i am currently working on a research project for a ceramics materials
class here at CU- Boulder. i am trying to find glazes which look similar
to plastic. i'm working with a cone 04 claybody, and would like to find a
good base, or really outrageous colors. any type of plastic looking
texture will due but i'm trying to focus on that McDonalds Land looking
plastic texture. i'd appreciate any help anyone could give. the colors
i'd like to get include yellow, red, blue, green, white, black and maybe a
clear.
thanks

Tim Berg,
Try cerdec ceramic inclusion stains - expensive but the colors in the
higher percentages are "very plastic" These stains benifit forn a base
glaze containing a small amount of zinc - test - test -test!

Hi Tim,
The comment you received on using inclusion pigments for some of the colors
was RIGHT ON! Jeanne had some ordered for our class for experiments. After
that we probably have to order them ourselves, due to the expense. Ask Amy if
these stains have arrived.

there are many clayart friends that do glaze research.
it is all vital.
none of them think they invented glaze research. well, a few do
however. arrogance.
all the temperatures of glaze melt have been tried over and over.
there are thousands of recipes and ideas.
some are kept close to the vest as people invest
a great deal of time and effort to make a decent surface.
and, they do not have to share or tell anyone how
they do it...it is their business.
joe koons had done thousands and thousands of glaze
recipes and research over 45 years...he did not invent hare's fur, or
oil spot...we never said we did. we just worked on it.
we don't give a rat's ass what others think...not worth
the time to think about it. we did what we did.
john and ron have done years of work..they don't care
either about silly criticism.
diana did not invent anything. she freely worked on cone 6
reduction. she gives her research away. she did a fine job
of writing for our book. it was simple historic recipes that work at cone =
6
reduction. she did the study. fine with me. glad to share it
with others. if anyone wants the study, just read it, use it.
carol marians has two ph.d's from m i t. she does silica research.
she is one of the most knowledgeable people in the world in silica
research. she is working on very important work in the cooling cycle.
she does not give a rat's ass what some potter thinks of her work.
she is not doing it for that reason. she wants answers. and she shares
her studies with anyone that wants to know how things work.
there is so much information out there that it is hard to sort it out.
