To everyone out there: I only have an oxidation kiln and am needing to do
some Japanese tea bowls and would like to glaze them in a Temmoku glaze,
or one that looks like it. Is there such a thing for an oxidation
kiln???? Also, i am needing a history report on the tea ceramony. Does
anyone recommend a good book???
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks, Jennifer in Alpine, Tx

Jennifer,
I got this glaze to work and look just like a high-fire temmoku once
in a 100g test but never again. It was in CM once from a Canadian
potter whose name I forget (might have been Walter Ostrom).
Wild Rose Temmoku
Lithium Carb. 10.5
Bone Ash 10.5
Neph. Sy. 61.5
EPK 17.5
Iron Ox. 10.5
I hope it works better for you than it did for me. It also tended to
break kind of yellowish rather than purple or reddish as you would
expect.

Jennifer: Here is a Temmoku I use. I fire it in oxidation in a gas
kiln. It has a good range, from ^9 to a hard ^11. Result is a dark
Temmoku with cocoa-brown highlights where thin. Also works well in
reduction. Applied too thick and it will bubble.
Whiting: 18.25
Custer Spare 43.40

Silica 28.04

This glaze was posted to the list by someone as Gibby's Wild Rose...I have
worked with it a bit and if you work out the thickness it can be very
interesting. I have fired a lot of saturated iron glazes in gas and
electric and very few work in oxidation. This one, however, is one of my
favorites. I originally thought that age adversely affected it. I am not
certain of this now as I am keeping dated batches and have been putting
samples of these in most firings and find that thickness is the biggest
factor. I have fired it to cone 5 electric with good results. It is a
good looking tile glaze for frames and field tiles. On the vertical
susrfaces it gets more of the orange color. Not tenmoku but very nice
orangish/reddish glaze. It can run so be careful of getting it too thick
near bottoms. I do vertical tests where I leave the glaze back by at least
an inch on the tile to check this.

Paul,
What cone was that Temmoku glaze fired to?

Sorry, I guess that would be helpful. I need a Temmoku glaze for
oxidation firing. Cone 6. That is what I am firing to now, cone 5 or 7
will work as well. Thanks again, Jennifer in Alpine
