Hi Folks,
Does anyone know of a cone 5/6 beading glaze recipe? I'm looking for
something that is clear and will form a surface similar to water
droplets collecting on a flat surface.
I've looked through the clayart past articles but have not found any
such recipes.
SInce I'm new to the group and glaze making help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
David

David: I've been using the recipe credited to Lana
Wilson. It turns out white. I subbed OM4 for the
Kentucky ball clay.
60 nepheline syenite
22 magnesium carbonate
18 Kentucky ball clay

David,
I do not know if this will work for you, but it is worth a try and will
give you a start.
I have fired low-fire glazes called "Lichen" or crawl glazes at cone 06
which were lichen or lizard skin. The same glaze was a bead glaze at cone
04. It is basically just melting more and the beads are forming from the
surface tension of the glaze.
So...theoretically the same should be the case at other temperatures. Here
is a crawl glaze.
LICHEN cone 6
30.00 F-4 Feldspar
31.00 Magnesium Carbonate
19.00 EPK Kaolin
8.00 Talc
6.00 Pemco P-25
6.00 Zinc Oxide
I would try firing it at various temperatures in a test kiln and see what
you get. (Like at cone 5, then cone 6, then cone 7, then cone 8. If that
gets you something you like you may try half cone intervals to fine tune
it.)
It will not be clear though. It will be opaque.
Hope it gets you a start,

Ann,,,,,,,,I have used this crawl glaze over a layer of nutmeg and it works
fine. I have noticed you will get different amounts of crawl if your
coatings are uneven. Works great though and has a nice white color to it
almost reduction type white.

I have been using a beading glaze for a long time. You can make virtually
any glaze beady - all it takes is bags and bags of magnesium carbonate.
I don't think you will be able to get a clear one, as the magnesium
carbonate needed to make the glaze "bead" will also make it white. It you
do run across one that is clear, please share!
Another way to achieve the effect you want is with wax resist and a clear
glaze.
Using a beading glaze over another glaze with flatten it out. You will get
an interesting glaze, but it will be patterned instead of beading. Try
using various underglazes instead, of use a ^04 or ^06 beading glaze over a
previously fired piece and see what happens.
Textured, beady and crawl glazes are loads of fun to experiment with.
Important: Make sure you have a good kiln wash, an angle grinder, and a lot
plenty of time to scrape kiln shelves.
Also important: you MUST wear a mask when working with the very fluffy Magi
Crab.
...Lo
whose divoted kiln shelves speak volumes of experientation. In a good way.
