Does anyone have a glaze that is or looks very much like the glaze on Ken
Ferguson's casserole on page 58 of the current (June) CM. I'm not
promising the rights to my firstborn, but I'd sure be grateful!
Later...Dave

Dear Dave:
I have been using a glaze for a number of years, off and on, that looks
almost exactly like the glaze on the Ken Ferguson casserole on page 58 of
Ceramics Monthly's current issue. The recipe was originally given to me by a
fine potter by the name of Annie Williquer who I had become acquainted with
in the Ventura County Potter's Guild in California where I used to live.
This glaze must be applied over a clay that will "spot" such as rod's bod.
Thicker application will give more opaque, lighter ochre-colored areas and
thinner gives more browns. This glaze "breaks" darker over textures and must
be fired in at least medium reduction or more.

applications give a lighter ochre color and thinner applications give the
darker rusty brown shades. This glaze "breaks" darker over textures. Don't
mix up more than you can use over a period of a month or two because the
results seem to alter somewhat as the glaze ages a bit. The glaze must be
fired in a medium to a heavy reduction to get the results you want.
OATMEAL GLAZE - Cone 10 - Reduction
Feldspar 490
Dolomite 190
E.P.K. 200
Whiting 40
Tin oxide 40
Zircopax 80
Yellow Ochre 20
(Total comes to 1060 grams)
Enjoy!

Dave,
This used to do what you are looking for, but it's been years, so test!
glaze name: Smith Spodumene
cone: 10
firing type: reduction
color: white with ornage spots
surface: semimatte
recipe:
Custer Feldspar 30
EPK 25
Dolomite 22
Spodumene 20
Tin Oxide 5
Whiting 3
comments: We used to use a spodumene glaze back in college that when
applied thin, would produce the same results. As the glaze gets thicker, it
turns a fat white with orange to brown spots, the thicker the glaze, the
fewer spots.

I rather suspect that that glaze (CM) is one of Val Cushing's (aren't they
all),
or Alfred's, whichever:
Mamo Matt w/tin
Kona F-4 Feldspar 50.00
Dolomite 20.00 Thin rust, thicker
cream, etc.
Whiting 4.00
EPK 10.00
Calcined Kaolin 11.00
Tin Oxide 5.00

Happy accidents do happen
moving magazines to a new bookcase - the December 93 issue of CM popped open to
page 47 ( the start of a portfolio on the Archie Bray collection)
There was a prime example of a complex set of different effects with the
same (or very similar) glaze.
Beautiful

20.3 Kaolin
6.8 Zircopax
1 RIO
1 Rutile
Will you let us know which is the right one?

Looks to me like a typical matte like Cushing Matte which follows, over a
body with pretty good chunks of Manganese Dioxide in it. This glaze,
probably from Val Cushing, easily dates from that period. Cone 9-10
reduction
Cushing Matte
Custer Feldspar 26
Dolomite 31
Kaolin 31
Whiting 15
Flint 7
I modified it to make one which works at cone 8, and looks good with iron
slips in oxidation or reduction
Sondahl C-4 Matte
