Studio Manager at Wesleyan Potters thinks it is a copper blue barim George
has crossed over the bridge and all the made glazes were given to wes. Pots
and I fell in love with it as I am a green person no yellow in this geen it
is on the dark side and rich...Gosh you would think that I was describing

I am looking for a glaze formula called Kahana Brown. A work-study
student, here at Central Michigan University, made the glaze several years
ago. Unfortunately the student took the formula with him when he left. We
would like to make the glaze again but do not have the formula to do so.
It is a hi-fire waxy matte glaze.

Thanks

Hey all,
I'm looking for a ^6 glaze that fires yellow.
the school I work at is having their reunion in June and I just finished =
making vases with grade 4 and 5 kids to go on the tables. the art =
teacher who asked me to help her out is being very particular about =
colours (though I am trying to dissuade her!).=20
Is there a glaze out there that fires to cone 6 and is yellow? How about =
purple? That's the other choice.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Sometimes we just need to remember what the rules of life
really are... You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape.
If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and
shouldn't, use the duct tape.

Penni, you can get both those colors in premixed form; check the ads in CM,
CT, or PMI.

Hi Penni,
If you have MC6G, yellow is pretty easy to achieve with one of those. Try
the Glossy Base 2 and add 3% tin (OR 6% superpax) and 3 to 6% rutile,
depending on how bright a yellow you want.

If you have a nice white glaze already, try adding rutile to it in various
amounts.

Or you could try Yellow Satin Gloss, ^6 ox
36 custer feldspar
20 ff 3124
16 talc
20 epk
8 wollastonite
3% tin oxide
5% rutile

My notes say 3% rutile gives a pale pale yellow, 4% gives white cheddar
cheese and with 5% it turns to butter!
(I use this glaze with Xaviers Warm Jade Green - the two melt together well
in an interesting fashion.)

You can get aubergine, which is a kind of purple, with MC6G Raspberry recipe
by adding 1% cobalt carb and 0.25% RIO to the entire recipe including the
tin and chrome.

Sounds like easter egg time. Where is the pink? ;-)

we have a turquoise glaze one of our students was trying out. came
out a slightly mottled blue/green semi-matte. very nice. we fire in
reduction, but I have a feeling it would look good in oxidation, too.

turqouise matte

neph sye 61.54
strontium carb 21.3
om-4 6.67
flint 7.60
lith carb 2.89

__________

copper carb 2.89


the original recipe had barium carb in it that we subbed out .75 parts
strontium for 1 part barium. the glaze software then recalculated it
when I entered the amounts into our data base to =3D 100 like it always
does, hence the wonky numbers.

hope this helps,

jon

Subject: Looking for a glaze

I am looking for a glaze that emulates a green patina on a bronze or copper
base. The other basic requirements are for a cone 8/10, semi-matt, smooth
glaze fired in oxidation on either a stoneware or porcelain body.
Application could be dip, spray, brush, etc. A second possibility would b=
e
to fire at cone 5/6. If anyone has a possible recipe or any comments or
suggestions I would very much appreciate hearing from you.



Thanks,

Hi Bic,
=3D20=3D20=3D20
Here's a cone 6 glaze that might work for you.
The person I got the recipe from attributed it to Lana Wilson, but who kn=

This version is definitely not in the food-safe category; it lightens not=

when left in vinegar overnight.
Green With Bronze On Top ^6 OX
Custer feldspar 30
Nepheline syenite 20
Whiting 17
Gerstley borate 4
Zinc oxide 9
EPK 14
Flint 5
ADD:
Bentonite=3D09 2
Granular rutile 4
Copper carbonate=3D091.5

Here's a photo of a porcelain or white stoneware vase with it:

A variation I've made to this recipe increases the Si:Al ratio so it does=

Bentonite=3D09 2

I've never used it on anything but white clay bodies, so I don't know how=

similar results on a higher-fired base glaze.

Good luck,

Dear Everyone -
When posting a glaze recipe, please remember to ALWAYS include the
maturation cone. Some people might not be keeping track of the specific
discussion thread, but will be interested in the recipe. If you do not
include the cone, it is useless to them.
Thanks -
- Vince
