yellow without stains

Yellow is easily gotten with 1-2% red iron oxide in a low silica high calcium
glaze with a little tin. Too much silica causes these iron yellows to either
get a cold grayish tone or go mustardy.
You can go to my web site (listed below) and I have a two cone 6 yellows and
a cone 10 yellow. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see
links to several pages of cone 6 oxidation and cone 10 reduction glazes with
pictures of test tiles and recipes. There is an error in description of one which
I need to correct. It says "denium blue" which is incorrect; the iron
colorant addition is the correct match for that yellow tile.
Two of recipes use only use 1-2% red iron and tin and the other one (one of
the cone 6 oxidation recipes) has rutile, manganese and titanium dioxide as the
colorants. That one is a warm, rich, sunshine yellow. That base also has
several other colorants variation listed which can be used in combination nicely.

Regards,
June Perry (finishing up glazing today and loading the soda kiln tomorrow!)

left-overs kept on the 'Yellow' Plates or Bowls,
in one's Ice Box...

Maybe you should change your settings so that you would get your own
clayart posts.

Maybe clayart should be set to do that as a default. I can't
understand why it's not a default. Who wouldn't want to get their
own messages? Seems like a no-brainer.

To set your prefs to get your own postings, send a message to:

listserv@lsv.ceramics.org
with
SET CLAYART REPRO
in the
message body.

No need for a subject header, but rock on... tell the listserv
something dirty in the subject. I usually mention something about
orifices.

Regards,
Maurice

Come on, Brad,

Do post it again. Please don't get all annoyed and prickly, not just before
Thanksgiving. Along with the many other blessings we have in our lives, (and I
hope that all my Clayart friends have many of them) I, personally, am also
thankful for Clayart and thankful for the moderators who give us such a wonderful
opportunity to learn, share, discuss.

So, I hope you will post for information again. I, for one, would love to
read it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone.

Veena

Most of the bacteria, yes.
But then there were the six-headed ones and the ones that got those big
bulging eyes.
I hated it when they would look up at me from the leftover plate.

OK, I stand corrected. I did not keep up with all the new requirements of
ClayArt. I was just trying to contribute. But, if I can not simply post a
resonse to some else's question and receive that post myself so that I know
it got posted--well, then why bother contributing if I don't know that my
contribution is even being posted? If ClayArt requires me to periodically
":update my settings," I will probably just become a lurker.
