Hello,

Shocking Shino was the recipe I wrote to satisfy my need for that orange/=
rust
and tan to whatever color came out in the background on my wares fired in=

electric.
I have many people ask for pictures of this glaze but I have none to offe=
r and
I am still learning about this glaze myself. I have about 30 ways of chan=
ging
the hue and range of colors I use both TiO2 and iron both SRIO and RIO. A=
lso
Rutile with its little additions help as well. Even a mild wash with iron=
here
and there helps. (I do have a secret ingredient to help carry it a tad mo=
re
orange). I'll eventually give that up.

I love shino glazes but I know that they are hard to replace with any ele=
ctric
ones. But I like to mimmick the close relationships and flow I see in the=
^10
range. (One I used to fire at I might add)!

The Shocking shino came up when I was playing with many new glaze tests I=
had
been running and fooling with. I got a pearl or two from the kiln and was=

excited but had no name in mind other than the test numbers I assigned to=
it.
However I did have some shino pieces sitting on a shelf that were soft fi=
red
and looked real neat. I placed the electric version up to it and boom, it=
was
a very close match. I had many of our members to look at the two and all =
gave
the same analogy so that is how the glaze was named. It also fits the bil=
l for
FeO and meets some of the Shino glazes I have used criteria for other tha=
n the
firing method. I was really impressed with the already posted web site I =
here,
but if you missed it once you need to go back and look at it. Very nice
Shino's... Make me slobber like a hound dog.

The shocking shino I have looks very similar to the (Four cups) on this
website on gallery two. That might give you some idea on what to look for=

as sweet but very close!!!!

Will,

What is your full recipe for this Shino ^6 Ox? Or is that a trade secret?
;-)

Just a quick note, I'm going crazy trying to get work done before I leave
for Charlotte -- unfortunately, it's day job stuff, not clay work.

But I'm glad I got this message before going No Mail on this list:

These cups are gorgeous. I know the discussion is about the shino glaze but
it's their form I love. Yesterday on the Discovery Channel there was a show
on Neanderthals. (No, I'm not saying these cups are clunky.) Several tools
the people used were shown, and they really were admirably made. Extremely
sharp spear points and knives, fitting efficiently into the maker's hand,
they were just right. That's the same feel I get from looking at these
cups. These look like they want to be held.

Thank you for the link!
