I have an especially nice ^6 brown I call "Alberta Blue." Very=3D20
difficult to work with! :o)
Alberta slip 80
Frit 3134 20
------------------
Total 100
Add:
Rutile 2-5%
At ^6=3D2C this glaze fires to a glossy caramel with blue inclusions. =3D20
I normally line my mugs with a clear glaze=3D2C
then dip the outside to about 1" from the lip. =3D20
Wait for the mug to dry. Dip the outside and overlap the
first (liner dip) by about 1/2". In firing the two glazes=3D20
blend=3D2C creating a flowing drip. Where the glaze pools slightly=3D2C=3D=
20
the pool has blue speckles.
My regular customers love it.
This glaze likes texture! I will carve the surfaces with a wire=3D2C
and where the glaze settles in the cuts=3D2C it pools caramel brown
with blue.
I fire to a hard ^6=3D2C with a five minute hold at 2232 degrees F.
I work mostly in porcelain=3D2C so if you're using anything else=3D2C
your mileage may vary. TEST first!
Best=3D2C

Hi Tig,
And - looks like a durable glaze - especially with the added rutile.
