Susan --
You should read all of the many replies to your
inquiry -- there's lots of good info there.
Knowing that you're going for ^6 oxidation
(generally called mid-fire, as opposed to
earthenware temps, which are called low-fire),
I'd say some good things to start with could be
--
Flint (silica source)
(or silica)
EPK (clay sources, for alumina etc.)
OM#4 Ball Clay
Red fireclay (of your choice)
Frit 3134 (melter sources)
Custer Feldspar
Nephelyne Syenite
Spodumene
Bentonite (suspender)
Cobalt Carb (colorants)
Copper Carb
Tin (or Zircopax)
Red iron oxide
Other folks would have different lists. I might
add Gillespie Borate or Gerstley, but they react
rather similarly to frit 3134, and at least to
start with, 3134 may be more predictable. COE
concerns lead me to add Spodumene, though some
folks avoid using it to keep lithium levels low.
(High concentrations of lithium can make glazes
do odd things, but low levels are usually OK.)
Flint alone is probably pretty much OK; and can
generally be subbed one for one for various
grades of silica. No need to start out with more
than one, take whatever your supplier has.
Clays are different, and there may be many
different kaolins and ball clays at some ceramics
supply houses, but start with one each. EPK and
OM#4 are possibly the most commonly called for in
recipes, and it's a good idea to know their
characteristics.
The colorant list is highly specific. If you
don't want blue, don't get the cobalt. Likewise
green and copper. You can spend thousands on
stains and so on, but if you know particularly
what you want, stains can be a quick way to get
spot on a shade you're after. If you want a
color opaque; you'll probably need either the tin
or zircopax (for which Ultrox, superpax, etc. are
essentially 1 for 1 substitutes*).
I have used CKK6 a little, and it's generally a
good clay but it's neither fish nor fowl -- not a
white stoneware exactly, but also not something
with the visual variety of a darker clay either.
My notes show some crazing problems, but that may
not be significant for you (also I had lots of
crazing issues at the beginning, and had to
control COE on my glazes to eliminate them). For
an urn, though, crazing might be desirable -- a
good decorative surface effect for a vessel that
will, presumably, be carefully handled.
As you learn to do what you want to do, you'll
find the resources here get better. The more
particular your question, the better the answers
will be. Lots of folks will help.
Best wishes -- Steve S
* The biggest difference between them is that
some have a bit of hafnium in them and the others
do not. Hafnium is a really neat metal, and
absorbs thermal neutrons really well. That's one
of the reasons why it's used for control rods in
nuclear reactors. That doesn't mean anything in
the pottery world, I was just thinking of it when
I was thinking of zircon sources.

If you were somewhat of a newbie and beginning (re-beginning) some glaze
tests and slip tests for a range of temperatures, what are the basic
ingredients you would want to have in your "kitchen".
Thanks,

Hello, Susan,
The answer depends on, in part, to what cone and in what atmosphere
you'll be firing.
Here's how I built my shopping list.
I gathered a dozen recipes I thought I'd like to experiment with and
listed their ingredients. I narrowed down the list to make it
manageable and bought the ingredients the remainder called for.
If there was an ingredient that was either very expensive or used in
only one glaze that I didn't care about, I skipped that glaze at
first.
Other glazes and tests will likely call for some other ingredients
and you can fill in and build up your inventory that way.
You don't mention this, but I would hope that you will have and use a
good mask, gloves, scales, sieves, mixer, etc.
Regards,
Maurice

Susan --
This question comes up often and it can't really
be answered. There are huge variables -- how you
want to fire, and to what cone, what kind of clay
you will be using, etc.
You don't need to start with a huge number of
materials, though -- a silica (or flint), a
source of melters (feldspar or nepheline syenite
or a frit or gerstley borate or a substitute for
gerstley), and a clay (kaolin or a ball clay) can
be a place to start. You can even start with a
single material that in iteself includes all
these items, using a slip glaze like Albany or
Alberta slip, if you're firing to cone 10 or so.
The number of variations, from that point, is
effectively infinite, and the additional
materials you need depends mostly on what you're
trying to do. If you have a more specific idea
about what your goals are, and you have a good
idea how you want to fire, post the information
here and I'm sure someone will help you.
Best wishes -- Steve Slatin

I tried to imagine slip and glaze tests at various temps, for various
atmospheres,
from raku to electric to anagama. Here's what I came up with off the
top of my head-
probably incomplete, maybe one or two things one (not I) could live
without. I think I have
about twice this number of ingredients in the old glaze kitchen at
this point.
Custer Feldspar
F-4 feldspar
Cornwall Stone
Nepheline Syenite
Om4 Ball Clay
Kentucky Stone
EDgar Plastic Kaolin
Grolleg Kaolin
Calcined Kaolin
RedArt
Alberta Slip
Hawthorne Fireclay
Gerstly Borate
Ferro Frit 3110
Ferro Frit 3124
Ferro Frit 3134
Talc
Spodumene
Whiting
Dolomite
Borax
Soda Ash
Silica
Alumina Oxide (calcined Alumina Hydrate)
Bentonite
Rutile
Red Iron Oxide
yellow Ochre
Tin Oxide
Zinc Oxide
Chrome Oxide
Nickel Oxide
Manganese Dioxide
Titanium Dioxide
Zircopax
Cobalt Carbonate
Copper Carbonate
Strontium Carbonate
Lithium Carbonate
Magnesium Carbonate

I would look around at glazes in the temp range/atmosphere I was going
to be firing at, and ask questions of the potters whose glazes I liked
(what temp/range do they fire at? does the glaze have a "type"
name--i.e., celadon, majolica, etc? anything you should know about any
of those materials?). I would then look at recipes which would
correspond to the glazes I liked. Finally, a pattern should
emerge--what materials are common to all or most of those glazes?
This will require some work and patience on your part, but it will be
rewarded.

Hi Steve,
We are going to have a civilized discussion about some of your concepts -
all in the spirit of two people who respect each other of course - and each
valuing the others friendship - OK?
If you were to do a glaze with 25% GB and tried to sub in Gillespie borate
for the GB you would get close - but if you subbed in 3134 you would have a
different glaze - not enough boron in 3134 for starters - and no MgO in
3134 - so right away the CTE is going to be out of whack.
Your mission - if you choose to accept - is to redo a glaze with at least
20% GB with 3134 subbed in - do you want me to send you one?
Spodumene is not a concern to me - except if the glaze is so unstable and
will release enough Lithium into food to be a concern. What I often warn
potters about is the use of lithium carb in amounts over 2% because it can
- with some clay bodies - produce spectacular fit problems - I can't say
which bodies but it would be a great project for someone to try - and I
would help if needed!!!!
Flint is not available in NA that I know of by the way - we use silica
here. Flint is slightly different in that it has some CaO - only available
in Great Briton as far as I know..
Other wise I agree and congratulate you on your post - your buddy - R
