Hi,

M.L. in canada - down load Matrix when you can and if
you run into any problems I will try and help you
along the way. I run several programs but this one
seems to ring the bell for what you are looking for
and is easy to use/understand. I'm sure you can find
others using other programs willing to do the same!

Thank you David for you advise.

I am ever hesitant with glaze calculation programs because I am not getting
what I want from numbers.
True, that by calculating the glaze, I can predict what should happen. It
is that "should" word that I cannot
work with.

With both understanding Seger and making predictions, but still making the
glaze, firing it and examing the glaze, am I satisfied.

The Grid method has such high appeal to me, because I have a visual tile
with straight forward backup information telling me why each square on the
grid did what it did.

I heartily believe the entire big picture of glaze chemistry is important to
understand. What was that about the ignorant being blissful? Now that I
am delving into it, I realize, of course, that understanding Seger shows me
why it is an important component of glaze testing. Just like anything else,
understanding something, like our materials, opens the enormous highway to
potential and sucesses. However, I am committed to see what the glaze does
in my kiln, not what it should do by what the computer tells me. Computers
are great, kilns are greater for my purposes.

I will in time, work out my personal balance for using both.

As for glaze calculation programs, there are several to try. I have not
thought a lot about it for now. John and Ron's would probably be my choice
because I "know" them from our correspondence on the list and off. There
are several I can download to try out and I thank the Clayarters who have
sent me links to them.

This is a topic on which a pretty long book
could be written. It is actually amazing how often
the firing does not tell us things that the chemistry
does. The firing does not tell us why the glaze is
crazing, why it is matte, why it is running, why
it is pink instead of green, etc. Sometimes a firing
leads us to believe that a glaze test is a complete
failure but the numbers show that it should work.
Subsequent work reveals that kiln cooling, thickness,
material choice, chemistry used for a material,
or a ton of other things are the problem.
Engineers at the frit companies work with
numbers, and when things do not work those numbers
are often vindicated and other things are found to
be the problem.

Chemistry really shines when you work within a \'system\'
and make small changes. If glaze A is working and you
want to adjust a certain physical property, calculation
really works. If you are taking a stab in the dark with
a completely new recipe and materials and what to predict
what it is going to do in your circumstances calculation
sometimes sucks, it is just one piece of the puzzle.
The trick is to relate the properties of an existing glaze
to its formula and work to understand the link better and
better over time. Once you understand the degree of control
over properties is remarkable.

Material blending, like the techniques Ian teaches are
invaluable. It is really nice that we have proponents
of both approaches, the rivalry lets observers choose which
approach is better for them. I think both camps agree that
both approaches are valuable and complement each other.

That one paragraph does not sum up my opinion. The rest of the post does
though! and there are we in agreement that both "camps" are important and
absolutely relevant to each other.

There we can really agree, as I said I need to find my personal balance for
both approaches.

People learn things in different orders, but once all t he pieces are on the
table, a big complete shape is formed.

This is a very exciting time and with so much research available in so many
forms, i have plenty to do to keep out of trouble. But I like trouble
sometimes. Clayart room?

I don't see the difference between using ions or oxides unless there
are different amounts of different ions of the same metal. If there
were I don't know how you would determine the amounts of each. I think
this will just end up as a different system of comparison, different
ratios will turn up, but will be equivalents to ratios used in the
other system.

To toot my own horn, I will be giving a short lecture on Glaze
calculation, that is how to do it for Mathiphobes at the NCECA
conference in March. I will try to get the entire thing into the NCECA
journal after the conference. If it is much delayed I may publish it to
the web or submit it to Ceramics Technical or one of the other mags. It
may be appropriate for Pottery Making Illustrated or CM. I have been
giving this lecture for a few years and have it down to 1 1/2 hours but
will be given only 1 hr at NCECA. It probably won't be as funny as it
usually is, something has to give.

I had nothing to do with John's program by the way - except being a beta
tester and advisor.

I learned to calculate by hand - or should I say slide rule - the
calculators weighed about 20 pounds and could only do addition and
subtraction. I don't recommend anyone learn to do the calculations by the
way - the useful information you would get by doing that is better gotten
from a complete list of the real analysis of the materials you use.

First the Seger formula.
Then some limits to work to.
Then a list of material complete with analysis including 5 LOI.

If you know where the MgO is it is easy to add it or reduce it - it is
really quite simple once you get by learning how to use a program. Learning
how to calculate by hand simply makes the job longer - and to my way of
thinking is a needless step.

Hi Nancy,

I'm doing a two day workshop in Arkansas Feb. 5 &6th.
Flat Rock Studio
Clay Supplies & Gallery
479.521.3181
2002 S School, Fayetteville, AR 72701

Kelley is organizing it and there is a limit to the number of partisipants.

Just me talking and illustrating how it works. It will help and you can ask
questions but they will be mostly beginners I think so I won't be able to
go into a lot of detail.

A better one for you would be the 5 day hands on type.

Non booked as yet but if you care to come to Ontario - in July I am fairly
certain there will be one at Loyalist College - just down the road from us
here. Loyalist is in Bellville - on the North Shore of Lake Ontario. A long
days drive from Washington - certanly no more than a day and a half.

Send me your mailing address and phone # and I will put you on the "to
notify" list. That way I can let you know when others are being planned.

You may want to attend my talk at NCECA this next March - all about how I
used glaze calculation to come up with my own shino type glaze.

Let me know if you need more on this - RR

Nancy -

Short of a course, 3 suggestions:

HyperGlaze software - I think Richard has built into
this teaching features which would be a great start.

Val Cushing's HANDBOOK includes discussion and
worksheets to guide you.

Ian Currie's workshops are excellent particularly if
combined with the above.

IMHO it's worth the effort to understand glazes. You
can take Cushing's discussions of various ingredients
and start tweaking glazes you already know. Keep lots
of notes.

Good luck.

Nancy,
A Handbook of Pottery Glazes by David Green is excellent reading and
teaches glaze calculation as a history lesson. I think you'll find it
readable.
Don't get the idea that the basic process is complicated. Its not.

Louis

My online (free) calculator is at:

It is not very instructive, not customizable, doesn't include some
important oxides, is very limited in scope, but does figure out recipes
from mol formulas .

Sorry for anyone intimidated by Glaze Calculation.

Sorrier when the Intimidated One is a woman, because I suspect, fear, dread
that this is part and parcel of the Intimidation of Women Re: Science--which
Larry Summers alluded to at Harvard, and it cost him a lot of pain! My
Mother was convinced Major Body Parts would atrophy at best, fall off at
worst, in women who could "do math" beyond a shopping or laundry list,
understand "scientific" stuff beyond the making of mayonnaise...I had hoped
those times were gone...

Glaze Calculation with a program is easy. With pencil, paper, calculator it
is no more difficult than mapping out a long trip, and deciding what to
pack. It is more challenging than chess, and requires less skill than a
British crossword puzzle. It is a matter of sitting down and doing it.

With all due modesty I suggest whoever is intimidated try the Basic Internet
Glaze Course. Work at it for a few hours and see what happens.

To my biased mind--at SAC we learned glaze calculation from day one--glaze
calculation is an essential part of today's potting.

Once upon a time it did not matter: the ONLY materials around were clay,
ash, cullet, soda, and like that. Stuff you found locally.

Today we get refined and varied materials from all over the world. Today
we have choices, and the making of these choices is key to making good
glazes. And we care more about the "goodness" of glaze. We want, the market
demands, glazes that meet certain criteria, which are best checked by
calculation.

And I would add this--said she, sticking her head into the noose--even those
among us who cherish and pursue antique and arcane glazes--the look that
"made" 12th Century Chinese Porcelain, or Medieval British Earthenware, or
whatever great-- can benefit from being able to calculate these glazes.

No. Glaze calculation is not essential. Many a splendid potter has never
used, cared, learned etc. Fine. It is a choice. And still I think the
right choice is to learn it, and if one hates it, dismiss it from the point
of view of knowledge, not intimidation.

Ok, I have to disagree with you here.

a. mel doesn't do it either and he's a man
b. I got excellent marks in chemistry, calculus, and finite math
c. glaze calculation makes my eyes glaze over

I understand the principles and, as a qualified owner of my
own time, I am not going to spend time on this.

I don't butcher my own meat either. But I can make dishes
that will make your mouth water.

A basic knowledge of chemicals and minerals and glaze
formulation and firing is essential. But not every part of
pottery is for every potter.

I think a mastery of brushwork helps people design work
and is an essential element of beautiful work. But I don't
think people have to learn how to do it in detail before they
decide that is not their path.

You can have fine pottery without any glaze at all. "A jack
of all trades is a master of none" has a powerful grain of
truth in it.

I just started looking at Currie's grid method. This may be a way for folks
to go who don't find glaze calculating appealing. Looking at his 32 little
cups, you are put more in mind of Easter Egg coloring than being in a
chemical laboratory.

And it allows you to investigate materials for which there is no
analysis. This is a key advance for such potters. Once you see how your
wild material reacts with alumina and silica........the many potential
glazes on the tiles beg to be elaborated.

Cheers, to Ian,

Hi everyone,
So I have this Glaze Calculation Software, and if
it is ever going to be anything other than a
glaze recipe database, I need to learn how to use
it. I have this recipe which is somewhat
appealing, but which had a note that said COE is
low, raise to at least 65. Use less Talc,
increase sodium, Magnesium, and potassium.

Original Recipe:

Gerst.Bor. 99 31
Talc 14
Custer Feld. 20
EPK 5
Silica 30
add RIO 15

This is what I came up with.
GB 99 30
Talc 10
Custer 27
Silica 22
Whiting 6
add RIO 15

Of course I haven't tested it yet. Si:Al is
10.74
Al is .275, Si is 2.95, MgO is actually lower,
but CaO and K2O are higher. COE is 65.4. These
all seem to be acceptable ranges, but are there
things I am missing?

Any feedback?

Hi Clifford,

Good for you for asking.

First - your revision only totals 95 without the iron is that correct?

Your alumina and silica levels are down so you have changed the way the
glaze will look by doing that - and you made it unstable because the
alumina is lower than recommended. You also lowered the MgO enough to make
a difference as well.

If you look at the expansion of that glaze with the iron included you will
see - the expansion is not all that low.

If someone had asked me to raise the expansion of that glaze a significant
amount I would say it's not possible and have the same result - I would
simply say - make sure the iron is in it to keep the expansion at a safe
level.

It is always a good idea to test any glaze you think has to low an
expansion with the clays you are using - there are some clays on the market
that will dunt and/or shiver with this glaze - even with the iron in it.

Let me know if you need any help with glaze calculation - I think it's a
good idea to have potters around that can do it.

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful responses.
I have been away from the list for a few days,
but am happy to see your responses. First, the
Glaze is Ketchup Red, Cone 6, oxidation, and my
original recipe did not add up to 100. I used
Glazemaster, and reset it to 100, then added 15%
Iron. Actually the program called for 16.6% RIO,
but I left it at 15. It didn't occur to me that
an ingredient was missing. I like the feedback
about keeping ratios the same. I actually read
more emails, and decided to avoid using GB, and
went with a frit-based formula:
ff 3195 32
talc 11
custer 21
om4 5
silica 21
whiting 10

COE 66
Si:Al 11.38

Anyway, I have no expectations, since it's glazed
and ready to fire. I'll see what it looks like.
I tested it with overlaps of several other
glazes.
I am trying to remember the source. At first I
thought it came from Frog Pond Website, but then
I had a vague memory of taking it from CM last
year some time. So, at the time I wrote the
notes, Idid not label them as mine, and then I
assumed they were John's--re the low COE.
Anyway, Looking at the iron as more than just a
colorant makes sense to me, given the large
quantity. I am concerned about Iron leaching. I
guess I'll see what happens and then worry about
leaching if I like the glaze. Feedback on the
new version? Did I mess it up even worse?

I look forward to hearing from you.
