yellow without iron

Carol Tripp on sat 20 apr 02


I have a nice glaze, ^6 ox, that's yellow.
BUTTER SATIN GLOSS
36 custer feldspar
20 Frit 3124
16 Talc
20 EPK: I calcine half of this so it's 10 regular and 8.6 calcined
8 Wollastonite

3% Tin Oxide
5% rutile (if you want a lighter yellow, use 3%)

I also tried it with 3%tin, 5% rutile and 2% RIO and got a dark honey but I
prefer the Butter. Used as a liner in a mug with iron red on the outside,
the yellow looks like the sun is inside the mug.
Best regards,
Carol

Try it with 5 rutile and 10 titanium or even 7-10 rutile and 15-20
titanium I made once a lovely mistake, doubling the amounts
