problem?) So the glaze goes onto greenware and gets put in the kiln on stilts. Fired. Tons of what I thought were crystals but maybe they really are bubbles, as revealed by the froth. The presence of some sharp-edged pinholes argues that my crystals are bubbles maybe. Conventional wisdom I: soak more or cool more slowly. Done that I: Goes up to temp at 60C/hr, soaks 25 minutes, cools at 150C/hr to 900, then at 60C/hr to 700. If it gets any slower than that, won't I be a laughing stock? Conventional wisdom II: try refiring to convince yourself that it needs to soak some more. Done that II: Refired a set of pieces. Foam is still there. Some of the sharp edged pinholes have closed up. I have used this same recipe with 8% rutile (lovely effect by the way if your rutile is finely enough ground). It doesn't exhibit the same problem as far as I can see. A few pinholes where quite thick but nothing like this. So. Is this because titanium actually makes a glaze more refractory? I'm kinda puzzled about calculating how to make something melt more smoothly. Especially since it already seems totally loaded up with melter, all that boron.

A while back you told me that the expansion for the PMSP-4 glaze was a little low. You sent me a revised version which had a slightly higher expansion. I then looked at Tony Hansen's 5-20 glaze and found it to be pretty close to my PMSP-4. What range do you think the expansion should be in for a cone 6 oxidation glaze? PMSP-4 Expansion coefficient: 68.0 x 10e-7 per degree C Ron Roy's version of PMSP-4 Expansion coefficient: 71.1 x 10e-7 per degree C Tony Hansen's 5-20's glaze Expansion coefficient: 69.2 x 10e-7 per degree C In terms of my experience firing these glazes, I have found the PMSP to be water clear. Your revision to be mostly clear with bubbles only in areas of relief where the glaze has pooled. The 5-20's glaze for me was cloudy. I'm wondering if Ron Wright is getting more bubbles because he is trying to get a THICK clear? My clear gets a 4 second dip and I can't find any bubbles in it under a 1.5x magnifying glass. For anyone following this thread, all of the above glazes are given below. All are cone 6 oxidation. My firing takes about 8-9 hours to bend a large cone 6 and then I soak the kiln for another half hour to hour until cone 7 is at 2 o'clock. I then turn all of the switches to medium for 3 hours before shutting it off. The correct formula for Post's PMSP-4 is this one. The one posted on the database is incorrect.

The surface is very smooth to the touch. It would be a good glaze for color variations. We have done a small amount of testing with mason stain additions and it seems to respond well to most colors, particularly the yellow. *How long have you been using this glaze? In a college studio setting for about a year. *Where is it used? Anne Arundel Community College *Where did this recipe come from? I have two versions of this glaze. This is the best and I am not sure if it came from the Penland Pottery book or not. I don't know the source of the other one. *What do you like most about this glaze? The reliability and the feel. *Is this glaze reliable? Yes, very. *Does this glaze tend to craze/crawl/pinhole/etc.? We have had some crawling when it is applied thickly or overlapped heavily with other glazes. Controlling the thickness is essential. *How do different firing temperatures/atmospheres affect the glaze? It seems to stand up well to temperature variations. When it is hotter it will tend to go more translucent. *How does the glaze behave on different clay bodies? The color is pretty powerful. Over a stoneware body in reduction it will go a bit darker, and it will be brighter and bluer over a white body. *What consistency should the glaze be for pouring/dipping? A cream consistency, so that you can see the cutile of your fingers when a hand is dipped in the glaze. *How thickly should the glaze be applied to the pot? Medium, a full 3 second dip is adequate. *How does this glaze interact with other glazes? It breaks up nicely and goes to a navy blue when used with our clear glaze. *What is your kiln type and size? Most of our work with it has been in an Alpine 20 natural gas kiln. We have also used it in a 23" dia. L&L econo kiln. The colors in oxidation are a bit lighter, and the surface is not as smooth. *How do you typically fire? The gas schedule is just 7.5 to 8 hours to reach cone 6. We fire between cone 6 and 7. Reduction starts at cone 010, and continues to cone 6, with the dampers being opened gradually as the firing gets closer to completion, but we maintain reduction to the end. No soak. We close the dampers but don't close the burner ports. We open the kiln 36 hours later. It is usually still pretty warm a the top. *What is your water pH? very close to 7 *GlazeBase Glaze* Submitted by: Rick Malmgren (RMalmgren@juno.com) Ice Cream Flavor: Bryer's Mint Chocolate Chip -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Glaze name: Purple Jeannie's Cone: 6 Color: Purple Testing: Surface: Gloss Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Mid-fire Transparency: Opaque Recipe: Nepheline syenite 18.00 Frit 3134 14.00 Whiting 20.00 Kentucky OM #4 18.00 Silica 30.00 Chrome oxide 0.20 Tin oxide 3.75 Cobalt carbonate 0.60 Comments: Clay Times Jan/Feb 05 p.55.

Ketchup red is wonderful--not Heinz ketchup red, more like the ketchup red from the time we had an abundance of ripe tomatoes and overcooked a batch of ketchup. However, it had a frosting of tan and the plate and bowl are great looking. The glaze tended to flake off when dry and required careful handling on non-grolleg ^6 porcelain (Standard Ceramics # 213). Has satin finish. Not tested for durability or baked beans-yet. I only hope that the frosting remains at cone 6. BTW my firing took 8 hours and the sitter had a cone 7 placed in the middle of the sitter. Kiln was quite full. Don't know why I didn't get to cone 6 on any shelf. (Obviously I failed to check the witness cone when the kiln shut off-my goof.)

This is also a good base glaze. The RIO can be replaced with cobalt, copper, tin, etc. for other colours, useful for overdipping or whatever.) Here are a couple of standards from the Richmond Potters Club, and a few of my own formulation that have worked well in ^6 oxidation. They aren't revolutionary (my exciting ones have things like barium in them, or are less predictable for a classroom situation) but they have been reliable, and allow for some play.

It only makes a little difference. I do only tile, and don't spray this. I've spent the last 3 years working on cone 5 iron red glazes, starting with Randy's Red, and I've found some things that work to make it redder. I started by taking each ingredient, cutting it down, and gradually adding it back till I had double the amount in the recipe. I found some adjustments that work. Then I researched adding other ingredients in various amounts, and found a couple that seem to help. My new recipe I call Towy Red, after my dog. He's a Welsh Springer Spaniel, and has spots this color. He's named after the River Towy in Wales (rhymes with Howie). Then I tried different irons. I tried black iron, yellow iron, and 5 different reds, including Spanish Red. I found that the redder it was before it was fired, the redder it would be after. The best I have found so far has been an iron from Pfizer that is bright red-orange raw. I'm almost out, and don't know where to get more. Any suggestions? The Spanish Red I got from a local supplier, and it's earthy red-brown. I've been told that what I got was not real Spanish Red. Is this true? Where can I get the real stuff? To get the red, you need a lot of calcium, and almost as much, but not more, magnesium. All of these iron reds have a very high silica/ alumina ratio, at least 20 to 1, some as high as 100 to 1. Of course they run like the Energizer Bunny, but I only use them on tile. submitted by: Paul Lewing e-mail: PJLewing@aol.com Glaze name: Red Vals Cone: 5 - 6 Color: tan Testing: Surface: Firing: oxidation Recipe: Flint 29.70 EPK 4.95 Feldspar 19.80 Talc 13.86 Gerstley borate 31.68 Iron oxide 2.97 Rutile 2.97 Comments: Not really red.

Original recipe (Cone 9-10): Mixed hard wood ash 35 Oxford spar 35 China clay 15 Talc 15 I fire in an electric kiln. I would never describe it as a foolproof glaze, but if applied with care, it's so beautiful that it just knocks out all the reliable competition. I bisque at ^06 and am now firing at ^6. I have gone to ^9, but that seems to present more problems with pinholing and crazing. Also, I wash the ash. I have also used the same recipe with unwashed ash. The difference is that I would describe the unwashed ash glaze as stony matt and the washed ash glaze as opaque satin matt. Haven't tried this recipe at a lower temperature.

We weighed out a 2000 gram batch. It should have turned out to be a deep glossy burgundy red; instead, to our horror, it turned out dark reddish-brown, but dry matt and somewhat orange-peeled. I fired again, thinking it had underfired ... Same result. This leads me to wonder if either: 1) My solution for weighing out large quantities on my Ohaus Triple-Beam weigh scale is at fault: I compensate for the light plastic bucket placed on the scale in lieu of the pan by suspending a small bag of pennies and paperclips on one of the front prongs then adjust to balance. How do the rest of you weigh out large batches using the Triple Beam? or 2) Could there have been something wrong with the Red Iron Oxide? I say this because the finished surface is so rough and dry and bubbly/pebbly, it almost looks as though the glaze was saturated with iron, which in my experience usually acts as a flux rather than a refractory ingredient. I would really appreciate feedback on both of these possibilities, as perhaps all the test resutls I have done using my own formulas might be based on my own possibly misguided solution for weighing (meaning that noone else would be able to reproduce any of my formulas if I were to share them) and/or also as I don't want to use this iron supply in my own formulas if it's bad. submitted by: Nancy Warren e-mail: nwarren@julian.uwo.ca Glaze name: Rowe brown Cone: 6 Color: brown Testing: Surface: semi-gloss Firing: Recipe: Colemanite 50.00 EPK 20.00 Flint 30.00 Manganese dioxide 5.00 Red iron oxide 10.00 Comments: Hello Anne, This is a neat brown semi-gloss for cone 6.

Recently, a glaze recipe for satin black was posted here with a request for revision to C6 brown in oxidation. Here is such a recipe. C6 Base Glaze, oxidation or reduction Add 2-5% iron oxide red for browns; 1-2% Cobalt carbonate for blues; 2-4% Copper carbonate for greens. Try other colourants for variation. On some bodies, the glaze may require a 30-minute soaking. The Seger formula for the revision above is: CaO 0.51; MgO 0.24; KNaO 0.25; Al2O3 0.40; SiO2 4.10 which places the glaze in the middle of the 3-7 cone range. The glaze will be glossy Ratio = 10.3 and it should fit most stoneware bodies, perhaps even some porcelaineous stonewares since the Expansion coefficient is 6.6x10-6. The original glaze as cited was relying on the high level of colourant oxides to help bring it closer to balance but it would be overfired at C9 (if the body fails to release silica to the glaze).

This glaze is more satin than matt, however, additions of epk should give you what you want. The expansion number for this glaze is very low, but I think there is more chance of crazing than shivering. I don't know why but probably the high iron content increases the co-e of expansion. To increase matt 2-4 more parts of epk will probably do.

(Sorry for the delay) It works over the Amaco Reward Velvet Underglazes, including reds, purples, etc. I will post the original recipe and then add my revisions. OK. The above glaze crazed on my A.R.T. #135 porcelain at cone 6. Being absolutely non-technical, I stumbled in to the following substitution: I substituted calcined kaolin (comercial name Glomax, from A.R.T.) for the EPK. I also substituted Amorphous Silica for the Flint. I don't use C.M.C. I do add Flocs...it settles out. It is glossy and very clear. My samples from two/three years ago still look good, no delayed crazing. I don't use it on anything, because I found a whole palette of glazes while I was looking for a good clear, and have lost interest in underglaze decorating. The pursuit was interesting, though ;-) I found the Pemco Frit 626 through Trinity supply in Texas. I do not know about substitutes. submitted by: Candice Roeder e-mail: CRoeder@worldnet.att.net source for original recipe: James Chappell Glaze name: Shaner Revision Cone: 5-6 Color: Testing: Surface: Firing: Ox. or Red.

It works wonderfully..I mix up a 5 gallon pail of it, then put smaller amounts in jars and add mason stains to different jars to get the colors i want - I really don't measure, just add enough by sight until it looks right. One of those small sample packets (1/4 ounce?) usually does great in a cottage cheese container filled with the white slip. Then I brush the slip on green pots, let it dry overnight if it's humid summer in northern Wisconsin, or cover with plastic overnight if the woodstove is on...the waiting makes the carving through the slip give a nicer line I feel. Once my drawings are done, I bisque, then cover with a clear glaze and fire to cone 7 or 8. the nice thing about this slip recipe is that it is good for cones 6-11, and it's true because I've used it in my electric kiln at 6 and my wood kiln at 12!

One might wish to substitute magnesium carbonate for the barium especially for use on functional ware. SIGNIFICANT INGREDIENTS IN THE GLAZE gertsley borate is a flux, it contributes boron and sodium to the glaze and it encourages very strong melts. Kaolin contributes silica and alumina and it has few impurities, is highly refractory, controls the glaxe flow and it is neutral in color but contributes to a mat surface. Lithium carbonate is a powerfull flux and it encourages shiny surfaces and produces glazes with strong visual textures. This glaze contains a great deal of lithium, such glazes may flake off of the ware and one should not use more then 5%. Neph syn is a feldspar, it contributes silica, alumina and powerfull fluxes to the glaze. Tin is an opacifier. Zinc is a flux and in moderate amounts it is a storng melter and encourages good glaze durability. This is a high alumina glaze which shall have a rather modest glaze flow. It will be a soft white matt or a satin matt. Without barium it may be more towards the satin matt texture. Harold J.

Here are a couple of standards from the Richmond Potters Club, and a few of my own formulation that have worked well in ^6 oxidation. They aren't revolutionary (my exciting ones have things like barium in them, or are less predictable for a classroom situation) but they have been reliable, and allow for some play. They all calculate out to well within the INSIGHT limit formulas for maturity at ^6. If anyone tests these and comes up with problems, new ideas, good variations etc. could they let me know?

It only makes a little difference. I do only tile, and don't spray this. I've spent the last 3 years working on cone 5 iron red glazes, starting with Randy's Red, and I've found some things that work to make it redder. I started by taking each ingredient, cutting it down, and gradually adding it back till I had double the amount in the recipe. I found some adjustments that work. Then I researched adding other ingredients in various amounts, and found a couple that seem to help. My new recipe I call Towy Red, after my dog. He's a Welsh Springer Spaniel, and has spots this color. He's named after the River Towy in Wales (rhymes with Howie). Then I tried different irons. I tried black iron, yellow iron, and 5 different reds, including Spanish Red. I found that the redder it was before it was fired, the redder it would be after. The best I have found so far has been an iron from Pfizer that is bright red-orange raw. I'm almost out, and don't know where to get more. Any suggestions? The Spanish Red I got from a local supplier, and it's earthy red-brown. I've been told that what I got was not real Spanish Red. Is this true? Where can I get the real stuff? To get the red, you need a lot of calcium, and almost as much, but not more, magnesium. All of these iron reds have a very high silica/ alumina ratio, at least 20 to 1, some as high as 100 to 1. Of course they run like the Energizer Bunny, but I only use them on tile. submitted by: Paul Lewing e-mail: PJLewing@aol.com Glaze name: Tracy Wilson's Clear Cone: 5 - 6 Color: clear Testing: Surface: shiny Firing: Recipe: Nepheline syenite 45.00 Colemanite 25.00 Kaolin 15.00 Silica 15.00 Bentonite 3.00 Comments: The clear was lovely over the white slip but pinholed majorly over the blue. The blue had been poured on over my cream clay body plainsman M-340. Well if anyone can let me know why the pinholing on the blue that would be great (I suspect it must be a cobalt annoyance or something because the clear glaze was o.k on the white slip and on the regular clay itself).

I have 2 recipes for glazes a pottery teacher gave me. We call them Brilliant Matt Purple and Brilliant Matt Turquoise. They are volatile so be very careful with your kiln shelves. There is Barium Carbonate in the recipes, so they are poisonous whilst in the raw state. Please wear masks and gloves and if possible work at an extractor fan. I just put a normal fan pointing out the window and work behind it. I hear from production potters that Barium can leach thru your skin. Be careful and practise Good Safety Habits. As you can see they both use the same ingredients, but in different proportions. I have a friend / customer (they usually become friends) who is a production potter (with a 200 cubic foot parafin fired kiln), who uses the BMT and is delighted with it. He fires to cone 6 (1200/1220 C)You have to watch your application thickness to get the result you want.

I am suggesting that midfire potters not use this Maryland glaze for food containers. It doesn't have enough silica to keep the copper properly bound when faced with food acids.

I got it from Veronica Shelford on Thetis Island, BC. I really like this glaze. I have used it on two different clay bodies. On a red colored high iron clay it was dark chocolate with golden flecks throughout. The stayed put and did not run. Beautiful. On Cone-5 B-mix from Laguna Clay, fired to cone 6, it ran just a bit. Georgeous effect....flecks of gold in a translucent caramel color. Some crazing. Suggest you test on vertical surfaces tall enough to significantly test the running quality. Could really make a mess on a shelf. Also, a caution about the mixture. I found that once the ingredients are mixed it needs to be used right away. If allowed to sit unused for even two or three days, 6-sided crystals begin to grow. These could be a problem, altering the glaze and the way it performs. Enjoy. John Rodgers in Alabama inua@quicklink.net more: Back in August, Veronica Shelford posted the following formula for V's Tenmoku Gold (cone 6 ox) to Clayart She described it as her own variation on the Richmond (BC) Potters' Club Red Tenmoku and having gold flecks on a red-brown base. I tried it on a warm brown clay body and really like the results. For me, at ^6, it is a very deep, glossy chocolate brown with gold flecks. Because of unintentional uneven temps in subsequent firings, I have found that at ^5 the glaze is rich, glossy brown with more dense patches of a more matt gold haze, and at ^7 the gold disappears and the result was glossy dark brown with breaks of medium tan on high spots. The ^5 and ^7 results were obtained after adding 5% flint to the original formula to try to correct some flowing and crazing. Just thought this might be of some interest to those experimenting with Tenmoku glazes in oxidation.

This glaze produced a misty affect, which I believe Eleanora Eden(?) was after some time ago. It was applied to Miller #15 Cone 6 Porcelain bisque. I fired to Cone 6 using an Orton Cone 7 centered in kiln sitter with no Guard Cones. The glaze was much as described by V.C. The semi-opacity produces a misty appearance over underglaze. The underglaze I used in the test was Duncan C154, Cobalt Navy Blue. After painting the UG onto the bisque, I re-fired to Cone 06. The glaze was applied over this in 1 & 2 coats by dipping, then fired to Cone 6. The underglaze showed through 1 or 2 coats with a better contrast under 2 coats. Lettering painted in underglaze onto the bisque showed through the glaze quite clearly. However, carving into the porcelain (also stoneware) clay surface was completely or partially obliterated under this glaze. If you carve designs onto a pot which will be covered by this glaze, you'll need to take measures not to let the carved marks be blocked back out. (Remove or prevent the glaze from covering areas where you want the carving to show.) Wax resist is harder to work with for this glaze, so I'd consider scratching or scraping off unwanted glaze. Fired to maturity, the glaze didn't run back into letters created by scratching into the raw glaze. In fact, where the scratched-in letters appeared over the dk. blue UG, they showed up very clearly, retaining a crisp edge. They stood out better against 2 coats (rather than 1) of glaze. This looks promising as a handy way to work with lettering or linear design. I got delayed crazing from this glaze over the Miller #15. None in evidence yet over Miller #55, which is a buff-white. stoneware, Cone 6-9 (this clay body doesn't perform well in microwave ovens). There also was some slight cratering of the glaze on Miller #15 where applied thickly. When 2 light coats of this glaze were poured over 2 light coats of Spinach Green, it was transmuted into an attractive semi-matt, waxy Lettuce Green (voila- a vitreous tossed salad. Come to think of it, I had one of those at Red Lobster not too long ago. There was lots of sand in it.). The base for Spinach Green, originally a Richard Behrens glaze, has been used by Peter King (see CM 12/85, p.36). It has a wide Cone range, incl.

ALberta slip: At cone 9 Alberta by itself it makes a rich chocolate brown. It's too refractory to work at cone 6 by itself, I was told, so I didn't test it.I added 30% Gerstley borate which was the wrong thing to do, as Alberta is very glassy to begin with, but I had intended to test at cone 6 as well so I tested for both 6 and 9. I didn't really like the result at cone 6 with the gerstley, as it was a frosty transparent olive green (at cone 9 it was a RUNNY transparent olive green. Adding Manganese or cobalt to the Alberta slip would probably give a really nice black. What I left out in making this one was Gerstley 10 (Rob uses Colemanite), but what I ended up with was a stony black with very tiny brown specks. Tends to crawl if too thick. Rob's recipe was great too, and that one SHOULD be thick, he says.

They are quite versatile. These recipes are from Zakin's book on Electric Kiln Ceramics. Some of the clays used in the recipe are coarse and the slip should not be strined. The result will be a coarse, sandy-textured surface, not for functional pieces. They may be applied by dipping, spraying or brushing. They may be applied to greenware or bisqued ware. They may be used alone or with stains and glazes. The appearance when fired is soft and sandy.

Some- times bright yellow, sometimes browner depends on mineral content of the ash which varies from wood to wood. Darker and more opaque where thin goes to almost black. Yellow where thicker. Keep glaze thin or you will be scraping shelves. Becomes transparent yellowish brown and very fluid when thickly applied. The mid way thin/thick of application is mottled like a salt fired piece and is satin matte. But I got great reds, yellows, browns, blacks on pieces where it's thinner. To make tiny rivers of ash I make the same glaze substituting Red Art for the Ochre and trail it on with a slip trail bulb. Caution: use rubber gloves with unwashed ash glazes or face the possibility of contact dermatitis. It will mildly burn the skin. I keep Cornhuskers lotion and Hydrocortisone cream around the house anyway. I layer it with a glossy, glassy glaze that by itself has its own problems like keeping me up at night to the sound of loudly cooling and crazing *pings* I use a glaze with wood ash. I don't wash the ash, but I do screen it. The woodash has to be soft, white, fluffy. Not from a wood kiln! That kind is sintered and won't get the best results. You can tell it will feel crispy at first. I'm not taking responsibility for anyone using these glazes, etc. Something is probably toxic. They are examples of my research and they work out in formulation. Which is what they are examples of. So go formulate your own non-toxic glazes, if that is possible. It's probably bad for the environment too. Email me with questions as to household performance, as that may be indicative of other problems. The badly crazed surfaces are not considered to be a continous-non porous sanitary surfaces.

Use one of the GlazeBase submission formats available on the CeramicsWeb web page. comments: Use unwashed fireplace ash. Doesn't add to 100 because of the strontium/barium substitution, the bentonite, and the ash. This may be closer to cone 5 than cone 6 but seems to work over a range of a couple cones. This is Zakin's GK base with 15% unwashed, mixed fireplace ashes, with strontium substituted for barium and superpax for opax. By itself over porcelain, the glaze is not particularly interesting. But other glazes on top of it run and drip and blend together nicely. I've found that if I glaze the lower 2/3 or 3/4 of a pot with a well-behaved glossy glaze, brush a coat of this ZGK ash glaze on the top 1/3 or so and then brush or dip some third glaze on top of the ash glaze, I get a nice pattern of runs that don't go off the bottom of the pot onto the kiln shelf (usually). Different glazes give different kinds of runs and bands of different glazes are interesting too. The few times I tried a matte glaze on the bottom, the pots cracked. Could have been coincidence. But I've been sticking with glossy glazes on the bottom since then. submitted by: Janet Price e-mail: jprice@kzoo.edu Glaze name: Satin Dixon Revised Alyssa Welch Cone: 6 Color: Testing: Surface: Gloss Firing: Oxidation Transparency: Transparent Recipe: Dolomite 7.40 Frit 3124 6.20 Whiting 18.30 Nepheline syenite 20.50 Kaolin 20.40 Flint 27.20 Comments: Glaze name: Nutmeg Richard's Cone: 6 Color: Brown Testing: Surface: Satin matt Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Magnesium matt Transparency: Opaque Recipe: Dolomite 23.30 Spodumene 23.30 Kentucky OM #4 23.30 Silica 23.30 Frit 3134 6.80 Red iron oxide 1.10 Yellow ochre 3.20 Tin oxide 4.90 Bentonite 1.90 Comments: From Bill Van Gilder Glaze name: Base Van Gilder Cone: 6 Color: Testing: Surface: Gloss Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Mid-fire Transparency: Transparent Recipe: Custer feldspar 20.00 Frit 3134 20.00 Wollastonite 20.00 Silica 20.00 EPK 20.00 Comments: Glaze name: Green Dragon Matt Cone: 6 Color: Turquoise Testing: Surface: Matt Firing: Oxidation Glaze type: Zinc matt Crystals: Small Flow: Extreme Recipe: Whiting 18.00 Zinc oxide 8.00 Cornwall Stone 22.00 Soda spar 44.00 EPK 3.00 Bentonite 5.00 Titanium dioxide 4.00 Copper carbonate 4.00 Comments: Good with Ash Fresca over Green Dragon.
