frit for bailey's ha1 high alkaline glaze

updated wed 2 jul 03

 

clifton wood on tue 24 jun 03


hi, all.

i'm getting ready to test a bunch of glazes, including some from Michael Bailey's
Glazes Cone 6 book.

For the recipe for his HA1 high alkaline glaze (p 56 in my copy), he calls for 47%
"high alkaline frit".

well, i'm a glaze dummy.

and my first guesses would be ferro 3124 or ferro 3134... because i THINK they're the
only alkaline frits in our glaze cupboard suitable for mid range.

so - what do you think?

any advice will be most welcome.

thanks.

In the appendex, Bailey lists Ferro frit 3110 as being a "high alkaline
frit" He terms Ferro 3134 as a "standard borax frit" .

Clifton,

Be sure to get all the errata before you mix any glazes from that book.
Apparently there are a lot of corrections. Contact Lark publishing.

Hi, Gayle (and Clifton),

Mark Burleson's "The Ceramic Glaze Handbook," published by Lark, is out in a
corrected edition. (I still find problems, as Lark is now reporting.)

Michael Bailey's "Glazes for Cone 6," was published by A & C Black of
London.

I tried to reach Clifton off-list to suggest the he consider using Ron Roy
and John Hesselberth's "Mastering Cone 6 Glazes" (see
www.frogpondpottery.com). However, the message was returned to me as
having an invalid email address.

Bailey's book is a good one, but he pushes the boundaries, rather than
working toward stability as in Ron and John's book. I guess if I were to
recommend one single glaze book to a ^6 potter, it would be Ron and John's.
If I could recommend a second book, it would indeed be Bailey's.

Hope this email does not have a rude tone. None was intended.

3195 is used by a manufacturer/supplier I know for their cone 6 glazes.
It is not a clear frit at the low range
Try Fusion frit. they have a web site, you can buy from them and they don't
keep secrets. www.fusionceramics.com
Good luck
Rick

Hi Steve,

The jpg of the table is corrupted - it doesn't display correctly on
either Netscape or Internet Explorer.
Could you reload it to the bathpotters site?

Thanks,
Roger

I am sure that must be a *typo*; F3110 is a High Soda Frit.

In the Bath Potters Website is an analysis sheet for the Frits we sell.

High Alkaline (T) Frit is there. You could do a comparison with other
(Ferro?) Frits and use the nearest.
