I have Shaner's Red from the early 70's that I used, as did
many other
potters at the time. I recently read about two additional
glazes called
Shaner's Orange and Shaner's Green. Are these formulas that
have
been widely used? I was out of touch with clay for most of
the
80's and the first part of the 90's. If someone has them I
would like
to try them.

Dear Earl:
I used Shaner's gold in the 70's and 80's. It's a rich, buttery orange with
deeper orange flecks in good reduction. It needs reduction to develop the
good orange color, otherwise it winds up a flat light yellow that is pretty
insipid. It will overfire at full cone ten and is best at cone 9 or ten
starting. It can pinhole, so make sure you fire your bisque high and fire
slowly.

Earl, In handouts from one of the schools I went to I have the two glazes
listed and from a Ceramics Monthly Questions section I have five. I do
not know which year and month the Ceramics Monthly article is in or I
would just refur you to it, but, wouldn't you know, that is one I didn't
write down the date when I copied the recipes for my glaze file. Anyway
here you are:
Shaner's Orange - cone 10 reduction
5270gr. Potash Feldspar
400gr. Talc
2500gr. EPK (Kaolin)
300gr. Bone Ash
2130gr. Whiting
400gr. Red Iron Oxide
440gr. Rutile
Shaner's Brown - cone 10 reduction
4535gr. Potash Feldspar
2151gr. Kaolin
2091gr. Whiting
707gr. Red Iron Oxide
344gr. Talc
172gr. Bone Ash
The rest are in percentages
Shaner's Red Glaze Variation - cone 9-11 reduction
8.9 Bone Ash
8.9 Talc
16.3 Whiting
41.5 Custer Feldspar (potash)
24.4 EPK (kaolin)
100 percent
add:
3.6 Red Iron Oxide
1.7 Rutile
Cantrell's Shaner Red Glaze - cone 9 reduction
8.45 Bone Ash
15.20 Talc
12.67 Whiting
43.16 Custer Feldspar
20.52 Kentucky Ball Clay (OM 4)
100 percent
add:
3.58 Red Iron Oxide
1.69 Rutile
Altered Shaner Red Glaze - cone 10 reduction
3.68 Bone Ash
3.93 Talc
19.66 Whiting
48.16 Custer Feldspar
1.97 Bentonite
22.60 6 Tile Clay
100 percent
Add:
5.32 Red Iron Oxide
Shaner Red Glaze
9.48 Bone Ash
3.45 Talc
17.24 Whiting
43.97 Custer Feldspar
25.86 EPK (kaolin)
100 percent
add:
3.45 Red Iron Oxide
1.29 Rutile (milled)
Shaner Green Glaze - cone 9-11 reduction
9.1 Bone Ash
3.5 Talc
18.8 Whiting
46.5 Custer Feldspar
22.1 Kaolin
100 percent
add:
2.9 Copper Carbonate
I didn't check percentages on the first two glazes to see if they are the
same as the others and I did not check to see if all the glazes added up
to 100 percent. If they are wrong, it is probably because I made a
mistake as I copied them. Enjoy. Let us know how they turn out and which
ones you like the best.

Mr. Brunner,
You mentioned that you had used Shaner's Red. If that recipe is in the
public domain, I and perhaps others would like to try it.
