The easy way to get brown that I know is with an albany slip glaze. Albany slip is not available anymore but there are some decent substitutes.
What cone?
What color clay are you using?
The one that I use doesn't look good over my white clay, but it's nice over a darker body.
Some of the recipes are basic, only a few ingredients.
You can get a brown color engobe with combinations of red iron and manganese.

Bob,
I would suggest that you go into Digital Fire on the internet. They have one section that lists just about every colorant and the colors you can expect when using them.

Hi Bob,
As a "newbie" to the wonderful world of clay, you are going to have many
questions, and the Clayart Listserve is a great place to get answers to the
many questions you are going to have for the next several weeks, months,
years. However, I would also suggest that you consider the book titled
"Clay, A Studio Handbook" by Vince Pitelka. It is very comprehensive and I
am sure it will answer many of your questions. It is published by the
American Ceramics Society and you probably can go to their website to order
it. If not, Vince is a regular on the Listserv and you could contact him.
Well, I did not answer your question, but I am sure you will get several
responses from potters much more experienced in the whole "glaze process"
that I. By the way, I have no personal interest in the marketing of Vince's
book - It is just the best one I have found. Best of luck.
