looking for ^6 red & purple

updated thu 31 oct 96

 

K. Lorensen on thu 19 sep 96

A studio I am involved in is in the process of
shifting from ^10 to ^6 and is trying to put
together a "menu" of glazes to be used by
students and studio potters. I am told that it
is possible to get RED at ^6 (I thought that
wasn't possible). We are also lacking in any
purples. If anyone has recipes to share in
this regard we would most appreciate.

Thank you,

Oops! I seem to have forgotten to include that the red and
purple glaze recipes I am seeking are for electric ^6 oxidation.
Sorry for the oversight, and thanks to all who offered
tips on where I might find such recipes!

Carie---Good Luck--Let me know if you find one----try artificial reduction
with copper carbonate as a colorant- 1.5% and tin about 3% -among the rest
of your cone 6 glaze receipt-and use Silicon carbide as the local reduction
agent-Marshall

Wendy--bacically the SiC seeks out oxygen in the glazing material during
the firing and therefore also acts a reducing agent for the colorant --in
this case the copper carbonate--so hopefully you get the metallic colors of
the copper and not the oxidized colors of the copper...Marshall

Hi Carie,

I have a very vibrant purple matt that I originally got off of Clayart.
Thank you to the giver of this glaze. I have been enjoying it.

I have found this glaze to be consistent and not run. I have also done
a line blend with different oxides and it can create some nice pale
greens and warm browns. It is called Pike's Oatmeal:
Custer Spar 37.34
Colemanite 12.71
Dolomite 6.41
Talc 13.61
Kaolin 4.5
Flint 22.72
zinc oxide 2.7
total 100
cobalt carbonate 2
(3.5% makes a very strong, darker purple)

Hope your studio enjoys it.

Clayarters:

Here's another Copper Red Glaze for cone 6:

Oxblood (from Ceramicsweb or Gopher I can never remember)

Neph Sy 55.33
Gerstley Borate 12.61
Whiting 10.71
Silica 21.35
100.00

Copper Carb .39
Tin Ox .99

A caveat. I fire this glaze to cone 6-7 in a reducing atmosphere,
however this is a soda firing. It comes out a beautiful crimson red.

In the soda firing process I use I am very influenced by the work
Christopher Staley did in the eighties. In addition to clays, slips, and
stains I use glazes for color. Amazing what soda does to a glaze.

Someone responded to this request with a purple egg plant semi glass formula.
I was looking very forward to trying it out and then. . . . .it blew out the
window of my car on interstate 40. It was a cone 6 ox. I would greatly
appreciate it if someone could forward it to me. Thanks.

Wendy Hampton on fri 18 oct 96

Here is the glaze as it was sent

This is a semi gloss eggplant purple glaze given to me by a nice person I
met at a glaze workshop:

45.7 Soda Feldspar
15.2 Flint
12.7 Talc
12.9 Gerstley Borate
9.0 Dolomite
4.5 EPK

Add:
1.0 Bentonite
2.0 Cobalt Carbonate
5.0 Manganese Carbonate

I particularly like it on the warm brown clay that I normally use.

Here is the recipe you requested. I tested it in my kiln. It had a lovely
but was not really purple, more dark blue. Maybe that was because I didn't
and subed man. dioxide. Anyway here it is.

EGGPLANT

soda spar 45.7
flint 15.2
talc 12.7
gerstley borate 12.9
dolomite 9.0
EPK

add
bentonite 1.0
cobalt carb. 2.0
manganese carb. 5.0

Hope you like it! Terri Storer
