Mike and Ron,
Thanks for answering my question about controlled slumping. You both
mentioned that trimming a piece too thin will cause the piece to change
shape as it's being fired. I had no idea that thickness (or a lack thereof)
would distort a piece, so that was quite helpful.
Ron- I've come up with a vivid blue version of your Waterfall recipe. I
posted a picture of it here: http://wooditis.blogspot.com. It's quite
stunning, and I'm getting some wonderful comments about it. Once again, many
thanks to you and John.
Back to the drawing board for me with that slumping issue! But at least I
have something to start with. Thanks again to both of you.

Jamie, I compliment you on your combination of
pottery and wood working skills. Beautiful, artful
stuff.
I am wondering if you will share your recipe changes
for both versions of the Waterfall Blue on your site.
I love the texture of both.

Angela,
The Waterfall Blue Glaze recipe I've been working on uses the same 4 base
ingredients, but for the REAL Blue color I achieved, I added 4% copper carb
and .5% cobalt oxide.
For the lighter version of Blue, I used 5% RIO and 1% Rutile.
Similar to Ron and John's original Waterfall Brown, these glazes runs! And a
slow cool helps immensely. Hope this helps. :)

Hi Jamie,
Went there - had to google on wooditis to get there.
Wonderful work Jamie - wish you were closer - I need a table.
Yes - waterfall blue it is - I'm impressed.
I also understand about why you want to slump - good luck with that part.
Best regards - RR

The obvious question: any ideas why Jamie Yocono
didn't get the blisters that Hesselberth&Roy reported?
John H? Jamie?

Ron,
Thanks for your nice words about my Waterfall glaze experiments. It's a
rather addicting challenge you two set forth.
John Sankey posted here, wondering why I'm not getting the blisters that
John and you reported. I haven't a clue, but suspect some of the
contributing factors could be differences in clay bodies, variations in dry
ingredients, and of course, firing schedule.
Whatever is causing my blind luck, I'll take it. :)
Any clues?
Jamie
