I am looking for a glaze recipe for a low fire (^06 or 05)
transluscent blue and green. The green is a Celadon and the the blue
is a teal blue. I know this isn't the most exact description, but
any suggestions for a starting point would be helpful. TIA
Merry Christmas to everyone.

I posted some low fire glaze recipes the other day and was asked if I had
tried them on terra cotta. So far I've only tested them on low fire red clays.
They fit fine. But since they are translucent I don't always like the color.

We have been using a technique where we take a greenware piece and use black
underglaze, then fire it at 04 to bisque, then we put on 4 to 5 coats of red
and glaze at 06. We would like to know if we could do the same process with
a bisque piece using the black underglaze then bisquing it again, then
putting on 4 to 5 coats of red then firing it at 06.

I see no reason why not. I hav found that the underglazes are pretty
versatile. Once the black is fired to 06, it should function the same as the
black you painted on the greenware.
What red are you using. Many of us find the reds burn out at 06, and have
taken to very fast fires as low as 08 to preserve that red through the
firing.
