Alisa,
I've been playing with this glaze lately. I think it is the same as
what I'm using anyway, under the name of Kemp Pink. I've been trying to
make it without the Gerstley, but so far the color has been real muddy.
But I have had some success with modifying the color. I've decided that
an addition of 1% iron oxide makes it a deeper red, and an addition of
0.5% cobalt carbonate makes it a really great purple. Try that.

Arvada Center for the Arts this weekend, stop in the workshop and say
Hi.

What is this glaze? How about a recipe?

Beware of this one.....tested great on small sample...made up big
batch...runs...looked dreadful on bigger bowl...good news is....looks
great sponged on rims of other glazes...especially our famous floating
blue.

Hi, Alisa, Very kind of you to share your recipes. However, this is the
only one I received! Would you please send me the others? I am just
setting my studio up after moving to another state, and I am going to use
commercial glaze mix for a bit but look forward to doing some tests soon.
What are you firing your stoneware to? And the glazes? Thanks! suzanne

You might want to try doing a blue version of that chrome/tin red by adding
one or two percent of cobalt and maybe a touch iron or rutile as a modifier.
It can look good in combination with the blue and wax resist designs. You
might want to try the wax resist with the floating blue as well.
I've been doing some cone 6 oxidation tests since I joined a glaze group with
all cone 6 oxidation potters and that combination can be pretty interesting.

Regards,
June

I just saw another tile with the same glaze from the same batch, but =
applied thicker, thinking
maybe that would even it out. It was very even on my kiln shelf!!
I will fool around with this over some other glazes. Thanks everyone =
who sent suggestions
to the last tests I sent over the list.

Best regards,
