13. Midfire texture glazes?

Howdy folks=3D2C I'm dissatisfied with most of my cone 6-7 glazes mostly
because they're uninteresting. I've formulated nice colors and

magnesium carbinate as the primary flux but haven't seen anything
interesting and textural in the midfire range that I can work off of
to begin to formulate my own. Can any of you point me in the right
direction? I'm not afraid to experiment and my studio is equiped with
all common and some uncommon dry glaze materials and I can pick
anything else I might need from my local clay art store.
=3D20

Several years ago I played with a textured surface ala Robert Sperry's work=
.
I would apply a ^6 black or other dark glaze, fire to temperature, or
sometimes not fire this base glaze first, then apply a mix of 50% nepheline
syenite and 50% magnesium carbonate and fire to ^6. This produced a dry
white, cracked surface with the dark glaze showing in the cracks. Definitel=
y
not a functional glaze combo.

In complete agreement David. "Too precious" is a curse.
A friend recently suggested I experiment on paper. I realized that removed

Many blunders along the way but many "Never thought that would happen."

Brian,
The plate is lovely,
In additon to Johanna's question and rather OT, I guess, what is MobilMe
Gallery. Is that a Mac/Apple thing or is it usable on any mobile device?
Again, great plate.
Thanks.

I am not sure how you got to the 35 year old plate. It was made at a
time when stains were not available and a basic glaze was used with
additions of copper oxide and time oxide, rutile and other oxides.
A saturated iron glaze was applied by dipping and a slip trailer used
to trail a drawing on top
my post was to show hundreds of glaze textures made from 50/50
mixtures with additions of coloured stain

I think that any mobile device capable of seeing websites will get you
there if you have the URL but to create mobile me galleries you need
to be well and truly hooked into apple

I saw all your tests and thought they had valuable information and then
I browsed through the other images on your site. I enjoy seeing both the
new and the old. I really liked the way the trailed glaze was rimmed
with a darker color. Stains don't interest me much at this point in
time. I am fascinated by the interaction of glazes formulated with
oxides as colorants, so that is probably why this plate captured my
attention. What is time oxide? did you mean tin?
