Hi all-
Here's a link to a page with a bunch of tests from last week-
A wood/salt potter's first attempts at electric glazes. I want to be
able to make pots in the winter and stay warm. I got charged up by the
"lookof wood" article in CM.
Not too much extraordinary but a few nice things. There are a lot
of images, so it might take a while to load on a dial up. If it's too
cumbersome I'll try to figure out how to split it up into multiple pages.

Thanks for posting your results. I use the VC71, and i think it's one
of the nicest whites around. I use it on grolleg porcelain, and it
goes opalescent. The VC72 is nice too. =20
You got really nice results from your tests. Hope you are inspired!

Hi John,
Cool tests. But I am wondering about the cones. Me, I don't know much & I
have led a very sheltered life pottery-wise, but cone 7 melted to the floor
looks like the heat work was pretty thorough and past cone 6.
I was also wondering how the Bailey Iron Orange feels to the touch. My stab
at it yielded a mild fine sandpaper surface. Nice colour though.
And did you know that VC 71 is the same base as the one for Xavier's Warm
Jade Green - a big favourite of many Clayarters?
Best regards,

Where do you live that is so cold in the winter that you can't fire outside?
Just being nosey.

We are still wearing sweaters! It's March. Tough winter we are having.

Hi John...I really enjoyed your well done test presentation of ^6 glazes
this morning...especially since my testing is at a standstill with house
buying, selling and readying for my move to Jacksoneville Fl. You did a
great job. It also made me think that I should seriously consider a
computerized kiln...which one did you settle on? Lori in New Port Richey,
Fl.

Hi John,
What a great set of test glazes. You ought to be very pleased you got
so many interesting ones out of a single firing. Congratulations.
Regards,
John

Dear John,
I have saved your site to look over when I had really time to do so. That is
now. The glazes are many of which I have tried, with also a good success
rate like you have had. The VC72 is in my book for the next round of tests,
so I have something to compare it to with your trials. Overall, your test
results are similar, if not the same, to mine. I therefore, again, say that
I think glazes can travel! Moreover, I like your throwing style. The cups
and bowls with irregular rims, etc. have a very nice lose handling that I
personally like very much. Thank you for the effort and photos. I hope
soon to get a site also where I can post results. I have the digital camera
so now I need to set up the web site. It could happen one day!
I have also been very impressed with the Ron and John Licorice. It has been
a great glaze for me most recently. I use a different frit, but the depth
of color is very good. Inside bowls, it can pool blue, which is appealing.
I have found all of the J&R glazes reliable. I have a batch of glazes to
test soon, so I will post them when ready.

Hi Alisa-
It's funny - your posts were definitely a primary motivator for me.
When I went to the archives to see what there was concerning cone 6 ox,
it seemed that you had tested and posted results for hundreds of glazes-
some of which I am still trying out.
I think glazes surely travel ( as long as information about application
and firing travel with them)- I've learned about glazes partially by
getting every recipe I could from every interesting source available (
and also every book on glazes/chemistry). I read recipes at night before
I go to sleep. I am getting into glaze calc software, now, too- it seems
another good tool that you can use to correllate similar information
over a wide range of " behavior".
In the last batch I tried WoDo White, which was sort of
crystalline/crusty, not unpleasant, but pretty hard- is that your
result as well? Also I am curious about whether you got good results
from the soda ash/rutile wash?
The rims are a result of a minor obsession with pinched teabowls ( most
of the "teabowl" shapes in the tests are pinch pots, but I do it when I
throw now, too) - there's sort of an infinite variety of satisfying ways
to go around that circle.
Well, time to go make pots-
all the best
John A

Has anyone posted the receipe for VC72? I couldn't find it in the archives
and would like to try it.

Hi John....I think you have the wrong person [much as I'd like to take the
praise for your inspiration]. I,m Alice and quite new on Clayart. I 'm
doing experimental firings in reduction cone 6. Hope you find Alisa.
