Hi All,

I'm looking for a ^9-10 matt green glaze for fountains. Ideally I'd like
something that is not too dark and has some variation in it and not a
chrome/cobalt concoction. A potter I know uses a glaze that he called Hamada
Green and that would be appropriate for this purpose. Does anyone have a
recipe for such a glaze?

TIA,

Peter Atwood

>From a group of glaze recipes someone gave me from Glendale College:

Hamada Mat(t?)

Potash feldspar 72.1
Ball Clay 14.2
Whiting 12.3
Zinc Oxide 11.1
Barium Carbonate 1.4
Red Iron Oxide 3.5
Rutile 2.8
Copper Carbonate .4

I have never tried this recipe, but if I did I would either leave the
Barium out or sub. Strontium Carb.

Peter,

The Rx for this glaze was published in Clay Times along with a photo of a
vase glzed with it. It was green and brown . Perhaps someone with a
collection of back issues can help you.

Donald Goldsobel in the San Fernando Valley where it is very warm, but dry
as a bone.

Just a few notes on this glaze - I am assuming it's a cone 10R glaze - it
may not melt very well even at that temperature. If it is to be fired in
reduction you can omit the Zinc Oxide - it will not be there to help with
the melt - OK try it both ways and let us know what happens.

It is also going to craze on any body I have ever seen. The Strontium sub
would be 1.0 instead of Barium at 1.4
