Can anyone help me obtain a pale =
green Celerdon glaze to cone 10-11
over a white body gas fired,or give me some interesting alternitives.

Hi Barrie,

We have tried the following and found it very good, velvety and smooth.
If you want a bluer celedon, change the EPK to China Clay.

==========================================
CUSTER FELDSPAR..... 42.80 42.80%
FLINT............... 27.80 27.80%

Another one that I tested is 4 Star Celedon, found in the
SDSU archives. I have altered this one slightly:

WOLLASTONITE........ 10.00 10.00%

Dear Barrie; Look for an unaltered Rhyolite with low Titania content and
ball-mill it with 5% Talc and 5% Wollastonite. If it has any plasticity,
you can glaze green with it as I do. Maybe michael Banks can direct you to
a suitable rock. Hank in Eugene

Expansion coefficient: 67.1 x 10e-7 per degree C

Viscosity index: 1.1

Surface Tension index: 3.2

Onset of oxide volatization:
H2O 100 C (complete loss)
CO,CO2 700 C (c/018) (complete loss)
Na2O 1100 C (c/02) (partial loss)
K2O 1200 C (c/6) (slight loss)

Materials in glaze:
G-200 Feldspar provides SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, Na2O, and CaO.
Whiting provides CaO.
EPK provides SiO2 and Al2O3.
Flint provides SiO2.
Red iron oxide provides Fe2O3. Used as a colorant.
Bentonite provides several oxides. Ususally used as a suspending agent.

Oxides in glaze:
Na2O is a strong alkaline flux.
K2O is a strong alkaline flux.
MgO is a high-temperature flux.
CaO is a high-temperature flux.
Al2O3 increases viscosity, prevents crystallization, and adds durability.
TiO2 adds opacity and encourages crystal formation.
Fe2O3 is a colorant (tan, yellow, brown, red, and black).
In reduction, Fe2O3 -> FeO, which is a flux and colorant (brown, black).
SiO2 is the primary glass-former in glazes.

Barrie,
This is a pretty reliable greenish celadon in reduction. Oxidation gives
a nice yellow. Custer Feldspar is a potash feldspar. Grolleg is a low
titania English kaolin. Higher titania kaolins give greener glazes. The
expansion is pretty low for this glaze; you may need to drop the silica in
5% increments to get the fit you want. For a bluer celadon, drop the
dolomite and use 20 whiting.
Other variations: Vary the iron through the range: .5%-4%; do the same
with any red clay instead of iron oxide; drop the kaolin completely;
directly substitute other feldspars; substitute anything else you think of.

Hi Barrie,

If you go to the Matrix website at http://www.Matrix2000.co.nz you will find
a link to some glaze research by Tina Hendriks and Namsook Chang.

The direct URL is http://www.matrix2000.co.nz/TinaLuxBlend/TinaLux.htm

These students used Matrix to generated a glaze blend which examines the the
results of varying clay and silica in a celedon glaze. You can see the
glazes as thumbnail and larger images. The recipe and unity formula for each
of the glazes are listed. There are some interesting glazes in this
collection. If the intensity of green is too dark for you simply reduce the
% of iron oxide in the recipe.
