Hi all,

I am looking for a glaze recipe that breaks well over texture for cone 5 =
=3D
or 6 oxidation. Any suggestions?

I like Tony Hansen's 5 part glaze, mixed with oxides, any combination of
cobalt carb, copper carb for ^6.

See:

This web site, www.digitalfire.com, hasn't been mentioned recently on
clayart, but it is full of useful information, technical but written so
non-scientists, non-chemists can understand it.

I love using glazes based on John Hesselberth and Ron Roy's High Calcium =

Semi-
matte 2 (Raw Sienna, Spearmint and variations thereof) from "Mastering Co=
=3D
ne 6=3D20
Glazes" on texture. You can see examples here:

All the best,

Hi Jean=3D3B I use a lot of Mastering cone 6 Glazes and Micheal Baileys con=

6 book over texture with a variety of oxides=3D2C they are developed to wor=

in oxidation. What I found was that recipes with a lot of rutile in it seem=

ed to obscure detail so I don't use rutile. Interestingly the Majolica rec=

One of my favorites for glazing over delicate carvings and textures is a Ch=

un base=3D2C with colorants:

Kona F-4 feldspar 38.00
Whiting 14.00
Zinc oxide 12.00
Kentucky OM #4 6.00
Silica 30.00
--------------------------
Total 100.00

I use this with a small amount of rutile (0.5%) as a liner glaze for food-b=

earing surfaces. Try with small amounts of copper carbonate for a green ce=

ladon-like appearance=3D2C and with small amounts of cobalt for a delightfu=
