Hi Richard!

Duncan glazes are factory-made glazes, most often low to mid firing range. I
think Amaco (American Art Company) makes them.

Best wishes!

Karin,


You asked about yellow glazes for Raku......I have experimented with some Duncan glazes in the raku firing. Some of them were VERY interesting and the colors are bright. Try the yellows...   and lots more colors too!                       ---Lisa in Florida

thanks for that - I have played around with what I suspect are UK
equivalents.

actually, if anyone on the east coast has a stray sample, just seal the jar
and lob it into the Atlantic - the storms we're having should get it here in
a day or two...

cheers

You can use regular lowfire commercial glazes (06-05) to raku. Just add a little frit (3130). To a 6 oz jar of glaze, add 1 teaspoon of frit. Mix well, and fire as with normal raku.

Upon removal from kiln, you can either put into reduction, or you can set out on a fire brick. Put a pad of news paper on brick so as to be under piece. Put a small piece of paper inside.
Just as the glow goes to a very, very dull red. Spray with a dilution of ferric chloride (1 tablespoon to 8 oz water). This will give you a very metallic finish. When you spray a glossy black, you get a beautiful burgandy.

As with any raku firing.........expect the unexpected and enjoy.
