matte orange/shino type glaze for cone 6 ox

Dear Clayart,

I have been firing cone 10 reduction for the past 5 years and am now moving
to cone 6 oxidation. I am happy with all of the cone six glazes I am using,
but miss having a nice rust orange shino glaze. I tired Malcom Davis shino
in the 6 ox firing and it was not orange or nice at all.

Any formulas that any one would share would be great!

Thank you,

You may want to try Richard's Brusch's nutmeg glaze to see how it turns out
for you. I had to vary it by changing the kaolin to red art to get what I
wanted. I also use wo do white sprayed over it to get some nice cream
breaking red variations. My variation works better if you spray the nutmeg
on thin. The thicker you put it on thou gives you more of a yellow breaking
red. You can see some of these glazes at the below web sit.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to turn out very well - different
atmosphere & temperature.

I've had some good results with two glazes. One is Falls Creek Shino,
not really a shino glaze, but does come close in ^6 oxidation. Just
do search in the archives for it.

The other glaze is Nutmeg, which is really a combination of two
glazes. This glaze was written up in CM some time ago - don't know if
it will show up in the archives or not.

My recipes for these glazes are at school and I'm not, so I can't
provide them at this time.

Randy,

Could you give me a hint as to when this glaze might have been mentioned on
Clayart. The archives go back to 1996.
