I used to have a recipe for ^8-10 reduction called "SHANER'S GOLD"
It is a beautiful soft orangy tan on brown clay and I'd love to use it
again.
When we moved to Florida after my husband retired, I pretty much gave up
potting. Retirement gets boring, so I've decided to take pottery
courses at
the local college where they have a big gas kiln. I'm not happy with
their glazes and I'd like to introduce this one in particular to them.
Does anyone have a copy of it they'd be willing to share?
Reading all the messages and exchanges of ideas and expertise on this
website has fired up my enthusiasm for pots again. It's wonderful.
Thanks, Jeanette

See Glaze Base at The Ceramic Web at

Shaner's Gold is in there. I searched for it by putting a 10 in the cone
field and clicking search, It came up in the first page of results, I tried
a search on Shaner's in the Name field but did not get it that way.

I don't believe I have ever tried this formular, but it came from the person
I bought my berkeley potters guild studio from, about 15 years ago. She
loved it. I'd be interested in the results.

cone10 reduction
custer feldspar 2635 grams
e.p.k. 1250
talc 200
bone ash 150
whiting 1065 total 5300

Thank you for sending me the web site address. I'm new at the computer
and really appreciate all the wonderful nuances of finding information.
It's been so interesting and helpful to read all the messages going back and
forth. I have now collected several variations on the recipe for
"Shaner's Gold" so by the time I finish trying them all in very small batches,
I hope to have found one that fits the clay at the college. Thanks, Jeanette

I believe that the formula you give for orange is the one I used as "gold."
I didn't know about the others though, so thank you for answering, and
I plan to try all three. It may be that none of them will work on the clay the
college uses, but we need to experiment a little. Thanks, Jeanette
