Dear John: I usually email you offline about whether a
glaze is COOL or not - and know you've been pretty
responsive in the past but also know you've been
pretty busy with the book and all...I use this white
Shino (cone 10 redux) I found with spodumene. Probably
leaches like a sieve (bad functional potter!). My
question is, I've been firing a celadon next to it,
and now the celadon that used to fire to olive green
breaking to khaki brown is the Color of Money with big
black iron spots (when I fire with shino in same
load(?)) Any ideas out there?

Hi Katheleen,

I know you addressed this primarily to me, but I don't have a clue on this
one. Hopefully someone who has worked more with shinos and celadons will
chime in.

John

Hi Katheleen.

It may be the influence of the sodium - it becomes volitile above cone 6
and you have a lot of Neph Sy and some soda spar plus some soda ash - that
is a pile of sodium - as shino's should have.

Just as a mater of curiosity - the celadon does not craze - right? and the
shino does?
