Suzanne, I have two different types of maiolica glazes. The first is Liz
Quakenbush's "No Pinhole Maiolica"
Frit 3124...........70
Ball.........................7
Zircopax..............10
Frit 3110............10
Bentonite..............5
Silica...................14

This glaze should have a pudding consistency, and it is brushed on in two
coats.

This black maiolica glaze process comes from Deborah Groover.

"Black Maiolica" "Groover Maiolica"
Frit 3124...........30 White 04-03
Frit 3195...........36 Frit 3124.............66
F-4 Feldspar.....17 F-4 Feldspar......17
Kaolin...................11 Kaolin....................11
Neph sy..................6 Neph sy....................6
Mason 6600.........10 Zirco.......................11
Mason 6121...........2
Special instructions: apply black glaze first, then use wax resist to create
a pattern or image and let driy. After the wax has dried, apply white glaze,
then apply colors. Use a hydrometer to keep the glazes at a viscosity of 50.
I hope these help. Email me with any questions as I've used both methods.
