I'm interested in trying a Quadraxial Blend of Burke's Celadon to
experiment with the crazing. Ian Currie's website is currently under
construction, so I don't have any access to information about how to do
this other than using Hyperglaze. I'm still unsure of how to do the
blend of this recipe, I don't know which 4 parts of this glaze to use as
the variables.
Here is the glaze recipe:
Feldspar 58
Whiting 17
Silica 14
Ball Clay 6
Zinc Oxide 5
Add:
Copper Carbonate .5

I'm using Potash Feldspar and OM-4 Ball Clay.
Thanks!

If you're wanting to run a standard Currie grid, you would want to
vary the silica (Silica) and the alumina (Ball Clay). His method is a
type of biaxial blend and so not exactly a quadraxial blend. I think
you'll enjoy the experimenting if you use Ian's method. Try to borrow
or buy a copy of his book _Revealing Glazes Using the Grid Method_
Bootstrap Press.
This grid method is used to compare the effects of the silica and
alumina in the various proportions across the grid. I'm not sure it
would be the best type of test for your crazing question. Still would
be an informative test.
See the matrix website below for further information about Currie. I
got a blank page as well going to Currie's site. Bummer.

Dear Digital Studio Person,
Your first four ingredients....
Feldspar
Whiting
Silica
Ball Clay
......form the basis for a basic quadraxial matrix system. It
incorporates an Alkali Metal oxide flux, an Alkali Earth oxide flux,
Silicon dioxide which is the main glass former, and a source of
alumina.
I suggest running the felspar through the range 50/75% and the other
three ingredients 0/25%
Three tiles are needed. This allows you to see what will happen as
each of the minor ingredients is increased at the expense of reducing
the fluxing action of the Feldspar. With a 6x6 matrix you will get 108
samples. Some are duplicates but that helps to validate your results.
I found it better to recalculate the fractional increments and
eliminate the zero rows. and columns. This enhances the productivity
of the system.
I have found that some of these systems will craze and that variations
in mineral content influence the degree of crazing. Your results will
depend on the character of your clay.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
Redhill,
South Australia.

Thanks for the link Taylor. I will buy Matrix because of the Currie
Grid calculation feature.
This is an excellent method for use with ash glazes and other
natural materials.

Hi,
If you tell me which particular Ball Clay and Feldspar you use I can
generate your blend using Matrix.

Hi Lee,
Thank you for your interest in Matrix. I followed Taylor's link and
discovered that all of the images in the Matrix on-line help system had not
been uploaded! Recently I had to change my web hosting company because of
their inefficiencies. I have a dozen websites that I look after some of them
very large. It was a major effort moving all the files over to the new
server. Hence the omission on the Matrix website.
Anyway the images are all in place now so the help system is visually fully
functional again.
I sent pdf files of the recipe grid created to the person who needed
assistance. If you would like to see these files to get an idea of what
Matrix does then I can send them to you directly.
Kind regards,
Lawrence

Thank you so much for this information, it's very helpful.
I don't have a digital scale, only a triple beam balance. How can I get
the measurements past the decimal to be accurate? Also, is there a trial
version of Matrix available for download?

Hello Kendra;
You round off the decimals. You will found out it's not 100% accurate, but =
it's close enough.
I did the Burke Faux Celadon in Currie grid. I have the 4 corner glaze reci=
pes and the breakdown in a printout. Would you like me to send them to you?=
Or you already have it with Lawrence's file?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/yamerica/1297501642/in/set-72157601804211800/
I can also send you the color chart as per photo in pdf. This is for 300 dr=
y ingredient mix to 450 cc volume.
In the past, I have reduced the crazing of this exact glaze by "sub-ing" Ko=
na K4 for Custer Spar. It reduced the subtotal alkalis and lower the Al:SI =
ratio and it worked for me. But if you do your own work, you would have mor=
e discoveries for yourself.

Please send them.
I was notified by phone last week of being awarded a Minnesota Arts
Board Artists Initiative grant. I am going to use it to insulate the
garage and set it up as my studio. I will us a little bit of the
grant to use Matrix to fill out the studio.
I have a lot of lawn equipment (an no lawn) so my first chore will be
to clean that stuff all out. If anybody on the lists needs
fertilizers, plant food and various shovels and rakes, I would be
happy to give the chemicals away and sell the tools for a modest
amount. Write me privately.

Hi Kendra,
For the bulk recipes you can round up to the nearest whole number. Recipe
grids show trends rather than absolutely accurate fired qualities. There are
many variables associated with volumetric blending throughout the process.
My advice to students is to create and fire the blend then look at areas or
individual samples that are of interest. The next step is to mix the
individual glazes using the recipes shown in the recipe list. Alternatively
Matrix has a facility for creating smaller recipe grids by entering and
saving the corner recipes so you could zero in on a part of the 5x7 grid for
more detail.
From this point on you will be fine tuning until you get the exact response
that you want.
I will send to your direct email a page from the Glaze Technology course
(http://www.glazetechnology.com) that deals with the mixing of recipe grids.
Kind regards,
Lawrence
