Hello,
I finally got a pyrometer and would like to try macro crystalline
glazes. Does anyone have any cone 6 recipes they would be willing to
share? I do have a book on crystallines, but most of the recipes are
for cone 9/10. Does adding 5 percent lithium really work to lower the
temperature without ruining the effects of glaze? I checked the
archives and found a little information, but no recipes.
Thanks,
Sylvia

Lowering the temperature of crystalline glazes will definitely have an effect on the visual of the glaze when put up against a ^9 or higher glaze base.
When Bill Schran presented at LatticeStructuresTM , his topic was exactly what you're asking for. When I introduced him, I offered my opinion that ^6 glazes should not be viewed only as an "alternative" for higher fired glazes, but as an aesthetic with a beauty all its own.
Contact Bill Schran or Fara Shimbo for glazes to try.

Here's a page that I've been to with some recipes:
