Hello,
I am very interested in producing landscapes etc on majolica and would
like to have as accurate a drawing as possible. I intend to use cobalt
and possibly a mixture of cobalt and manganese on a tin glaze. I seem
to recall having heard somebody talking about sintering before painting,
or low firing the pieces to be decorated after they had been glazed with
the tin glaze which would produce a harder surface to decorate on as
opposed to the powdery surface you normally have.
That way you could have better details and then fire again to maturity.
Is there anybody out there who has done this before? and if so what
temperature to you use for sintering, maturing etc, what glazes...
stains, any information would be appreciated.
I use a Daphne Carnegi recipe which matures at 1060 C and work with
tiles.
Thanks.

Lisette:
Faraday Sredle in Phoenix does something like what you discribe, but I
can't remember the temp that she sintered to. It may have been a simple
^018.

Hello,
I have tried sintering maiolica glaze at Orton cone 018 and found it
much easier to paint on the surface and retain detail. The glaze is
still somewhat powdery at this temperature and next time I plan on
sintering at 015 to see if it's a bit harder but still absorbent enough
to hold the stains. We use Mason stains mixed with Ferro Frit 3124,
mixed with CMC solution, glycerin, liquid starch, Flocs, and whatever
else seems to give some suspension and brushability. Good brushes
matter a great deal for maiolica painting. You'll have to test what
works best for your own glaze. The raw oxides mixed with gerstley
borate also work well. Good luck.

Hi,
In response to the question about sintering on majolica before painting on
it, according to Terry Siebert you can pre-fire to cone 018. I haven't tried
this, but I took a workshop with Terry where she explained it. She said she
does it when she has a lot of intricate painting to do.
Just for your information, her glaze recipe is:
ferro frit 3124 72
flint 10
epk 12
zircopax 10
Apply to 04 bisque, and glaze fire to 04.
Good luck, and let us know if you try the sintering.
