Greetings :)

I have been in search of a c/6 yellow matte glaze without the use of
stains. I found the following glaze in the archives, from Ababy Sharon and
revised by Ron Roy. What a gorgeous glaze :)


_Butterscotch_
Frit 3134 25
Dolomite 12
Lithium carbonate 2
Custer feldspar 10
Kentucky OM #4 26
Silica 25
ADD:
Titanium dioxide 9
Rutile 4


I changed the feldspar and the ball clay to what I had. Ababy's notes
read: yellow tan gloss glaze with white frosting throughout. Frosting has
bluish hue where heaviest.

I found that it was glossy only in thinner spot which is also where it was
brightest. The frosting was a nice surprise; I had never seen glazes like
that.

I am still testing a few other possibilities and will post them if anything
turns out close to yellow :)

Cheers,

Fabienne

I can reproduce them exactly.

Fabienne, were the feldspar and ball clay the ones that were listed in the
recipe you posted, or were they different? If the listed ones weren't the
ones you used, could you tell us what you did use? I think any variation in
ingredients will make some sort of difference in the end result. Thanks!

Sorry about the confusion. I used what I listed below. The ball clay in
the version of the glaze I found in the archives listed G200 spar and just
ball clay.

From Ababy's post, I gather this recipe has been through quite a bit of
reformulation and still works. You've got to love glaze calculation
software :)
