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
Frit3100............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.

Thanks so much--Liz Quackenbush's recipe looks like it may be similar to the
old one I used to use. You say to brush it on in two coats...Can I dip the
pots? Twice or what? But, actually, Deborah Groover's process is one of
the specific ones I had in mind.I really liked the way the glaze almost
melted away in parts to show the black, and it seemed to make the white
glaze and colors richer..I have been gone so long, I am challenged by the
hydrometer part. I don't recall her using a hydrometer at a workshop I
attended some years ago...I don't even know what that is. How do you use
it? I am going out this weekend to get supplies, and plan to mix a small
batch for some tests, but now I am wondering if it will be hard HARD. What
do you think? Thanks for taking the time. suz
