Hi y'all. The Duncan kilns at the retirement home where I teach
handbuilding classes can only be used for lowfire ware. I have
never worked in lowfire before, and need some glazes in the ^06
- 04 range.
I am especially interested in getting a color similar to the ever
popular Floating Blue - I want something with some depth to it.
If you have any recipes to share, please email direct or post
here. Thanks.

I found an untested Opalescent that might work like the floating blue.
Cone 04 Opalescent Blue Glaze
Spodumene 20
Gerstley Borate 60
OM #4 Ball Clay 12
Flint 8
Plus:
Rutile 3
An opalescent glaze, clear where thin, blue-white opalecent where thick.
Variation:
The addition of 0.75% Colbalt Carbonate gives a rich mottled midnight
blue glaze

Here's one that I've used a lot.
Cone 04 Clear Crackle Glaze Oxidation
Gerstley Borate 55%
EPK 30%
Flint 15%
For a nice effect wipe a solution of an oxide over the piece after the
glost firing. Then wipe off the excess. The oxide will remain in the
cracks.
