Dear all
I need a formula and temperature, but a recipe will do if the analyses
of the frit used is included, for a turquoise Raku glaze, smooth mat but
clear will do, To go on sculptural piece so glaze fit not too important
apart from shivering ( But I can not for the life of me see how you could
get a turquoise to do that) I understand it will be oxidized.
Could I get a metallic luster on top in the original firing or would I be
best just putting on a separate copper luster later . I suppose a little
burning - in of the luster would be nice but not necessary.
Please.
-- Regards Paul Talyor.

Even dead things change they just change more slowly.

This is a really nice turquoise Raku glaze...in postfire reduction you can
get nice copper penny flashing, as well as some nice red/cranberry spots.
Can be a bit runny, but manageable.
