Hello Edouard;
The third pot 'C/9½ Redux Floating Blue', is there a
need for the zinc above cone 6 AND reduced?
What is floating blue really? Calcium borate
crystals? Are there any other 'floating' varieties?
Many thanks
May

Hello May,
what I usually do to find a new base recipe:
I use Richard Zakin's program Describ9
and make a lot of propositions to see
what the program will answer.
So, that is why I used Zinc Oxide, even
if I knew I could do without it in reduction.
Once I get a good statement for the base,
I decided on an experimentation using
different amounts of opacifiers/colorants.
IMHO, there is a time to be very scientific
in glaze designing, and a time to be intuitive.
Why I love high fire Floating Blues, it is
the challenge.
If you want to know more about Floating Blues,
