Sounds interesting....what fomula are we talking about for the white glaze called "chun"?
(I have the book and have used Ron's licorice.)

Hi Jeff,

If you dip your plate one half into chun (white) and the other half into Ron
Roy's licorice (a sometimes, greeny black) you will get a blue glaze with
small white spots all over where the glazes overlap., I would say it would
be more like masses of small white stars in a dark blue ground. I am not
sure of the size of leopard spots, they sound bigger. I haven't done it
with an overlap myself but often use if for small and medium , not large,
bowls. I think a large bowl might be a bit busy like that. With the
smaller sizes I would glaze chun inside and then dip the whole bowl in
licorice. It is a very reliable combination. It always works. It is fine
with cone 6 but better with cone 7 and better still fired twice when all
sorts of interesting colours appear. I can't fire higher than cone 7.

If you put chun under Ron Roy's slate blue it is still spotty, or more
frothy, but the blue is more pastel and not so arresting and there is not so
much contrast but still nice. Just be careful not to get the top glaze too
thick. And it has to be chun not any old white. I don't know of any other
ways to get spots though I am sure there are lots and this might not be of
any use as you already have the white.

I have a white glaze that I am dipping half of a plate into and a blue
glaze that I am dipping the other half in. I have seen some overlaps
recently where the overlaps of the 2 glazes create a "leopard spot"
effect. I'm trying to achieve this with my white and blue. Does anyone
have any advice on how to achieve this look? Thank you.

You can try drying one of the glazes and sprinkling the dried chunks into
the wet glaze right after dipping.

hi Jeff
=20
i am doing the same thing and found that if i do not screen the glaze to hi=
gh "above 50" i get the spots but mine are a little smaller than a leopard.
i guess you could add larger crystals of what ever spot you want but it wil=
l take some time to tune it.
hope this helps.Joe

This summer, I had good luck putting Leach White over Reitz Green and
also Tenmoku. I found that Leach White moves less than my usual Nuka
white, so instead of the nice waterfall effect, I got leopard spots.

Hi, I'm firing to Cone 6 also- thanks for the white glaze formula. I'm still experimenting with Ron and John's base recipes with variations of colors-but this white might be different. I also have a pretty large supply of pre-'97 GB. Thanks again-Sal

Sally --

As it happens, I was tinkering with that recipe.

I did two different subs for the Antique White, and
the one I suspect is a little better relies on Gillespie
borate -- a kind of frit, as I understand, in any event,
a very reliable and consistent substitute for Gerstley
B.

Many folks just sub Gillespie for Gerstley one-for-
one. Often it works quite well.

Here is a sub that also cleans up a few things where
the recipe seemed a bit off --

Recipe Name: Antique White - Gillespie sub
Cone: 6 Color: White
Firing: Oxidation

Amount Ingredient
41.2 Nepheline Syenite
25 Gillespie Borate
14.7 Silica
5.8 Kaolin--EPK
4.8 Whiting
2.2 Bentonite
8.3 Tin Oxide
.9 Iron Oxide--Red
102.9 Total

Unity Oxide
.285 Na2O
.072 K2O
.095 MgO
.544 CaO
.004 SrO
1.000 Total
.435 Al2O3
.308 B2O3
.023 Fe2O3
2.717 SiO2
.001 TiO2
0 P2O5
6.2 Ratio
72.9 Exp

-----------------------------------

www.masteringglazes.com
------------------------------------

And this is one that you may already
have the ingredients for --

Recipe Name: Antique White - frit sub
Cone: 6 Color: White
Firing: Oxidation Surface:

Amount Ingredient
39.5 Nepheline Syenite
27 Frit--Ferro 3195
11 Silica
2 Kaolin--EPK
9.5 Whiting
2.2 Bentonite
8.3 Tin Oxide
.9 Iron Oxide--Red
3.5 Dolomite
103.9 Total

Unity Oxide
.299 Na2O
.065 K2O
.072 MgO
.564 CaO

.443 Al2O3
.301 B2O3
.022 Fe2O3
2.748 SiO2
0 TiO2
0 P2O5
6.2 Ratio
73.6 Exp

-----------------------------------
Calculations by GlazeMaster(tm)
www.masteringglazes.com
------------------------------------

I used Dolomite there because I was low on both calcium
and magnesium; Dolomite provides both. This recipe is
still low on Boron, though -- and they're both lower than
the original. Given that, I think the Gillespie sub is a
more interesting formula.

The original recipe is also kind of interesting -- maybe
a little low in alkali melters, but lots of boron to make
up for it, and not that high a concentration of silica or
alumina (all within the 'normal' range, but as we know,
even in the normal range there are some bad glazes).

I'm inclined to suspect that it will melt sufficiently even
with less boron, having reasonable amounts of alumina
and silica to get melted.

I'm also suspicious that it will craze, at least on OH-6/
B-Mix/Sea Mix-5 type clays.

So there you have it -- one amateur's ideas -- but
requiring either Gillespie Borate or Dolomite.

Best wishes -- Steve Slatin

Hi Frances, Thank you very much- I can't wait to try it!
I'll also be trying out the one Ed Bull sent- that he uses with Ron Roy's Midnight Blue.
(Mixing glaze samples sure beats going outside in Wisconsin right now!) Sally.

Hi Sally,

Sorry to have taken so long in replying. Here is the recipe for the chun
white glaze for a 100gr.

Kona F-4 Soda Feldspar 38g
Whiting 14g
Zinc 12g
OM4 Ball clay 6g
Silica 30g

For chun white add titanium dioxide 5g

We use it for a base for celadon add copper carbonate 2.75 and other colours
also. I am afraid I don't know its origin, maybe someone else will
recognise it.

To make a nice spotty/starry glaze in a deep blue ground it must go under
Ron Roy's licorice, doesn't work the same over it. Hope you enjoy it, I
like it a lot and it sells well. Frances

The white is definitly a stiffer glaze - especially with all that tin.
Having the stiffer glaze on top with the more fluid under is probably the
way to get the bigger pattern.

Hello John
Here are two recipes:
After I write them the way they are I shall offer you with "your"
materials. Try both ways it might be the same.
The main point about this glaze is red clay- that gives the Fe2O3+ The
combination of tin and ultrox/zircopax.
I removed the lithium and added frit.
The numbers of the first glaze are nice therefore I did not round them.

Interesting - the chun below has 0.25 Alumina and 2.7 Silica
Licorice has 0.39 Alumina and 4.12 Silica.

Both have similar silica to alumina ratios.

I wonder if it is always the case - the stiffer glaze (in this case
Licorice) is better on top.

Hi Sally,

Not easy to do - had to reduce the albany and add some EPK and a little
iron. In theory it's very close.

I have no idea if it will work the same - maybe better - you will have to
test it out to see.

I don't save these so - if it needs adjusting send it back. Anyone else who
tries it - let me know what happens please.

This has 7% lithium carb - on some clay bodies that will result in a
disaster - test extensively on all the clays you use before using it on
anything functional - look for crazing and shivering on the same pot.
Remember this when you try new clays.

For anyone who does not have any Albany and wants to try this with Red Art
instead - see below.

Thanks to everyone for contributing to the glaze overlap issue.

With Antique White, we've subbed Gillespie for Gerstley 1:1 with success
but I've supplied the original recipe to the list and used Gerstley in the
last batch I made.
(Gillespie isn't a frit, but rather blended and refined raw materials,
more consistent).
http://hamgil.com/html/gillespieborate.html

Very interesting regarding the stiffness affecting the fired appearance.
We have lots of cone 6 glazes and did overlaps on small cups of them all.
Very interesting to see the results.

Antique White over Raspberry from MC6G is also quite striking.

It seems this is the result of the molten glaze underneath bubbling up
through the
layer of the stiffer glaze with an incomplete mixing of the two.

I'm also interesting in trying the reformulated recipe that Steve provided
with frit 3195.

Antique White is one of the few remaining holdovers here at our studio.
Held over due to popular demand!
We mostly use MC6G glazes or others we've had analyzed for leaching, etc.

We use lots of clay bodies here at the studio
and it seems to work well with most all of them.
Haven't noticed any crazing.
Cool on things like white stonewares, B Mix, etc and
very nice on darker clays too.

This is exciting- I'll have so many new formulas- I can hang on to my old GB and the Albany Slip forever- but I won't have a reason to! (And I just bought 50 lbs. of GB from 1983!)

I'll try both the Albany Slip and the Redart version. I used the original Falls Creek Shino on a bowl that is A.R.T's Buff I. I also have it presently cooling on the outside of a larger bowl made out of A.R.T's Speckled Brownstone. It looks great on Buff I- but I'll have to look with a magnifying glass! Students will get to use it as a treat-and probably just on the outside of their pots.

I'll report back after I test the new formulas- thanks so much. Regards, Sally

I have found that while most glazes can go on top of the stiffer
shinos, shinos don't always go well on top of other glazes.

Also, it depends on the effect you want.

Hi Ed,

Pete Pinnell's Weathered Bronze Green is a favorite of mine for the
top glaze on layered glaze application. It was really developed as a
cone 9 glaze and just barely gets melted at a full cone 6 which also
puts it in the category of "stiff" at cone 6. Give it a try sometime.

Regards,

John
