Hi All,
I has been great to listen, learn , consider and share in the energy that
is Clayart for the past months since joining You. My life is Art.
Bfa Painting 1977 and Clay seriously since 1986. Painting studio in
downtown historical Seattle gallery district and Ceramic studio a few
blocks north of the Public Market. No rich uncle, just Hard work, bit of
talent, Luck, persistance and patience, etc.
The Ceramic studio, opened the door last june, is getting some good
momentum now. Ready for a third large cone 6 oxidation test firing. The
past two have been productive and some favorites tiles have begun to surface.
Many of them, about 20% are Wood ash, Apple mostly. I have sources for
mesquite and peach also.
I also am a member of the Seward Ceramics Studio on Lake Washington,
Trees and waterfowl and cone 10 reduction. An AppLe Ash glaze I have used
there is: Cornwall 34
Kaolin 32
Whiting 17
Ash 17
Copper ox 1 This glaze works Beautifully with a Tom
Coleman turquoise.
Cust feld 57
Ball 11
Stront. 23
Whiting 10
Zinc 6
Copper carb 4
Rutile 4 Together, Turq. matte With flow. Watch your feet.
Any Ideas on why it flows and is also matte?
At the Ceramics studio called Terra Bongo, the sidewalk was dug up in
August. Found some historical clay in the form of brick and drain pipe
and a nice bed of Glacial Local. The regrade, early 1900's, took the
30ft. of dirt down to the bay. Belltown, the area where I'm located still
rises above the Bay, thanks to the clay. Here is a recipe to try:
Cone 6
Local glacial 70
Dolomite 15
Feldspar 15 Add ash until you get the quality You like.
Add that % to the recipe, devide the the four ingredients by the total
to get the total to 100%. Try with colorants.
I have a Great cone 6 Japanese Ash Glaze that also contains dolomite. I use
Apple Ash from Trattoria Mitchelli's across the street.
Let me know what you think of these glazes,
and Look forward to hearing of yours, Thanks.

Thank you for the recipes and I look forward to trying them. Now I must
show my ignorance, What is "Glacial Local" is this comparable to commercialy
available clays? ball clay? something else.
