Jim Bozeman on wed 4 apr 01


I'm making pots for a big wood firing kiln to be fired in a few weeks and
I'm putting in pots made of three different clay bodies to see what will
happen to them all. Porcelain, stoneware, and raku clay. I was wondering if
anybody knows of a good slip recipie for wood firing? Something that will
enhance color flashing on the pots. Jim

For orange flashing spray them with some Helmers Kaolin. I combine it with a
light shino. Too much helmers gives too mych orange. Good luck

Would this also work in a soda firing? I am doing one in a few weeks.
Thanks in advance.

Jim,
Be aware that many commercial Raku bodies have considerable talc
content, and can melt at high temps.
