Charlie Cummings [Clay@claylink.com]
One of my studio members was examining Victoria Christen’s earthenware bowls in
our recent Bowl exhibition. http://www.claylink.com/Bowls2006/11christen.html She
noticed that the clear glaze had a slight amber color in thicker areas. 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.

Charlie Cummings [Clay@claylink.com]
This is the base for most of my glazes. 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.

This glaze gives very nice bright colors. Try doing color blends and
I'm sure you will find some scrumptous colors. You may want to use a
white slip first, it brightens the colors. Reminds me of the Tang Dynasty Horses. It will run, so be
careful.
Sculptural use only. Not for functional work!

Note: this re-calculated version seems to fit my terracotta body well. Slight mottled
quality to the glaze. High in Ca and Zn for a lowfire glaze. Would give browns
w/chrome colorants. Base is translucent. Slips show through. Darker pink w/5% crimson
stain than the original base. Also listed as Pink Bubblegum no GB
Orig. notes: This glaze is cheap to make and works well on earthenware at cone 04.
I think it originated with Carlton Ball. If it is to go over a red clay
body, opacify with tin, titanium ( warmer) or zircopax, but its
semi-opaque anyway, and has a nice texture and feel to it. george

RE-calc of Pete Pinnell's Darby's Base w/o GB. Breaks up a bit visually with slight
grey mottliing on the surface. Glossy. Fired in a small kiln, so slower cooling might
make matt, but all of my small kilns cool quickly

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.
*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.
*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
*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

runs excessively. Recipe adapted by Kari Radasch from a Woody Hughes recipe.

notes - screen the glaze well. The original recipe didn't specify
cobalt oxide or carbonate, but the carbonate form is recommended as
it disperses more evenly in the glaze. Also, the recipe specified
Zirconium and this is assumed to mean the silicate - try any
zirconium opacifier.

From Charlie Cummings [Clay@claylink.com]
This body was formulated to be very plastic. 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.

Denser than a talc body. Suitable for functional work and sculpture.
Fire functional work at least to 03 for density and durability. Can
fire as high as cone 3. Gritless. Pure white. Good for throwing and
handbuilding, joins aggressively, few problems drying and firing.
Above cone 1 quite vitreous and suitable for functional ware. From
Bill Brouillard.
Note from Arbuckle: neph sy will tend to deflocculate this body and
make it rubbery.

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

Charlie Cummings [Clay@claylink.com] This glaze is perfectly clear if applied
extremely thin. If you put it on slightly too thick, it will blister. It also
settles to stone in the bucket. A great glaze if you spray.

From Woody Hughes article CM J/J/A 93, haven't tried it. Aside from the slow
cooling, the top one works great for me. I usually dip, a fairly thin coat. Works
ok stilted, although I usually wax my bottoms. No trouble running, unless it's
really thick. I have also learned to keep it away from my vent holes in the lid
for my kiln vent, there were popped bubble marks on the cups right under the
holes. refiring took care of it. Michelle Campbell Lacka Creek Pottery

Walter Ostrom notes: Ian uses this as a thick semi-matt glaze. He add Li and
cryolite to flux the glaze and "soften" commercial underglazes.
Note: Cryolite contains F which can degrade kiln interior and give off hazardous
fumes. Lithium carb will deflocculate the glaze. Add Epsom salts to flocculate.

From Pottery Making Illus Nov./Dec. 2012. Nice to dip or brush. "Fired to c 04 on
105G Standard Ceramics clay w/gorgeous results." Slightly hazy on Highwater
Earthen Red - better at c 02. Tested: Used M23 ball in place of OM4. Glossy,
clear, traps bubbles (milky) where very thick, but6 good surface and clarity from
thin to average thick. With 60% frit and a decent amount of clay in the recipe,
it's easier to apply than higher frit % glazes (which demand to be on unusually
thin).Very high Ca for lowfire. Glaze should be sturdy, but no flow, so
application is important.

Comments:
From Digitalfire.com, using Frit 3249, which melts around 1900 deg F and contains
Magnesium in a more meltable form than using non-frit sources. Low thermal
expansion helps counter crazing. Late start of glaze fusion allows more gasses to
escape before glaze skins over. Glaze described as "transparent and brilliant" on
a 80 Redart, 20 ball clay body.

CrO + 3 frit 3124 + 1/2 bent by vol. trailed over as a decoration, green w/black

Comments:
Color probably comes from traces of chrome in the dark rutile suggested which
makes for chrome-tin pinking. If your rutile does not flash, add a trace (.25%?)
chrome.Not balanced as a food-safe glaze. Breaks at edges. Good base for color
tests for sculpture use.
TJ Erdahl tested and used this glaze w/many variations. Drew Avakian did tests
and the re-brown w/green looks great and breaks well.
Variations --
Dirty White: nickel 1 + titanium 5 Light Grey-Green: rutile 10 + ilmenite 6
Brown: RIO 8 + ilmenite 6 Muted Whitish-Green: chrome oxide 0.75 + vanadium 7.5
Red brown w green when thick: copper oxide 1.5 + RIO 6 rust to cream - rust thin,

Lumpy, curdled look. Borax will form crystals over time - sieve them out, and
re-dissolve in hot water, or microwave them in a small amount of water. Use a mortar
and pestle or ball mill in you need to crush remaining crystals. Looks good thin -
like foam - over Amber Assault glaze. Thick and it makes craters. NOT for food.

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

RE-calc of Pete Pinnell's Darby's Base w/o GB. Breaks up a bit visually with slight
grey mottliing on the surface. Glossy. Fired in a small kiln, so slower cooling might
make matt, but all of my small kilns cool quickly

From Charlie Cummings Sometimes shiny, sometimes matte. 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.

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.

From Charlie Cummings Unlike magnesium based glazes, this glaze gives good color
response with cobalt, copper, iron and some commercial stains. All of the cool
kids add dish liquid to the glaze, whip it to a froth, and dip pots in it. The
bubbles dry out and leave their structure behind. (Ok, so none of the cool kids
did it. It was just me.)
Note: orig glaze calls for synthetic bone ash

My recipe for a low fire lichen glaze is as above. I usually apply it
by blotting it on with a brush. Long strokes tend to line up the
scales. It works well at 06, but if you find that it's too dry or
fugitive, increase the zinc. An addition of 5% copper carb yields a
green lizard skin. submitted by: Thomas E. Lee e-mail:

Can be brushed on. Some glaze may flake in firing. After firing scrape or
sandblast to remove loose glaze. You can bees' wax and then torch to set/remove
some of the wax. Often looks best fired multiple times. Neph sy wash will
prevent flaking. From Darren Emenau via Ceramic Arts Network.

From Charlie Cummings Yep, it grows crystals. 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. Specifically, the chrome and the iron
versions would blister. I think it may have something to do with the large amount
of zinc in the glaze...or I may be superstitious.

Comments:
Very white opaque viscous glaze. Make sure all trimmed areas are ribbed smooth, or
pinholing may result. Glaze thickness is an issue. Too thick an application may
produce white dotting thru colored surface decoration, and/or pinholing.
Suggested colorants: Frit 3124 1 + 1/2 bentonite + copper, cobalt, or iron 1 by
volume. Refractory colorants 2-3 frit 3124 + 1/2 bentonite + 1 rutile, or chrome.
Most stains 2-3 frit + 1/2 bentonite + 1 stain. Do not use body stains like Mason
6020 pink, Ti yellow, or Lavender as they are too refractory and will pig-skin.

This glaze is based on the fine research done by Linda Arbuckle and everyone who
contributed to her handout I picked up at a workshop in 1994 or 95 in KY. My
studio members tested many variations and combinations before settling on this
glaze. It is surprisingly well behaved. The stains recipes are our concoctions.

smooth, or pinholing may result. Glaze thickness is an issue. Too thick
an application may produce white dotting thru colored surface decoration,
and/or pinholing.
Glaze moves slightly at cone 03.

Comments:
Reformulated from a Ric's Majolica which used frit P-311 or 3124.
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).

For decorating mix 25% stain or oxide with 75% frit 3124 (adjust for
refractoryness of oxide or stain) and a tablespoon of liquid laundry
starch. Generally fired to 04. Optional pre-fire to 018 to harden
base glaze for easier decorating. For Black majolica, substitute 8%
Mason 6650 stain for the zircopax. Terry says she sometimes sprays a
very thin coat of clear over her majolica. She says it brightens the
colors, but makes a glossier surface. Terry says 06-03

Comments:
I am firing to cone 02. 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). Any ideas why? bob kavanagh (60

Comments:
(from Laura Zindell - a former student at RISD) This is a nice
textural low-fire glaze - fire to 04 for semi-matt, 03 for
semi-gloss. 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.

over this glaze, but I haven't tried it. Just a theory.

http://kariradasch.com/technical *Above you can see the Mossy Green with Icy Blue
*Depending upon your copper and RIO you may have to back off on the percentages
as the glaze can get a little too metallic.
*This glaze looks good on its own and great both over and under Woody’s Icy Blue.

Note: this re-calculated version seems to fit my terracotta body well. Slight mottled

stain than the original base.

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

problems on any of the clays. It takes stains & colorant chemicals

From Pete Pinnell:
Here's the best satin clear I have for cone 04.
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. I don't know
how the gerstley substitutes work, since we still have a stash of the
old stuff.

I did a lot of experimenting with thick slips last year. for
greenware. for a whiter white add 10% zircopax dark green (color will
run with a clear overglaze) 6% copper Note- if the slip dries too
quickly or is applied over long stretches of a rounded surface, it
may crack a little. Glaze will usually fill in the cracks. I use this
slip for decorating with a pastry bag. It is fun to make as it whips
up ( when mixing with a hand-held mixer) and starts to form peaks
like meringue. submitted by: Levine Meg Jessica e-mail:

From Pete Pinnell from an article in Clay Times about slip Spring 2011. The
recipe could be used alone as a base for colors, or with the addition of Zircopax
(10% or so) it is whiter and more opaque. Kaolin could be substituted for up to
half of the ball clay if a whiter surface is desired.

Robin Hopper cites this decorating slip: He says it is useable from
C04 to C12, and if unaltered fires to a 'basic white.' (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! Tom.Buck submitted by: Tom Buck source for original

For thick, brushing slip add 7% zircopax. If mixing thin for dipping, use 15%
zircopax for higher opacity when used thinner. From Kari Radasch in CM J/Jl/Aug 09
Pete Pinnell: if you add stains, add an equal % frit 3124 to counter refractory
nature of most stains. Pete prefers Nytal talc and KT1-4 or Spinks C&C ball clay.

let the kiln cool naturally, no hurrying it along or the glaze crazes

Comments:
I've been working with earthenware the last few months, after not
having done so for many years. 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).
Any ideas why? bob kavanagh (60 km west of montreal)

Re-calc to change frit and Ba. Very high in Mg for lowfire. While this is very
close in unity molecular formula to Transparent Kari's Best, both have a very
large amount of magnesium for a lowfire glaze. I tested with with no Mg carb, and
it's a nice clear, good surface, frosty where thick. With 5 Mg carb it's a nice
satin that is mildly frosty thin to frosty thick, with slips stillshowing on
terracotta and a smooth surface. Buttery to satin matte. With 10 Mg carb, the
glaze is frosty and getting drier in surface - looks underfired at visual c 04.

low fire clear recipe into something that does not become a bucket of jelly, does
not crack on drying, does not go on unevenly or the wrong thickness, does not
cloud up with boron blue or micro-bubbles when fired (because it has lower CaO),
does not craze or shiver (when used on the types of bodies discussed below). The
major development work culminated in the Ulexite-fluxed G2931F. This recipe,
G2931K, was formulated to have the same chemistry as F but use frits instead of
Ulexite to source the boron. The results are excellent, actually stunning! This
one also has even fewer micro-dimples in the fired surface (visible in the light
on very close inspection) and is crystal clear and super glassy.
We have found this works on Plainsman low fires like L212, 215, Terrastone plus
Zero3 stoneware and Zero3 porcelain. It shivers on 50:50 Talc:Ball clay bodies
(like Plainsman L213).

1.html
Code: G2931K This recipe converts the popular Worthington Clear
Gerstley-Borate-based recipe into something much easier to use. While Worthington
melts to a good clear it has serious gelling problems (characteristic of Gerstley
Borate). Normal frits cannot easily source this high level of B2O3 so I have
employed Ulexite to augment (a mineral similar to GB yet gels only slightly).
Another issue with Worthington is shivering and fracturing of ware when glazed
only on the inside (its thermal expansion was too low). This recipe also raises
thermal expansion (by adding Na2O), the result is a glaze that fits a much wider
range of bodies. Worthington also has clouding issues, this yields a more crystal
clear, defect free fired result.
Dipping ware in Zero3 Transparent is just so much easier than trying to paint on
than commercial, slow drying clears. It produces a slurry with very nice
suspension, drying and application properties. It naturally gels (at around 1.4
SG in our lab). It applies very well in an even layer to low or high porosity
bisque (the gel makes it hang on without running or dripping). However the 1.4
specific gravity (which is lower than most stoneware glazes) means that it dries
slower if bisque is dense.
As a clear overglaze to finish your decorated ware, this glaze has a number of
advantages over commercial clear glazes: -It is much less expensive so it is
practical to have a large pail of it so that pieces can be easily dip-glazed
(using dipping tongs). -It behaves like stoneware glazes, it suspends well and
applies in an even layer that can dry to handling stage is seconds. -It fires to
a better crystal clear. -Since the recipe is known, and contains no toxic
materials, you can more confidently assure retailers that it is safe; all
underglaze color decoration is isolated from any contact with food or drink by
this glaze. -It is compatible with most underglaze colors (including pinks).
Pay special attention to the soak-soak-slow cool firing schedule for this glaze,
especially if your clay body is not fine grained.
Note: Later we did find a way to create the chemistry of this glaze using a
combination of frits (look for a link). __________ This recipe converts the

Dipping ware in Zero3 Transparent is just so much easier than trying to paint on
commercial, slow drying clears. It produces a slurry with very nice suspension,
drying and application properties. It naturally gels at around 1.53 specific
gravity (in our circumstances), but we add water to bring it down to about
1.46-1.47 and add Epsom Salts to gel it back up (google glaze thixotropy to learn
more). This produces a slurry that applies very well in an even layer to low or
high porosity bisque (the gel makes it hang on without running or dripping).
However extra water means that it dries slower on dense bisque.

and propylene glycol in this mixture make it thicker and smoother than a slip
containing only water , giving a smoother brushing consistency especially when
applying underglaze to dry greenware or bisqueware . When making this r ecipe:
Dry - mix all the dry ingredients, add about 3/4 o f the underglaze liquid and
blend thoroughly , and then blend in more underglaze liquid a little at a time as
needed until you achieve the desired brushing consistency. You may not need the
full amount of und erglaze liquid .
