Do I have your attention now? I ran across an old note (88)I had
made of a glaze recipe cone 6 called electric shino which had the apperance
of cream breaking red. nice glaze, so I'm in the process of running a test
to be sure it is the one I remember correctly, if so I will post it to
anyone intrested. I have a biscuit firing going now. Hotlanta keeps getting
hotter!

I hope its a beaut of a glaze and I would indeed be interested...You can
send me the info off line, but I suspect others will also want to see the
glaze on list and know your results. Lori in New Port Richey, Fl(used to
live in Buckhead and 'do' clay at Collenwolde before I built my own kiln
there) Lorinfla@computronicsusa.com

YES, you most definitely do have my attention.
I recently visited northwestern Alberta for a two week long workshop with =
Bibi
Clement and Yasuo Terada. We did a couple of wood firings in Bibi's =
wonderful
wood kiln. The shino pieces were absolutely beautiful. The workshop was
fabulous. I have been invited and will be going to Japan in March to spend =
more
time with Yasuo and his family.
Now you say you may have a recipe for cone 6 electric shino glaze. I really
must have died and gone to heaven.

Here is the glaze that I recovered in my notes from some years ago:
gerstley 35%
soda feldspar f4 15%
whiting 10%
barium carb 5%
flint 10%
tin oxide 13%
red iron ox 2%
yes I agree it seems a bit short so do a test first!
I saw this glaze and said Yuk!(then) Now my tastes have changed a bit and I
can appreicate it more. I'm glad
I didn't throw it away, just buried it a few years. Try it out on your clay
body and let me know what happens.
I'll discuss if I have to shift it one way or another.
Plant Yates electrical power plant here in Newnan Ga. has sent the surplus
power up line to New York during off hours. They say it only takes a second
to get to New York. That's fast.almost as fast as e-mail.
I once fired my gas kiln this time of year and the extra heat helped melt
the housing covers to my gas gauges.cone 10.
I spent today converting a friend's raku kiln to natural gas, she did not
wish to use L.P. anymore. Drilled orfice size out, ran several feet of black
pipe to her existing kiln and tapped into the gas line in the basement.
Drilling the hole in the wall was the hardest part as the hole has to line
up or the pipes won't fit!
Hot and humid today.
She gave me some intresting glazes and this one she wants help with because
it crawls.
Soda feld. 52% cone ^6
flint 18
gerst. borate 10
whiting 15
epk 5
add
cuo3 .5%
silicon carbide .5%
tin ox 2%
after seiving all ingredients add 1% grandular Ilmenite
RED mottled zig zagged oil spoted rutilish looking glaze with a bright red
background.
She showed me a test sample and it was WILD WILD WEST. I will work on this one!!
I still use the paper and pencil glaze calculation, not using the computer
as it leaves the brain soggy!
If you like clear glazes try this one but leave the oxides chrome and cobal
out. Cone^6
Gerstly 50%
edgar p.k. 20%
flint 30% looks familiar don't it?
for emerald green add 2% chrome oxide and 1% cobalt ox or carb.
Sharon it was,
nice talking to you!
Good luck Douglas Adams

I tested that recipe, but I must point out that I only fire to cone 4.
At that temperature, I wouldn't say the result was what anyone would
call shino. It was a flat matt, sort of orange-tan all over, no break
to it at all. It was what I expected, but not what I'd hoped for. But
then, how many glaze tests are what we hope for?
