Can anyone help me with a source of granular rutile. Only one of
three suppliers in my areas has carried it and now says he is not
able to get more. If anybody has any details or suppliers I would
appreciate it. It produces such nice effects.
Thanks,

Caleb, do you use the granular illmenite as a body stain or in a glaze
recipe? If in a glaze recipe is it oxidation or reduction? Lori in New Port
Richey, Fl Thanks!

Rutile can give different colors from pale blue to yellow green , =3D
tannish yellows etc. depending on the base glaze ingredients which =3D
influence how colorants react in a different chemical base.
=3D20
Rutile in granular form comes in several mesh sizes. These granular =3D
forms will cause usually a green to yellow spot in a glaze, whereas =3D
powered forms influence the entire base glaze. If you look at my Flickr =3D
postings there is a blue photo of a cup and the green specks are from =3D
granular rutile. The glaze also has 1% cobalt oxide and a =3DBC% of fine =
=3D
granular manganese. It seems like it is simple to get some of these =3D
reduction glazes, but unless applied with the correct thickness, have it =
=3D
on a certain clay body and fire it in the correct reduction atmosphere , =
=3D
oxidize it at the end of the firing and cool the kiln slowly as was done =
=3D
in the case of the sample I refer to. Things don't always go as planned. =
=3D
The blue glaze needs Diamond Kaolin and Barium to complete the glaze. =
=3D
No, The glaze is not used on the inside of any of my pots. My Flickr =3D
site also has other pots, kilns and a the article I wrote on Suspended =3D
Roof kilns for 21st Century Kilns. The article on Flickr is in reverse =3D
order, but the pages are numbered. =3D20

If you look at my pots on Flickr =3D
http://www.flickr.com/photos/25594880@N04/ you'll see a cup with a =3D
blue glaze on it. You'll see small yellow green specks in the glaze. =3D
The spots are from granular rutile. There is a very small =3D
percentage(less than 1/4 % of granular rutile in the glaze.
