We discussed this some time ago, but I can't find it in the Archives. Today I
received 8 hedgeapples, they weighed a ton, cost a bundle to ship and I
better do something with a glaze. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Several years ago I tried a hedgeapple (the fruit of the Osage orange
tree) on a plate in the Tozan wood firing. It made a big splat of lighter
color and was pretty un attractive. I had the plate sitting on the brick
barbecue's mantle in the back yard until a windstorm blew it off and it
broke.
I think that almost any fruit would do the same thing. I am going to try
it with a pear in the next gas firing here.
I have been saving all the pears that drop on the ground from my pear
tree and letting them rot down over the months in a small garbage can until
they are totally dried out. I am going to burn this and save the ash for an
ash glaze, I have read that the tree puts a lot of minerals from the soil
into the fruit. Should be interesting.

karin,
if you fire the hedgeapples in a glazed bowl you can get halos around some
ashglaze marks (where the hedge apple burned)
see picture in studio potter magazine dec.99 david shaner monograf.
hope this helps,
marta

Karin and Clayarters,
If you are using the archives at ,
to search for "hedgeapples", you should click on the
"Glazes"
category then on "ash."
You might also happen to find posts in the "misc"
subcategory,
but at the moment, the posts there are your current one and
the replies made to it.
Helen

I recently tried some hedgeapples from Victoria, with similar results - the
best colour was from the path of the smoke across the clay. But I had a
very attractive result on a dish by mixing some of the seeds in a tomato
red glaze.
Also tried the same thing with seeds from citrus fruit, but not as nice.
But one test on my clay in my kiln does not really prove much.
Cheers. Graeme.
