Anyone:
If you have a recipe for cone 6 oxy. burgundy and deep
green I would appreciate it if you would share them with me.
Thanks

Here's a recipe for the burgundy glaze I use. I'm still working on the green.
Glaze name: Richard Burkett's Cr/Sn Pink-to-Burgundy Glaze
Cone: 4 - 5 - 6
Color: semi-opaque pink to burgundy
Testing: Tested
Surface texture: shiny
Firing: Oxidation
Glaze type: Ca B
Recipe: Percent Batch
Gerstley Borate 20.68 1034
Nepheline Sye. 16.29 814
EPK 11.34 567
Whiting 19.52 976
Flint 32.16 1608
Totals: 100.00 % 5000 gm
For burgundy, add: 12% Deep Crimson Mason Stain, or .15% (yes, that's
"point one five" percent) Green Chrome Oxide and 5% Tin Oxide
It's a beautiful rich burgundy gloss. I've never had it crawl or run and
I"ve used it on a variety of clay bodies. Using stain rather than the
oxides allows for easier batch-to-batch color repeatability, but I don't
think the color is as rich as when using the oxides..
Regards, Greg

Wallace, I have a good base glaze recipe for ^6 that accepts all Mason
stains well. You might want to try it.
Whiting 20%
Frit 3134 26%
Nepheline Syenite 26%
Kaolin 15%
Silica 15%
Bentonite 1%
Add up to 10% Mason Stains for color. You might want to experiment with
the amounts.
I also add about 2% epsom salts to this one to keep it from becoming the
consistency of primal goo on the bottom of the glaze bucket. The epsom
salts seem to work the best of anything I have ever tried to keep this one
in suspension. This glaze recipe was given to me by a fellow potter and it
has been very dependable.

Is this recipe a matte or a gloss. I'm interested in a matte
burgundy for oxidation.

The ^6 base glaze for Mason stains (burgundy and deep green) has been both
a matte and a gloss. My friend gave me the recipe and in his Olympic Oval
at ^6 the glaze is most definitely a matte. In my Skutt 1027 on a long
slow fire, the glaze is almost always a gloss. Good luck in your
experiments with it.
