Brian, John and all others looking for PURPLE
Purple Raku (Have one small piece I'm firing tomorrow, will post results.)
Percent Amounts
Spodumene 35
Gerstley borate 60
Ball clay 5
Add: Manganese carbonate 3
Tin oxide 5
That's all I know about this one until tomorrow.
___________________________________________
^10 reduction suggestion: Vivian's Red/Purple/Green listed on GlazeBase as a
^6 oxidation green, ^6 reduction blood red and reduction ^10 BEAUTIFUL
PURPLE.
My experience for a "nice"(somewhat pale) purple is to apply thick.
___________________________________________
Share results if you try these. Would love to experiment with something
along the lines of VIOLET if anyone has any suggestions.

Neither plum nor purple :o(
My results are very limited (only one small piece so far). . .
It was a pale mauve (nice but not what I was looking for)
"I won't give up!"
