Hi everyone. I would like to know as to how can we get
a real rich dark orange or brown colour that would
look beautiful on salt glazed tiles. I read in a book
that if you let your Kiln cool slowly you can get a
rich orange colour and if you cool it down too fast
the saltglaze will be very dark almost dark coffee or
purple to black. Is this true.
I had always thought that if i open up my downdraft
kiln dome holes early that would give me a light
colour which i want.
What i am looking for is a rich saltglaze colour which
is bright orange and brownish.
Coould anyone advise me as to how slowly should i cool
down my kiln after the highest temperature has been
reached and the salting is complete so that i can get
my desired saltglaze colour?
How slow should the rate of cooling be and how many
hours should it take and at what rate to be completely
cooled
Thanks
Vivek
