In the book, we are told that we could consider Waterfall Brown as a final
exam (I think that was the wording). Then we were encouraged to try
different color variants. I am wondering if anyone here has played with
variants of WFB? If so, how did they turn out?

Hear is a glaze I developed for cone 6 reduction I am not through testing it
but it shows promise
Turner Falls
Frit 3134 45
Silica 22
Spodumene 20
OM4 10
Wallastonite 3
Red Iron 12.5
Rutile 1
In electric cone 6-7 not as fluid as waterfall thin it is blue gray with
some rutile flow. Brakes nice. Thick it is cream. In reduction there is a
little more flow. Thin it is gold at cone 8 with crystals forming all over
the place thicker it stars to have strong Iron blue tendencies with rutile
flow. Should react with copper and rutile well which is what it was
formulated for. Not much copper max 1% rutile 3-5%. If I remimber the text
on waterfall the authors stated that they were having trouble with other
colors pin holing maybe a cleaner burning ball clay would solve this problem.
Good luck
Dean
