Thanks to the nice people at A.R.T. Studio Clay Company, I have just tested their Glazwerks Maiolica colors on top of my standard white majolica base (listed in the Majolica and Lowfire handout here.) The tile was fired at 200 deg/hr to a cone 04 visual at about 3 o’clock (about 1950 deg F at this ramp). If you have a kiln sitter, that would be an 03 sitter cone. Right side is a double coat. The results look good – a workable substitute for the discontinued AMACO GDC colors. Yay! See the tile below. I tested 10 of the colors. The remaining test were mixes of colors. Product is listed in their catalog on page 12:

Now that A.R.T. is gone. Where can any idea where we can find the Glazeworks Maiolica lead free glazes? Ceramic Supply Chicago does not carry these glazes
Wow, I didn’t know A.R.T. was gone. Guess it’s Mayco Stroke and Coat or mix your own. I’m pretty much mixing my own.
I see online that Standard Ceramics is acquiring A.R.T., so they would be the people to ask: http://www.artclay.com/ARThome.html
especially love the melon, Med. Blue and Barcelona blue. Can’t wait to try them out. Hard to fall in love again after the GDC’s love affair. ..just saying
