Randy's Red has been mentioned a lot recently. It sounds like a really
great and popular glaze. I am a new traveller through the magic world of
Cone 6, (or thereabouts) and I would just love to add a good gutsy red to
my rainbow of colours, - all based on Tony Hansen's clear base. So if
anyone has the time to post the recipe for Randy's Red cone 6, I am sure
that a lot of us cone-6'ers below the equator would be most appreciative,
and most of all ME, way down here on the South Island of New Zealand!

Hanne,
I thought that someone more expert in glazes would answer your
request, and they probably will. In the meantime, I thought I would take
the liberty of replying with the Randy' s Red recipe that was posted by
Judy Musicant. Hope she doesn't mind my doing this and hope it is helpful
to all those interested.

A real standby iron red in these here parts is RANDY'S RED CONE 6 OXIDATION
