Hi. I'm a ceramics student at U.Oregon doing a web search on glaze recipies
and came across this amazing listserve resource with email archives from
YEARS ago...

1: So back in '96 this message went out, apparently without response. If
anyone knows about purple shinos, please share the wealth!

2: There is discussion of firing shinos with Cu reds (and getting perfect
results). Do the fumes from these two glazes complement each other to
enhance results like the tomatoes and basils do in my garden?

3: My classmate Hiro is going home to Japan over the holidays, and digging
up glaze recipies and info, mostly about shinos (with translations). I will
be in email contact with him. Anyone need anything from the store?

Happy holidays,
John

Hi;

Some of Arakawa's work has been referred to as 'purple shino'. The ones I
have seen use a slip under the shino glaze and turn purple under the right
conditions of atmosphere and application. To my eyes they are purple only
in relation to the warm tones of normal firecolor.

Cheers! Free your turkey! Hank in Eugene
