glaze database

Bob, I think,

I tried the programs you suggested for glaze databases. I could get
into them BUT each time I received the message "application timed out"
before I received the info. Any suggestions for correcting this? I
think others on Clayart will want to know, also.

OOPS!

Someone sent me a recommendation for a shareware
glaze program, with a direct link and everything,
and I lost it already. (Yep, I'm a whiz at this
computer stuff.) Could you post it again, please?

Sorry to flake on all the help you offered! I
really am grateful.

Hello Snail,

Could it be GlazeChem? Great program! http://www.dinoclay.com/

If you're interested in checking out other glaze programs, I have a list at
http://www.milkywayceramics.com/links.htm see "Glaze Calculation" drop down
list.

Since there are often many requests for glaze recipes, I was wondering if
the GlazeBase still existed? It was a HUGE and wonderful resource.

happy testing...Lo

Hey Lo,

It IS out there, but dang if I can remember the URL. I do know it's
hard to get to if you go through the SDSU website and try to wade your
way in, but it CAN be done, because that's how I found it last time I
looked.

Lois,
I just tried .....http://grafik.sdsu.edu:591/glazebasesearch.html
with no luck, maybe they shut it down or it was just busy. Is this the
one you were looking for? Mike Gordon

You're right, Lisa.

It IS out there, and can be found via
http://ceramics.sdsu.edu/glazedatabase.html
The glaze database you can download from there appears to be formatted
for use with a variety of glaze formulation software, such as HyperGlaze
or GlazeChem. The version labeled as a text file,
http://ceramics.sdsu.edu/software/caglazes.zip
is indeed a text file but is devoid of user-friendly features such
as carriage returns and other aids to legibility. This may be the same
database one can get at Bob Wilt's dinoclay.com site for use with his
GlazeChem software.

If anyone has bad better luck finding a readable version of the
Glazebase on the SDSU Ceramics Web site, I'd like to know
about it too.

Cheers and happy clay adventures in the new year to y'all,

Don Goodrich

There are some readymade databases available for you
to work with, if you want to take on the project.
The ClayArt Glaze Database at SDSU (that's San Diego State University)
has most of the aspects you mention, and can be downloaded
in a variety of formats:
http://ceramics.sdsu.edu/glazedatabase.html
=20
It and others can also be downloaded via Bob Wilt's GlazeChem
site:
http://www.dinoclay.com/software/glzchem.html

I agree with Don. The GlazeBase is a wonderful resource, as is=20
Bob Wilt's GlazeChem. GlazeChem is a marvelous application,=20
very inexpensive and easy to learn. I use both and have more than 3,000
glazes of all kinds, from raku, through majolica, to mid- and high=20
fire.

(For the record, I have no financial interest=20
in any of Bob Wilt's commercial enterprises.)

Having a database this big is a double-edged weapon, though. =20
I perhaps have TOO many glazes. The glaze buckets are=20
driving me out of my tiny studio, and I have nearly 50=20
gallons of scrap glaze I need to either convert to something=20
useful, or dispose of through HAZMAT channels.

One of my current experiments is finding two or three bases that=20
will do just about all I ask--matt, satin, and gloss. With the
judicious use of colorants, I can then make any color I need.
Ask Mayor Mel. His glaze palette has just a few colors on it,=20
but that's ALL he needs. Other potters I know have a separate
storage warehouse for all their glazes. I suppose I'm still
feeding my curiosity. :o)

BTW: I really have two databases, one electronic, one "hard
copy." I'll copy a promising recipe to a 5 x 8 index card,
and record any successes or failure with the glaze, and any
other developmental notes. If I like the glaze, slip, engobe,
clay body, or colorant mix, I keep the card in a box and add the=20
recipe to my electronic database. One of these days I'll attempt=20
to purge both of duplicates and other junk.

Anyone can download unmanageably large lists of glaze recipes.
The problem is finding those that actually work sensibly. I
strongly recommend that no glaze be entered in such a database
unless it has been tested by a reliable tester and has a cone
rating, reasonably standardized surface and colour
classification, and a space for notes of any problems or special
strengths that the tester encountered with it and any special
firing instructions.

"I have nearly 50 gallons of scrap glaze I need to either convert
to something useful, or dispose of through HAZMAT channels."

That's why I stick 100% to glazes with no materials of toxic
concern in them. Unsuccessful tests can simply get added to my
compost pile.

I've been sitting on my hands trying to decide if I should jump in, because
I wasn't planning to announce it yet, but I've been working on a glaze
database on the www.potterybasics.com website. This website is being set up
as a companion to the PotteryBasics yahoo group (
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/potterybasics/ ) that I moderate. However, the
website is open to everyone, even if you aren't on the email list.

To get to the glaze database you need to register. Right now it's free, but
in the future there may be a very minimal fee to access the glaze database
to cover some of the cost of the software and hosting services for the site.
Currently there are only two entries that I put into the database as a test,
but anyone who registers can submit glaze recipes, complete with photos. It
also allows others to rate and comment on the recipes, so issues like
stability and safety notes can be added.

I thought about uploading a huge database of glazes (I too use GlazeChem),
but my sentiments are the same as John Sankey's that it should be build with
full notes on the glaze and preferably pictures.

I encourage anyone here to check it out, and please let me know if you have
any suggestions on how I can improve it. There are also sections on the site
for pottery book and video reviews, and an area that will hold various
articles on tips and techniques.

I'm a computer professional by trade and enjoy setting this up, but it has
been a bit of a challenge.

Hi Edouard,
I'd love to add those glazes to the PotteryBasics.com database. I bought
GlazeChem some time ago and loaded all of the extra glaze databases from
http://dinoclay.com/software/glzchem.html#extradata at that time. Were your
glazes added to the base database that comes with GlazeChem, or to one of
the other databases?

Alisha,

some are in the GlazeChem file but many more were
available via the Net.
Bob Wilt is actually revamping his site and they
are
not available for the moment.
Let us hope he makes them available later.

The first draft, including Alisa's tests to date, is up:
http://sankey.ws/glazedata.html

Odin Maxwell is mulling over an on-line query system for it.

If anyone would be willing to proofread it against Alisa's posts
in the archives, that would be an immense contribution. I'll
certainly miss a lot, since I entered it all.

I thank Alisa for looking up analyses and sources of her
ingredients that aren't at Digitalfire.

If you have glazes that you have tested, either one that Alisa
has already tested or new ones, email me in roughly the format
Alisa uses. Glaze oxide analyses aren't required, but that of any
ingredient that is neither in oxidedata.html nor Digitalfire is
needed.

Time to take a break, hoping to get newly-arrived decal paper to
work.

John
