In reference to Dan Littman's post about glass as glaze.....
I have used bits of stained glass on the bottoms of pots. I fire to cone
10 reduction. I had interesting outcomes except for the green glass
that I put in the bottom of a white bowl.... looked kinda like a severe
mold problem. The glass melts well before to end of the firing and runs
like crazy, but the colors are beutiful. I have not tried this on
vertical sides or as strictly as a glaze but the thought is intriguing.
The only thing I have to offer is that a little really goes a long way.
The director of the NC pottery center makes me wish that I hadn't choosen
nursing as a major.....

Hi, everybody. A friend of mine is interested in working with melting=
glass on her pots. I shared the following cullet glaze recipe with her:
^2-6, oxidation
Cullet (container glass): 49.01
Redart clay: 6.24
EPK: 9.47
Dolomite: 2.68
Whiting: 21.19
Silica: 11.42
These will be decorative and fountain pieces. She works with a wide-range=
stoneware clay, ^6-^10, and fires in oxidation and reduction.
Any and all advice would be great and very, very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Nina

Dear Nina.
Reduce, re-use and recycle!
I use glass sourced from crushed/smashed up wine and spirit bottles,
which give a range of greens, blues and browns - attractive when mingled
together. These mature at around 1050 - 80 C. but are just as good at
1260C. My students use a lot on plaques and tiles. It's important to
make sure there's a "wall" around an area you want the glass to be, to
restrict the flow. (Particularly important around screw holes on plaques
and tiles)
It's also important to spread the glass closely, but not too thickly,
as this can crack a base when it contracts in cooling, especially if
it's placed in a wide flat base of a container.
Decorative glass pebbles offer a range of colours, but are best smashed
up a bit. One of my student is a professional glass maker and has access
to fabulous, finely ground glass. He has spent a lot of time
experimenting with this,testing it at varying temperatures, pressing
lumps of glass into raw clay ((looking at optimum pressure when pressing
into clay to avoid clay cracking around cullet in the drying stage.)
Lots of trial and error, but as he says, "It's the journey that counts".
I make once-fired, stoneware garden pots and "green men" masks and mix
pools of glass into hollows on the surface, or use it in the eyes!
Ordinary glass used like this does craze, but stays in place and
withstands the elements outside.
