Dear all,
I have posted a few more blue glaze tests based on MC6 glazes on my blog,=
=3D
for those interested in those sorts of things.=3D20=3D20
Also perhaps of interest, I changed the end temperature of my slow cool f=
=3D
rom 1400 to 1500 (other than that, I stick to the=3D20
schedule recommended by RR and JH on their web site). Well, happily the =
=3D
shorter cool-cycle worked just fine (great even).=3D20
There were no visible differences in my key glazes (Licorice Black, Raw S=
=3D
ienna, Bright Sky Blue, Raspberry, Warm Jade Green).=3D20
The glazes that thrive on slow cooling (semi-mattes such as Raw Sienna) l=
=3D
ooked amazing as per usual and the variegated=3D20
glazes had lovely crystals. If anything, my Bright Sky Blue looked better=

and more vivid. I'm happy to be able to shorten my=3D20

Two more tests in the kiln I'm firing today. The quest for my "perfect" =

blue continues. ;-)

Hi Brigit:
I use a few of the glazes with rutile (Raw Sienna is my absolute favorite=
=3D
).=3D20=3D20
These glazes do break over texture very nicely and have depth to them (wh=
=3D
ich=3D20
is what I'm usually after in glazing) but they can (and do) obscure fine=3D=
20=3D
patterning (especially those with a good amount of movement, like Bright =
=3D
Sky=3D20
Blue). Not usually an issue for me.
All the best,
