One of my graduate students is looking for a cone 04 bubblegum pink
glaze. She would like to glaze large (3-4 feet tall) pieces with the
glaze so she is looking for something that will be a cheap as
possible.
Are there any formulas out there?

Lowell,
Your student may come off cheaper simply using mason stains in a proven
base unless she's developing a glaze for long-term, extensive use. Glaze
testing can get expensive for a one-time or seldom used glaze, as I'm sure
you're aware. Of course, it's important to make sure the base you're using
is chemically compatible with the particular stain's documented
requirements.

Lowell,
I would suggest she test some commercial underglazes with a clear 04 glaze.
I think she would have better results than a pink glaze all by itself IMHO

Lowell - this glaze is cheap to make and works well on earthenware at cone
04. I think it originated with Carlton Ball. If it is to go over a red clay
body, opacify with tin, titanium ( warmer) or zircopax, but its semi-opaque
anyway, and has a nice texture and feel to it.

Add 5% or more crimson stain to get the required bubble gum pink
