I am looking for a recipe, gleaned from Clayart within the last yr., called
"Tenmoku Gold" or "Gold Tenmoku" at cone 6 ox. I happen to have a small
(1000 gr.) bucket made up and it tested beautifully sometime in the summer
perhaps. I have looked everywhere for the notes from which I must have
weighed it out and no luck. Also, I really did try the GLAZE DATABASE from
the Ceramics Web, and nothing came up.
Is there anyone else on the list who may have copied it or filed or or even
offered it? I would be very grateful. I am not much of a glazer having
done more lately with vitreous engobes and lichen or crawl glazes.
I was thinking of using it on one of the very few mugs I make to take to NCECA.
Thank you all. Bacia Edelman medelman@facstaff.wisc.edu Madison,

Bacia,
This may be the glaze you want. I got it from Veronica Shelford on Thetis
Island, BC.
"V's" Tenmoku Gold Cone 6 (Electric Kiln)
Cornwall Stone 60
Whiting 8
Gerstley Borate 3
Iron Oxide - Red 10
Lithium Carb. 5.5
Dolomite 7
Flint 5.5

I really like this glaze. I have used it on two different clay bodies. On a
red colored high iron clay it was dark chocolate with golden flecks
throughout. The stayed put and did not run. Beautiful. On Cone-5 B-mix from
Laguna Clay, fired to cone 6, it ran just a bit. Georgeous effect....flecks
of gold in a translucent caramel color. Some crazing.
Suggest you test on vertical surfaces tall enough to significantly test the
running quality. Could really make a mess on a shelf.
Also, a caution about the mixture. I found that once the ingredients are
mixed it needs to be used right away. If allowed to sit unused for even two
or three days, 6-sided crystals begin to grow. These could be a problem,
altering the glaze and the way it performs.
Enjoy.

Hope this is what you are looking for...
Back in August, Veronica Shelford posted the following formula for "V's
Tenmoku Gold" (cone 6 ox) to Clayart:
61 Cornwall Stone
8 Whiting
3 Gerstley Borate
10 Red Iron Oxide
5.5 Lithium Carb
7 Dolomite
5.5 Flint
She described it as her own variation on the Richmond (BC) Potters' Club
"Red
Tenmoku" and having gold flecks on a red-brown base. I tried it on a warm
brown clay body and really like the results. For me, at ^6, it is a very
deep, glossy chocolate brown with gold flecks. Because of unintentional
uneven temps in subsequent firings, I have found that at ^5 the glaze is
rich, glossy brown with more dense patches of a more matt gold "haze," and
at
^7 the gold disappears and the result was glossy dark brown with breaks of
medium tan on high spots. The ^5 and ^7 results were obtained after adding
5% flint to the original formula to try to correct some flowing and crazing.
Just thought this might be of some interest to those experimenting with
Tenmoku glazes in oxidation.
