The "Michigan Blue" recipe I got used dolomite, and
I recalculated it to use talc instead.
Michigan Blue, via Texas, cone 10
Redart clay 26
Custer feldspar 44
whiting 14
flint 10
bone ash 4
Texas talc 2
cobalt carbonate .7
This glaze is a dark blue, but without the
harsh qualities of many cobalt blues.
The expansion is on the high side and it will
craze on many claybodies.

| Dear Clayarters,
| A potter friend of mine has asked me to try to track down any information
I
| can about the following:
|
| A cone 10 reduction glaze called "Michigan Blue". He's seeking the recipe
| for this one.
|
| Any information on "flambe" glazes. These sound to me to be in the copper
| red family of glazes, but with some differences. He's looking for a
| typical recipe and any firing advice one might be willing to give.
| TIA
| Greg

I do not know about this glaze but when I was in school (MFA 1972) there
was a material called Michigan Slip which I used just mixed with water
and it was a very nice blue-brown slip glaze. It was soon gone and I've
not heard of it for sale for many years.

the glaze.
