Hi everyone!
I am searching for some specific raku glaze colors to use in our next
class firing. Anyone willing to share? What I am looking for is:
Turquoise
A deep garnet or red wine colored red
Purple
A true 'lipstick' colored red
Yellow - one that I could use to represent the sun, for example.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-) I have two pieces I want to
fire. One is a slab panel that is based on a stained glass pattern. It has
a peacock and roses in it, thus the turquoise and garnet. The other piece
is for my aunt, who is a 'Red Hat' lady. She wants something red and
purple, like the Red Hat colors.
And BTW, thank you sooo much to all who answered my kiln repair questions
several days ago. The info you provided really helped my friend out!
Take care,
Stephanie

recipes here if you do a search on clayart.
Glazing *
Ancient Amethyst (Purple Revisited)
(from Patricia)
Gerstley Borate 80
Nepheline Syenite 20
Cobalt Oxide 0.5%
Manganese Carbonate 2-5%
When I read about your purple crackle, and the variable colors you got, I
thought I would share one of my glaze experiments. I have tried a variant
of the Soldner 80/20 glaze, with 0.5 % cobalt, and 2-5 % Manganese. I
consistently got purple color only when the pot is aired enough to both
get good crackle and hardened enough to not actually reduce the glaze.
Just the smoking, and no reduction of the actual glaze produce purple.
Good post firing reduction consistently produced blue. The more manganese
the darker the purple up to a certain point, at least, and the lower
percentages produce a lovely glaze that I named it "ancient amethyst" for
its smoky amethyst color. I bet the higher amounts of cobalt give a darker
purple.

Don't know about the deep garnet or red wine, but Amaco's low fire gloss
red (Flame LG53) and yellow (Canary Yellow LG61) work really well for
raku. I've been able to make blends of several of their glazes to
achieve essentially any color and shade I've ever needed. I'm confident
you could do the same for the deep garnet and wine red.

Have you tried some of the standard low fire glazes? I have used the Mayco
Stroke & Coat WonderGlaze successfully in raku firing.

Stephanie - depending on what kind of effect you are trying to achieve,
you might want to try using underglazes under a standard clear crackle
glaze. I did several pieces this way last year, and had good results with
the Amaco Velvet series of underglazes. I used red, turquoise, yellow,
pink, and blue shades, which I bisque fired onto the pots. Then I applied
the clear crackle and raku fired. All colors came out true, with good
crackle. The only difference in the crackle between the sections that had
been brushed with underglaze before bisque firing and those that had been
left bare was that the crackle lines over the underglaze did not absorb as
much carbon and therefore had slightly lighter appearance than the lines
on the rest of the pot. It made for an interesting contrast, though.

Stephani,
Gary's website is a great resource for raku recipes as Donna wrote:

Dear Carole,
I have a nice opaque burgundy wine colored raku glaze. It is Soldner's Clear
with the addition of Burgundy Mason Stain.
80 Gerstley Borate
20 Neph. Sy.
I made a 1000 gram batch of it and (believe it or not) I added a handful of
mason stain. I've made this recipe a few times and it has been very
reliable. I have photos posted on my blog site. The link is below. I also a
a recipe for Ferguson's Turquoise that I'll have to get back to you with.
