Does anyone know of a good book devoted primarily to Oribe ceramics?

Sandra Dwiggins on mon 2 dec 96

I just happen to have a few on my desk at the moment!

Kyoto Ceramics by Masahito Sako
Shino and Oribe ceramics by Ryoichi Fujioka
The Beginnings of Japanese Art by Namio Egami

Nils Lou on mon 2 dec 96

Check out "Shino and Oribe Ceramics" by Ryoichi Fujioka. Published by
Kodansha in 1977 and part of the Japanese Arts Library. Check with Steve
Branfman at the Potter's Shop. He may be able to get you a copy.It was
$12.95 wheb I bought it in 1978. Nils Lou

Does any one willing to share info about green Oribe glazes? are there any
low, mid or high fire temp glazes floating around that you might share? I
am also interested in any books or articles that pertain to this subject.
thanks for your time,

When I started researching Oribe's to fire in my new gas kiln, I
checked the databases at the CeramicsWeb. The glazebase didn't come
up with any but the clayart glazebase came up with ten recipes that
have that word in them somewhere...They are all high fire.

To find them go to this url on your web browser-

http://apple.sdsu.edu/ceramicsweb/findclayartglazes.html

and type in "Oribe" (no quotes) in the Look Everywhere box.
Then click Find and you'll get the list of glazes.

Good luck, I'm having fun with Oribe right now too :-)

The formulas that follow are from several sources in cluding Clay art
Listserv. The first one is my Oribe which in reduction will be pink( yes
pink) where very thin and a beautiful green where thicker. It can run so
don't be heavy handed with it. I like the brus spatter technique and
spatter through a fine mesh collander to get a speckled pink effect. Try
using it over McKenzie Oatmeal or a mild shino.

whiting 21.2
Talc 7.4

Rob's is more consistent and very similar--is glossy at ^9, whereas The
original Rob's calls for barium carb, and I substituted strontium. I use
only half the amouint specified in this recipe. I tested it without either
barium or strontium, and it is still a good glaze, but not quite as rich.

slips. I tried a batch last year. It can turn red when you reduce it !

18.0 soda spar
16.0 silica
13.0 barium carb or 9.8 strontium carb
6.0 copper carb
4.0 tin oxide

Any oribe-type glazes for oxidation?
Sandy

Ron Roy on sat 9 aug 97

A word of cauction - a similar glaze was reported on clayart a few months
ago as changing colour when in contact with food - I think it was fruit of
some kind. 5% of copper in a glaze is more than can be disolved so that
some of the copper will be on the surface - in some cases this can be
rubbed off with your finger.

Using this type of glaze in contact with some foods will be less than
satisfactory.

Akitajin \"Lee Love\" on sat 9 aug 97

Last Monday, we visited Warren MacKenzie. When we pulled up, he
had a bunch of his green pots out the back door of his studio and was
wearing rubber gloves and rubbing the pots with a cloth and dipping them
in a bucket of water.
He said he was taking the metallic surface off of the glaze with
Muriatic acid, he learned this trick from a potter in Japan who worked in
oribe. It really worked: a dark cloudy pot became brighter green after
the washing.

There is a good show at the Met in NY on Oribe. Here's the site:

again, lee has made a point.

we suggest a name...like oribe...and think
it is all this, or all that.

the root glazes that many of us use all the
time came from many different kilns.
wood fired, coal, gas, oil, electric.
the atmosphere of the kiln makes the glaze.

often the original glaze came from sagger fired
or oxidation firing. they did not use reduction.
i bet they hated it.

what if the old time potters hated those brown,
crusty pots....and they sought clean color?????
(more money in color than poo brown.)

there is a new world out there folks for those
that have fuel kilns and try to fire with very
light reduction, or no reduction.

if you want color...don't over smoke your kiln.
fire with oxygen. it is far cheaper too.
it is foolish to think that a stoneware kiln is
always brown and gray...well it is if you over -reduce.
try different atmospheres, and see what happens...don't
judge everything by smoke.

i am just opening a kiln of colleen's restaurant commission.
she used iron red with bone ash (kaki)...no decoration.
i fired the kiln with almost no reduction. neutral.
they are really a lovely red. not temmoku black..a
nice maroon red. i hope others are as thrilled as i
am with this set of 125 silverware containers.

she took on this project and did it all herself.
no help from me. i fired the kiln. 125 perfectly
matched jars. how do you learn to throw well?
make a set of 125.
