Here are a couple of purple/red glazes that I have had good luck with at
cone 10 in reduction:
Durango Purple
Barium Carb - 4.98; Dolomite - 4.97; Gerstley - 4.97; Whiting- 7.96; Zinc
Oxide - 2.49; Custer - 49.75; Flint - 24.88; Tin Oxide - 1; Cobalt Carb -
0.25; Copper Carb - 2.
Cranberry Red
Custer - 73.8; Gerstley - 10.2; Whiting - 11.9; Flint - 4.9; Copper Carb -
0.3; Tin Oxide - 1.
The purple goes a sky blue in oxidation and blue with mottled purple in
semi-reduction (can be really nice) and a very nice redish purple in full
reduction. The red goes a sickly yellow in oxidation and flashes
blue/purple/red in semi-reduction and sort of a blood red in full reduction.
I would be very interested in whatever results anyone else gets from these
recipes, so if you try them please e-mail me how they worked for you. I use
Laguna's Dave's Porcelain, but have tried them on stoneware bodies with
mixed results. Happy firing!

Christine, THANK YOU. I also use Laguna's Daves Porcelain (amoung others)
and plan to mixed these glazes next week. I will certainly post the results.
They both sound like something I'm really going to like.
