I may have missed an important bit of this thread in all the posts
lately - if so please forgive the possibly duplicate question.....
Do you find that the body makeup (ie percentage of Ti or Fe or whatnot)
turns your blue celedons green?
I have always had trouble getting a blue celedon - light green yes light
blue no..... I have been wondering if I need to change to a different
porcelan.

Hi:
My rant about not wanting to pass recipes along to non clayarters is
probably one of the dumbest things I've ever said on this list. OK, that's
open to debate.
This is not a time to deny help of any kind to anyone and I'm glad that I
quickly came to that conclusion. SO, if any of you would like to hear my
take on blue celadons and try one of my recipes I would be happy to be of
help. I've recently made some blue celadons with available materials and
they are working pretty well. My old recipes all had Kingman feldspar and,
as many of you know, it's no longer available.
I'll post the info later tonight. I'm writing this while downing a peanut
butter sandwich. Be sure and tell Kelly, if you see her. I had to forego
the jelly though. I'm now heading back to the claypile.

Glad to hear Craig is willing to share. As you know, we all got started
in glazing from the kindness of strangers (or friends), whether it was
from Leach's book or a Xeroxed handout or a teacher/friend in a workshop.
In my mind, anyone who recieves recipes, is dutifully bound by a unspoken
oath to pass them on. It think now they call it "pay it forward".
But all you have to do is go to the archives and type in "blue celadon" in
the subject line...voila... you will have what you request. That is the
beauty of Clayart!

Craig referenced the Titanium issue in a post just posted, I know that
Tom Coleman's Porcelain available from Aardvark does the Iron Blue
Celadon real well. I really like it's throwing , and translucency
qualities.
