it is one of joe koon's new chinese based glazes.
we are using a very bright red iron.
about 11 percent.
we also are doing a yellow temmoku.
10 percent ochre.
so,
look at the website below.
you will see it.

Mel,

I noticed your "red temmoku" post and the glazes looks very nice. To me
they look very similar to kaki glazes, (aka persimmon, ohata, tomato red,
iron red, iron saturate, etc.) and I was wondering if there is a
difference that makes you call them "red temmoku"?

Thanks,

Checked out the pots!
Only one word can describe them.
Beautiful!
I especially enjoyed the layering.

Mel & Joe-

The new temmokus are absolutely gorgeous! I had the honor of seeing a
red hare's fur temmoku bowl by Chinese artist Da Peng Chen when we were
in Aomori, Japan in 2002. Your glazes are just as nice, with even
larger oil spots.
Question: one of the most treasured Song teabowls has the Yohen (kiln
change) effect where the oil spots are black and the background has a
blue/silver iridescence. I believe this effect is due to crystal
growth during cooling. Have you witnessed this effect at all? Some of
your new glazes have a ting of blue in the background...very nice!

Can't wait to see one in person,

-Sam

Mel's red tenmoku bowls remind me of an oil spot effect, produced in oxidation.

read ceramics monthly.
March 2005.
the entire story with many recipes listed.
the process includes a great deal of layers.
finding what works for you and your students will
be a fascinating study.
remember. i fired to cone 13/ox.
also, look at some iron red recipes, and think of
them fired oxidized.
