Hi Folks,
Does anyone out there have a dependable celedon or clear glaze for cone 8
woodfire.
The kiln I use is a pretty straight forward tunnel kiln with no baffle wall
and lots of ash and direct flame on the pots. The glaze needs to stand up
to this.......but will only be used as a liner on bottles and other fairly
closed forms.
I have some high ball clay content/fairly high iron clays that I want to
try out in some of the cooler areas of the kiln. They tend to flash best
between cones 7-9 and I need a glaze in that range just to see how these
bodies take a simple liner glaze. Usually I use no glaze at all.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Bruce: if you can get the old bluish Cornish Stone there is a glaze in
Rhodes Clay and Glazes the might be okay. Its 80% Cornish Stone.
Rhodes #20
85 Cornwall
15 Whiting
Also there is a glaze which is an Oribe which might be clear without the
added copper:
Kaname Takada Oribe
80 Custer
20 Whiting
+5 Copper Carb
this might work too:
Tony Birks shiny ash
50 ash
50 spar
lotsa luck - Hansen

Diana Pancioli's cone 6 celadon works great in wood firing at cone 8. I
don't have the recipe at home
but if somebody hasn't found it for you before I get back to the
classroom, I'll send it to you Monday pm.
