Levine Meg Jessica on thu 9 may 96
I am looking for a low-fire lead-free bright red glaze. The color I would
like might be described as a "Christmas" red. (yes- it is hard to
describe color over e-mail!) I
would appreciate any suggestions for lead-free brands or recipes.
Thanks, Meg

Dear Meg,
I don't have any recipes below cone 6, however, if you do find a clear glaze
that you like, use Rose Red stain from US pigment. It is a true red.

I should explain how Davids red and yeller cup pisses me off. I have a
house full of pots. It is a good collection from all over the world. They
are mostly what my customers would call "earth tones". You generally
surround yourself with things you yourself would like to make.
I sat waiting for a shino cup from a Texan woodfire potter. Voila! A red
and yeller one. That cup is the only red pot in our house. It is still in
daily rotation after over 2 years. It makes me think. I think too much
already. Why did David send me something to make me think even more? Why
did he shake up my comfort zone. He knew I would use it. He knew it was
not what I was expecting. To challenge me. I still don't want to make red
pots for the wood kiln. I still use the cup. It is my water cup. Memories
of cream soda. I bet a small version could be nice for red wine.
With all this talking, I need water. It's early in the morning. Damn it, I
have to think- red or brown???? Before this red business there was no
contest- piss off.
Cheers, Tony
P>S Nick Zappa of Clayart has certainly nailed red. His web site is very
red.These guys are very good at "seeing red".

Paul: An interesting post. Many years ago i was in a a car accident. Me
driving a red car and a woman pulled across right in front of me. Bent cars
but bodies OK. She said she didn't see me. It turns out my insurance man
said the colour most hard to see is red against green. Ontario is green for
at least 3 seasons, so a red car is the least safe colour to drive. This may
also be the reason that the newer fire trucks are now mostly yellow at least
here in Ontario.
My last two used trucks have been red and I wished otherwise for safety
reasons. I would never buy a red car. Maybe a red CRV in Texas is the ideal
colour but no here in the greenbelt.
Just as a test put red letters on a green background and try to read them
from a distance.
cheers,
Tony

Tony - I have always heard that red vehicles were in more accidents but
for other reasons. I heard is was a psychological response to the color
red. Difference colors make people respond differently. Blue is a cool
and soothing and calms people down, yellow is a color that wakes people
up, and red makes people aggressive and even hungry. Ever notice how a
lot of restaurants have red interiors, makes people hungry and want to
eat. The theory, as I've heard it, is that a red vehicle will make the
driver and people around it more aggressive. The drivers cannot help
but see red on the hood of the car and they are driving. This
aggression leads them to drive faster, take more chances. People
driving behind a red vehicle also seeing red become more aggressive and
want to pass them. And back and forth it goes. . . As far as red
blending into the green and being the hardest color combination to see,
I just don't believe it. I would think a green vehicle driving through
a green countryside would be harder to see than a red on green one. Or
at harvest time in the great plains of wheat grown a sandy/bronze or
tan car on the golden waves of grain ready to harvest would be hand to
see. It can't be green in the greenbelt all year round so wouldn't red
stand out during harvest time or during the winter? What about a white
car in the snow?. . . Ever notice that there are seldom and green race
cars? While it may just be superstition on the part of drivers, it is
said that green race cars get lost in the green of the infield and have
more accidents. - Kim

Tony:
It's also interesting to note that some insurance companies here in
the States charge a higher premium for policies covering red
vehicles. My agent says that the assumption is that red is a more
aggressive color, and that drivers peering over a red hood are
likely to drive faster and more aggressively, hence more accidents.

Heh. I would have assumed it was that they get stolen more often. Silly
me...
...and by the way, they used to talk about painting prison walls pink
because it calms people down. Ugh...

I had always heard that red cars get more tickets because they were more
noticeable to the police. Or maybe it's because they are presumed to be
more aggressiv, although driving in Florida it's seems to be almost
everybody, not just red cars.

Hi Kate, all...
Yes...
People who elect 'Red' for the color of their Automobiles...
Are statistically more inclined to eventaute vehicular
mis-hap...or to establish just such a history of such for
themselves anyway, given time.
Which is something that Insurance Underwriters find worthy
to respect...

I prefer red cars, red trucks and Redheads. ;-) In
Minnesota, we turned down a great deal on a new white station wagon.
When you drive a car in Minnesota, you don't want to blend in with the
snowbanks.
When we shopped for our current station wagon, we asked for
the commercial version, which has a metal interior like "Real" pickup
trucks used to have, and a rubber matted cargo area, with cargo bars in
the windows. These are rated better for hauling too. They call
these commercial station wagons Vans. I knew it would be a white one,
because 99% of them are white. Not so much snow here, and the
roads are narrow, are not lit well at night. So white really makes
sense. The other interesting thing is that it doesn't seem to show
the country dust as quickly. And stays cooler in the summer heat.
