I am a begining potter. I have admired and purchased pots with glazes
near the rims that flow down over another glaze on the rest of the
pot. Does anyone have a combination of glazes that they use to produce this
runny-flowing effect in the cone 6-7 range? I would appreciate any
advice or recipes you can share.

I use the following glaze to induce drips and runs on small porcelain vases.
I dip the bottom 2/3 or so of the vase in one glaze, brush the following
glaze on the top 1/3 or so and then brush another glaze or two over it
in in contrasting colors. I fire in oxidation to cone 5 or 6. You'll
have to experiment with the thickness of the glaze. It has worked well
for me with a variety of glazes.
On top of another glaze, this glaze sometimes produces a mottled stoney
look. I've not found it to be particularly interesting by itself.
Zakin's GK plus ash and strontium subbed for barium
18 frit 3124
7 magnesium carbonate
10 nepheline syenite
11 strontium
15 spodumene
10 EPK
13 whiting
12 superpax
15 mixed unwashed fireplace ashes
1 bentonite
This doesn't add up to 100 (without the ashes) because of the
substitution of strontium for barium.

Hi, I have a beautiful blue glaze fired at ^6, oxidation that I have used for
years. Apply thin about 1/2 inch from bottom to avoid drips onto shelf.
Hope this works for you.

Can one of you glaze gurus out there please convert this to ^10? I fire in
oxidation and am very curious to see what this glaze looks like. I have no
formal ceramic education; and dyslexia prevents me from using formulas. OR
do any of you have a ^10 floating blue recipe that they would share with me??
TIA

I guess I'm not a guru but why don't you fire at cone 6. If the body is
vitreous the ware can be just as strong. Saves energy too!

Im no guru but you can start by cutting out the kaolin adn cutting the
silica in half then do a blending of the original glaze with the new one and
see what happens .
annother possiblity is to mix th original with a base that melts in the temp
you like and see what happens good luck.
