For everyone who's been playing with Ron and John's Waterfall glazes - you
might be interested in a test result I just posted on my blog:

Not that anyone else ever comes up with totally unexpected results! :)

Here's my $.02 on wfl purple, hope it helps.
I screwed up a firing a couple of years ago, and got red from wfl brown. =
Turns out, if you refire wfl brown to ^04, you get red.
Also, where I layered "clear liner" from the book, I got a bunch of =
colors, purple included.
Sometimes, where the wfl is on pretty thick, it runs slightly and turns =
purple.
so, it's there- i think part of the issue is in how you fire it. Hold =
somewhere in the 1800 degree range??

Hello Jamie and fellow glaze testers;
What is a waterfall glaze? Can you step back and find the generic name for this type of glaze? I think if you do, you will be able to decipher what makes that purple. Do you still have the glaze left to test it on a vertical surface so that the glaze 'move from a higher to a lower level, typically rapidly and without control' like some falling water? I wonder what would you get?
Regards

Not me, I also screwed up but got dark brown.

Not me, I get green and if really thick, pinholes.

I use John Hesselberth's schedule from his website.
From the photos it looks like Tracy is using a clay with specks
(manganese?), which affect the glaze color. I use Tucker's ^6 "white"
with and without grog, no specks. So another part of the issue is the
clay.
I have layered Waterfall with other glazes but have never seen a hint
of purple. I'd love to see purple.
BTW, Waterfall over Opal Blue (see Archives) is spectacular, IMO.
