Gee, I got worried that Mel had been chased out of town. I get tired of
shadow boxing with myself and worried that a worthy sparing partner had
gone off to Nagano to play hockey. The definition of a Canadian is a guy
that is 50 years old and still thinks he is going to make the NHL. To
welcome him back with his thoughts on a web page I am offering him some
"green"
Mel was waiting for Ron Roy to supply a Celedon glaze. Rather than wait
I'm going to give you ours except we call it "green". I could send you a
nice temmoku glaze that we use and guess what we call it. You guessed it ,
that's our "black" glaze.
Mel had mentioned some time ago that he was not getting the iron content
right. We found that with this glaze what makes it spectacular is the
seiving. We first seive thru 80 mesh and then twice thru 150 mesh. It is
dynamite on porcelain . Good with oxides or shows up details under the
surface. Also very good on stoneware. Nice hard, durable glaze Cone 9-10.
GREEN GLAZE
Feldspar g-200 37.5
Flint 26.0
EPK 15.6
Talc 6.5
Whiting 14.3
Red Iron 2.0
May your pots be green and your leaves celedon.
Cheers,
tony
