Hello All;
Merry Ho Ho and all the Best in 2007. Everyone here at Clayart has been
wonderful the last 3 months as I have been getting started with my wheel and
kiln and now making glazes. I wouldn't be at this stage without all of you
and your suggestions and feedback.
My first round of test glazes turned out exactly as they should be proved to
be too matt for functional ware but great for sculpture so not all is lost
and I learned a lot
(Michael Bailey's AM1 glazes).
For my second round of glazes I stuck with Mastering Cone 6 and I was
pleased with the results. My licorice turned out dark brown and nothing
reacted well with it BUT my Waterfall Brown turned out perfect. Exactly
like the book. Go figure as I am a total newbie.
I have picked out 4 glazes to start with. I did tests on all of them and as
I type this I have my first kiln load full of my new glazes which I mixed up
yesterday. Variegated Slate Blue, Bone, Waterfall Brown and a Speckled Blue
which I used the base from one glaze and the colors from another and got an
awesome blue with black flecks!
What I am looking for is a Sage Green, preferably variegated so it has
character on its own. A lighter green, not pastel and definitely not olive.
Even if it has hints of blue, that would work. I tried to attach a picture
with an example but my Clayart email was rejected.
*I love the variegated slate blue I have made and was wondering if anyone
had a recipe for a similar glaze in variegated sage green* (and any pictures
to I can see the glaze before making a test batch)?
Thank you again Clayarters for the last 3 months of advice and feedback! I
have also learned a lot by reading other peoples posts and responses. I do
not know where I would be at this stage without everything I have learned.
Best Regards,

Lisa,
My favorite is Xavier's Warm Jade Green. Here's a link to John
Hesselberth's site, where I found it (as well as many others):
http://www.frogpondpottery.com/glazestability/glaze0017.html
It's warm and rich, and tends to have a metallic cast which is lovely,
though I haven't figured out how to reproduce it. It likes a slow cool to
be matt. I sometimes dip it quickly in the watery glaze that rises to the
top of my gloss blue, and it looks like a shiny wash over the mostly matt
base. If you'll email me off list I will send a picture.
Brenda

For your sage green you might use the base formula from Ron and John for Veriegated blue and use .5% Cobalt Carb, 3% Copper Carb and change the Feldspar to Custer. I tried it and liked the result as did a number of people I have shown it too. You can of course adjust the cobalt and copper till you get the shading you like.
Good Luck, Dick

Use the same base as for variegated slate blue and use the additions
for Spearmint. Depending on the firing, it is close to a sage green.
Hotter -
i.e. cone 6 1/2 - and it gets a little darker and less matt.

This site also has a couple of different reformulations of Licorice that
might be more what you are looking for.
Spearment made up with dark rutile gives what I think of as a sage green but
perhaps what you have in mind is something more blue?
