Subject: ash glazes,=20
Hi John,
I was skimming the digest form of clayart this morning and saw your =
post. I am sending you some glazes at ^6 I have used with good success. =
The runny tan ash formula I use the most as goes well over a nice off =
white satin matt. Have only used these on decorative and never used =
them on functional, as I don't do too much functional. =20
Runny Ash ^6
Gert. Borate 14.0%
Lithium Carb 5.0
Whiting 19.0
Wood Ash 19.0
unwashed
Alberta Slip 34%
ASP 400 or 9.0
georgia kaolin
Use this glaze very thin. =20
Blue Ash from Lenore Vanderkoi ^6
Gert. Borate 13.6%
Lithium Carb 4.5
Ash 18.2
Whiting 18.7
Alberta Slip 36.4

Currently on my test table but haven't fired up the woodstove yet! =
Sooner than I had hoped though.
Leach Yellow Seto ^6
Wood Ash 50%
Ochre 25%
Custer 25%
Keep thin or will scraping your kiln shelves. Would like to substitue =
redart or goldart for the ochre but haven't tried it yet. My notes also =
say add 3% copper carb for black. This glaze has all the making for a =
diasater but will give it try.
The satin matt is an old Hal McWhinnie formula from a really old CM =
Liked it alot but don't use it anymore. ^6-8

mid December. All the best.......

Stupid question I know, but are those ash glazes reduction or oxidation?
Thanks,
Barbara

Not a stupid question, mostly i would say that if its in Gas or wood its
Reduction, if fired in electric , oxydation
