looking for mustard yellow glaze?

My friend is looking for a glaze similar to Gulden's mustard. Does
anyone have any place to start. We are both pretty new to this.

Thanks

Hi Marley -
I'm not familiar with Gulden's mustard. But, in cone 6 oxidation, 90%
Alberta slip and 10% dolomite produces quite a pleasant, buttery surfaced,
mustard coloured glaze that breaks to near black at the edges. A darkish
mustard, you understand, say - a russian honey-mustard - not French's hot
dog variety.

an interesting glaze that is ^8 oxidation and don't know what it might do
at ^10 reduction... can check if this is where she is working...

The real question here is, "how hot do you want that mustard?"

I've found in my matt ^04 glaze base that yellow iron oxide--6-8% I
think--gives a nice Guldens brand yellow that breaks red where thin. If ^04
is the target temp, please apprise and I'll dust off the archives for more
particulars.
