Hi!

I've scanned 2 tiles with my first experiments with glazes, I mixed =
different frits with copper and got wonderful results. To see the depth =
of the transparent glazes, I did some stereoskopic scans, to see the =
detail images in 3d, you have to look with the right eye onto the left =
part of the image and with the left onto the right part, if you are able =
to do that both parts merge onto one image with some impression of =
depth.=20

Tschau,
Sabine

TOLL!

I tried the cross-eyed, and man that's cool.

You made a bit of a boo boo with the web address, however.

I played a bit with javascript and now you can scroll around over the glaze
surface to view every bubble and every crack in my glaze. :-)

Hi Ababi,
> You alkali frit, how it is called. what is it made from?
The alkali frit I found in my pottery club has just a number, 4612, I'dont
know anything else about it. For my next experiments I bought a lot of new
stuff, for the next glazes I know what is in there. (I have now about 40
materials to supply me with 22 elements).

> You must also write to what cone or temperature you have fired it.
I fired the tiles in my small enamel kiln bought on ebay for 30 € without
any temperature control, so I can only guess I get 800-900 °C. In one of my
last firings I used some seger cones and get 970 °C after 2,5 hours firing,
so I have for my next firings a clue what temperatures I can get with my
test kiln. For exacter results I can fire the glazes in the main kiln at
1025 °C, but it's more fun and faster to have an own small kiln for test
purposes.

> Another thing, if you are starting now, try to avoid lead!
Can I get such a deep green without any lead? My impression is, I get with
lead better colours, I covered tiles decorated with coloured silps with
different transparent glazes and the leaded ones gave my the best colours.

Tschau,
Sabine

Hello Sabine
You alkali frit, how it is called. what is it made from?
I make sometimes tests with too different alkali frits and get different results.
Sometimes a supplier calls a frit "Alkali frit" or "borax frit" as he wishes.
You must also write to what cone or temperature you have fired it.
Another thing, if you are starting now, try to avoid lead!
Good luck welcome

Does your teacher or supplier knows what 4612 means? Or at least the
manufactures? I have about 5 frits that can be considered as alkaline frit=
s.

Listen to my story. I was born and grew in Jerusalem. In 1965 I moved to k=
ibbutz
Shoval. Though I have been back many time after ward , the memory was of a=
city
with borders between two enemies countries. I knew if I will go to this fi=
lled I will walk
into a mines field or if I will pass there the Jordanian solders might sho=
ot me or at
least arrest me.

Even in limited life you can have a full life.

The lead is a dangerous material. It is an easy solution, but if you will =
be used to it will
be very hard try other ways to find the beautiful colors. Deep green in C9=
50
I will try with your alkali frit as a material of raku
80- 85 frit 4612
10 -20 kaolin
up to 5 Bentonite

10 ultrox
3-5 black copper oxide

or 5 ultrox (zircopax, zircon silicate)
3 copper oxide
3-5 rutile
can try to eater version an add of 1 red iron oxide or instead to use red =
clay instead of
the kaolin. You can dry a grogless terra cotta body weigh it re wet and us=
e
The next test to make it on a raku claybody or a paperclay and raku it!
Keep glazing,
