cone 6 glaze list: looking for people who use these

updated thu 15 jun 00

 

Andie on sat 10 jun 00


Thanks to Don Goodrich's amazing web glaze list on his page, I now have =
more glaze recipes to play with than I do space & time. I'm wondering if =
anyone out there has used these, and if you'd be willing to give me a =
short description so I can prioritize. (I'm also trying to learn more =
about mixing my glazes, and having a description while looking at the =
recipe I've found helps me to make the connections between the chemicals =
and what they do.) In particular, I'm looking for primarily glossy =
glazes, so if any of these are matte, let me know. Also, some of them =
have ambiguous names, so I'm not entirely sure what color family they =
belong to.

Hello Andie!

Earthmother:.............. ........................This one I did not like
or did not understand. Try it with raku firing
Emily's Blue
Fred's Glasslike Glaze
Glossy Turquoise/Metallic Jade: ...........Very special but problematic
somehow, you have to test how much to apply
Green Breaking Tan
Leather
Lizard: ..................................................Interesting Both

To make it "KEENER" change the feldspar into Nephalin sienite.


OGDEN GOLD (^6 OX)

Manganese 60
Copper Oxide 10
Red clay 20
China Clay 10
Warning: way too high in manganese to be foodsafe!


PERIWINKLE (^6 OX)
Gerst. Borate - 49.0
EPK - 19.0
Silica - 37.0
Soda Ash - 0.2
Ultrox - 5.0
Cobalt carb. - 2.5
Denim Blue/purple mix, shows texture underneath, will work at c/5, too.
From: JFTRT GLAZE! above all clays white, mottled and all others


"SUBSTITUTION ^6 FOR ^10

Simply substitute the potash feldspar for Neph Sy feldspar. Most cone 10
glazes can be lowered to cone 6 with this simple adjustment.
MAYBE add 10% Gerstley Borate in addition to the substitution."

Thank you Don!

H, I am fairly new to Clayart. Where can I find Don Goodrich's glaze list?
I am starting to mix glazes at cone 6 and would love to try these glazes.
Thanks Audrey
