I'd love some tried and true blue glazes. Turquoise, Midnight, pale blue,
dark blue, opaque, transluscent. Anything. I prefer glazes that don't run,
crawl, sputter or fall of the pot. Midnight blue is of interest and a nice
blue like old Noxema jars. Cone 5-6 oxidation.
Thanks

Hi! I have managed to get some really nice blue glazes. But I can't really
take the credit. I use "The Potters Complete Book of Clay and Glazes" by
James Chappell. I have used the base glazes he has developed, and go from
there. If you can get the book in your local library or purchase one, you
will probably use it often. I will go ahead and give you the ones I use and
then maybe you can search the book for yourself. He has a very nice glaze
he calls "floating blue" on pg 210.
Nepheline syenite 47.3, Gerstley borate 27.0, Silica 20.3, Kaolin (EPK) 5.4,
Red iron oxide 2.0, Cobalt oxide 1.0 (if you use cobalt carb. double it),
Rutile (milled) 4.0, C.M.C. 1 tsp. This glaze should be mixed with
distilled water. Stir it often, because the iron settles. Fire to cone 6
oxidation exactly and let cool noramlly. You will like this glaze. It
won't work tho if you substitute.
Another of his glazes I use quite often is SG-59 : Lithium carbonate 8.9,
Feldspar (custer) 24.8, Whiting 13.4, Kaolin 11.5, Silica 32.2, Ultrox (I
use Zircopax) 9.2, c.m.c. 1 tsp. When I add 2.0 Ilmanite and 2.0 Cobalt
Carb, I get a deep blue at cone 6. When I add 4.0 copper and 8.0 titanium,
I get a very nice mottled turquoise. This is on white clay. On black clay
the floating blue will give you a little deeper blue, but I can't get the
other two to come out as well using the dark clay.
He has an opaque blue semi-gloss that is a lighter blue: Gerstley borate
50.0, Kaolin 15.0, Silica 35.0, Cobalt Carb 1.0, copper carb 2.0, rutile
1.0. These are very good glazes for me and I can usually depend on them.
Try the SG-59 with other oxides, it is a nice base to work with. I have
only been throwing for 3 years, but these glazes always work for me. Good
luck. Connie (billwms@fn.net)

Ellen,
I to would like to try this glaze. Can you or anyone else on the list
help me out with " Oxford (Barter Feldy Can Sub.)" What is this (are
these), a clay? Can you recommend a source or a very close, commonly
available substitute? I've recalculated to a percentage formula that may be
of help to others (see in original message).
Thanks, Bob

Boy, this has gotten pretty screwed-up by my or Clayart's text reader. Rather t
try to fix it (since I really don't know how) I'll just advise you all to follow
lines and weird paragraph wraps carefully. The percent figure is the 3rd figure
the right of each ingredient.
If anyone has advice on how to correct the weird paragraph wrap problem, I'm all
ears. Could I be the only one who sees this? Is it just my computer/e-mail rea

Barter Feldy sounds like a wonderful name! So preppy! However this ?
proves once more that you can tell the age of a potter by the spars and
clays s/he remembers. Anyone else out there remember Perrine and Dalton
clays? Anyhow Oxford was a POTASH feldspar. Try whatever the dealer has,
and adjust the recipe accordingly (if there is need) by lowering
yourkaolin a bit if it's underfired, raising it a bit if it's too fluid.
Lili Krakowski
Debby Grant on mon 25 jan 99
I answered this once already but it doesn't seem to have made it
to the list. Oxford Spar is an old feldspar which hasn't been mined
for a long time. Just substitute Custer Spar in equal amounts and
test. The other words in parenthesis seem to refer to another feldspar
maybe obtained in Canada, which I've never heard of, but I'm sure
Custer will do the trick.
Good luck, Debby Grant in NH
