julene on sat 3 may 03
I have always used a very limited palette of glazes for regular use, but do
test others to see if they would work better or to learn about the affects
from the different chemicals. I had a great high school chemistry teacher
and was probably one of the only art students to continue to take chemistry
as an elective in college. Financially it is probably better for a student
to take art as an elective, but I tend to do things a bit different and
learn from my mistakes. These days, I try to learn as much as I can from
others lives, their successes and mistakes.
One glaze that I have used for many years and tested at Cone 5 to Cone 6
touching is the following:
Plum Gloss- Albany Slip Cone 6
Albany Slip 70
Yellow Ochre 10
Frit 3134 20
This is actually my husbands favorite. If we ever had a formal dining room
with room for a complete set of dishes this would be our choice right now.
It is truly rich and elegant used with a compatable overglaze that has 2-4%
copper in it depending on the source. The overglaze if used needs to be
just at the rim or accents. At cone 5 it is not transparent just purple,
but as the heatwork increases, it does go transparent. The copper combo is
not so much green as the variations one sees in the iris of the eye.
I have tried using David Hendley's substitute, but the initial test just
gave me black. If anyone does have input on this glaze that would be great.
Julene, where the cherry blossums are blooming, but would appreciate some
sky water. Fire danger is high right now. It takes about 30 minutes to
come off the main road back into the public forest where we live. When one
sees smoke in the sky as we did last night on the way home, there is always
concern about ones location to the fire. The few people that live in our
area are all on call for fires. Some take turns manning the firetower,
though a spotter plane is used more these days. Fires are a big concern.
As we got nearer to home, this one appeared to be in Minnesota, which is
across the river. They are on a different system being more populated, more
farmland than we are, but do coordinate with the planes.

OK
The Albany slip was dug from the banks of the Albany. It gave a good glaze in high fire.
In ^6 you must add some flux. By the way you can try to use regular soil too - in ^6
with 30%-50% flux might give you good glazes ( see my site , ^6 glaze and wood
imitating glazes)

I use Handley's too ( Very handy materials). To my Israeli and European brothers:
For redart use German red clay. If you cannot find red clay take a grogless low fire
tera cotta claybody dry it weigh it and use.
In Israel you can have GRT from Minerco and Creaton might be from Ceramicon.
