turquiose cone 6

Autumn Downey on mon 18 feb 08


This recipe from our Guild has been used for many years. It's glossy, good at cone 5, runs sometimes in combination with some other glazes and usually looks a bit richer on red clay. I guess, since we are close to the end of our GB, we'll be trying it with Boraq sometime soon.

Hi Autumn,

Here it is with 3134 instead of GB - I'll bet it's really close - let me
know if it needs some adjustments.

If you try it with 5 or 6 % rutile I'll bet it will be durable as well.



CUSTER SPAR......... 28.50
SILICA.............. 21.00
WHITING............. 2.50
F3134............... 19.00
OM-4................ 16.50
ZINC OXIDE.......... 8.50
TALC................ 4.00
+coppr carb.......... 3.00
