Glaze test for Stonyearth Green, fired cone 6 ox.

Glaze tested on white midrange stoneware fired in electric oxidation to =
1220c.

Credited to: Richard Behrens

Firing ramp:
100c p/h to 600c (212f - 1112f)
150c p/h to 1100c (330f - 2012f)=20
100c p/h to 1220c (212f - 2228f)
cool down max. per hour to 900c (1652f)
hold for one hour at 900c
shut off kiln

Recipe:
8.40 Bone Ash
18.70 Neph. Sye.
2 Magnesium Carb.
8.90 Wollastonite
11.80 Earth
32.50 Strontium Carbonate
15.30 Eng. Kaolin CC31
2.50 Silica

ADD
5.60 Tin Oxide
3.00 Copper ox.

Note: All raw materials are measured up or down to the nearest whole =
decimal. =20
Colorants or additives to a 100 gram test batch are measured in precent =
to the 100 gram test batch.

Substitutions:
Oldenwalder clay for Earth
Kaolin for Eng. Kaolin CC31

Results:
Medium brown matte glaze with slightly puple cast. Very smooth surface. =
No signs of green. Will retest much thicker to see if greens show up.

kiln, sieve it with a kitchen sieve as thin as possible.
I send here two recipes

Because I do not have right analysis of my soil, the glaze melts more
than it should according to Rhodes's analysis of average soil.
It gives surprising rough result.
I think, Alisa, that you missed the point of taking a ready to use clay.
The right way is to take soil from your garden, badly sieved makes the
glaze different than the
regular ones. The good thing I can tell you: Using clay you added more
alumina and silica to the glaze and made it probably more stable
