I tried the wood fired look glaze from Richard Bursh article in Ceramics
Monthly. Thought I mixed all the materials correctly. When tested in my
gas kiln to cone 7 all I got was a nice clear glaze instead of the toasty
red/brown.
Did I not mix correctly? Does gas make that much of a difference? Do I
need to add more iron and yellow ochre? It was the same clear glaze whether
applied thick or thin.
Any help would be appreciated.
