Does anyone have a good shino recipe that I can use in an electric to cone
6, and still get the leathery orange look?

Thanks.

I'm sure others will reply with more info, but I have a question, shino's are
caused by the chemistry of the glaze, and clay and reduction, are you reducing
in your electric?

No, we are not attempting a reduction atmosphere in an electric kiln, just
want a glaze that has the same, or a close similar quality.
Am I asking for the moon??

Was anyone ever able to come up with a Cone 6 shino, is that an
impossibility. If it was posted, and I missed it, I would appreciate it if
someone would post it again. Thanks in advance

The response appeared to establish that the shino color is a result of the
reduction process, not possible in oxidation.
Some faux shino effects might be accomplished through much experimentation
though.

Hmmmmm.....

I tested this glaze and liked it. The main colour is a dark cream going to
a red where it breaks. If applied to thin it's red. I tested it on
Plainsman 340, a creamy white body. Whether is looks like a true shino, I
don't know, as I've only seen them in books. I collected this recipe from
Clayart in Oct./96 sent in by Rafael Molina-Rodriguez and I think it's on
the Clayart Glazebase.
