while looking for that piece on Friedlander someone wanted, I came =

the article (CM 3/95)included some recipes. I tried only two, adapted =
to eliminate barium . The originals are marked c.7-8 but they turned =
out so super in my c. 6 TEST kiln, I want to pass them on right now.
TY Iron Red/Adapted
Bone Ash 11.36
Talc 12.50
Whiting 10.23
Feldspar (used Custer) 52.27
Flint 13.64
Fe203 13.64
Just lovely rich glorious brown
TY Buckwheat, adapted
Strontium 2.83
talc 6.60
Whiting 16.98
NephSy 56.60
Kaolin 7.55
Flint 9.44
Iron 7.55
This turned out too dry for my taste--but a rich satisfying color; worth =
trying. On YOUR clay body it may mature fully, or at least to what I =
think of as fully--but as I said I only tried in test kiln..
Furthermore: I mixed up JUST the colorants in Richard Busch's Buckwheat =
glaze which is a lithium glaze with high magnesium and some boron. The =
mix is
Fe2O3 1.07
Yellow Ochre 3.24
Tin 4.85
bentonite 1.94
I tried it as a colorant and some other glazes. Promising promising.

Lili --
Just got a test of your adaptation of Mr. Yeh's
iron red -- I found it to be a glorious brown, with
what I'd call orange (rather than red) specks
throughout. It looks perfectly vitrified and so far
shows no sign of crazing or other flaws.
When I looked for a pot to test it on I found a cup
with a handle that had disattached at one end in the
bisque (at least it'd looked ok to me when I put it
in). I didn't much care because it was a test anyway,
but when I took it out it was sealed -- the glaze had
bridged the gap. So I guess I'd have to say that
you've given us a glaze that cures the flaws in ware.
I'll start the tests tomorrow; do some freezer to heat
cycles and so forth.
Many thanks -- Steve S.
