I SERIOUSLY NEED A ^10 MATT black or grey GLAZE for the use on scottish d=
=3D
eerhound sculptures!=3D20
I am not glaze savy.
A previously used glaze that follows worked great until the "mason black s=
=3D
tain" I was using ran out and the new "black stain" I received and use=
=3D
d in the mix simply slid off the pot!
QUESTION:
Could I tweak this glaze recipe and make it less slippery ie not run at ^=
=3D
10?
Here is the glaze mix
Black Oak Green or Melloys Black
dolomite ------------------340.188 grams
whiting--------------------136.752 grams
custar feldspar---5 pounds =3D2C181.42 grams
EPK--------------2 pounds =3D2C226.79 grams
Mason Black stain (6600)??---90.71
Mang. Dioxide----------------90.71
Cobalt Carb------------------11.79
I would sometimes use this glaze under an egg shell matt white that would =
=3D
produce a beautiful breaking grey.
I make custom trophys for dog shows and seriously need a ^10 matt grey! T=

hese dogs are grey.
My clay body is 119 stoneware from Standard.
I will try any recipe sent.If you have A combination of glazes that goes gr=
=3D
ey I would try also.
Thankyou in advance for any and ALL information.

Here is a trouble free, dirt cheap, cone 10 matte grey glaze that I
have used extensively (when I used to fire to that temperature). It
occasionally (very rarely) goes brownish where too thin, especially
over iron-bearing clays. It may be worth a try:
Adrian's Shepard Road Ash
Hardwood Ash (unwashed) 40
Custer Feldspar 40
OM4 Ball Clay 20
That's it, no colorants, no nothing. Don't let the word "ash" in the
title fool you; this is not a typical rivulet-forming ash glaze. It
is a lovely warm dove grey eggshell matte glaze that never moves. It
also does well underneath more active glazes, and can be used as a
trap glaze at the bottom of pots, even in salt.
I have added three photos of the glaze to my flickr page. The first
is a very old and very ugly planter that shows Shepard Road Ash by
itself. The second shows it as the basis for a more sophisticated
treatment, and the third shows it in use as a trap glaze at the bottom
of a salt glazed pot. The flower pot is white stoneware, while the
other two pots are porcelainous stoneware.
Good luck with your project.

OOOH, that snakeskin one is something else!
I am guessing you soaked a netting of some kind in oxide and placed it over
the glaze? Or is it a secret? I've used a bag that onions came in to
impress into a Fish platter, and got nice scale texture, but haven't tried
it any other way...

Hi James,
Like Joyce, I am impressed with you clean and tidy studio. Mine is always
in chaos!
I really love the Adrian Shepard Road Ash with the snakeskin treatment. It
is lovely.
Also love the shawl vase, which is so unusual, as is the snakespin piece.
I have been looking for a nice gray, so will try this.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Amy, are you sure that you have the numbers for the black stain,
Manganese Dioxide and Cobalt Carbonate right? They seem very high to
me - even if you wanted a black rather than a grey glaze.

Hi James,
You posted this glaze for someone who had asked for a gray glaze. On
rereading your post, I am not sure if you meant it was for reduction or oxi=
dation.
However, I did mix up a test batch and tested it on the inside of a
porcelain bowl fired to cone 9-10 in a reduction kiln. Thought you might be
interested to know that it came out a very interesting glossy glaze with to=
uches of
copper red! There were some copper reds in the firing, so I am assuming the
red came from fuming, but it was very interesting, and I am going to try it
again.
Thanks for sharing the glaze.

Veena...
Yes, it is a reduction glaze. It is also good in oxidation, but it
sometimes goes brownish. Never saw it turn red, and certainly never saw it
go glossy! You must have magic powers (or VERY different ash from what we
get here).
Take care.
