Dear Clayart,

Several people have written to me off line regarding this glaze, so I will
clarify the recipes in the archives:

This glaze is in the archives twice with the same name, but has two
different recipes. One is Marcia Selsor's that is usually fired
reduction. I have fired it in ox. and the result was a Turquoise Mat.

Marcia Selsor Turquoise Mat cone 6 redux

61,27 Nepheline Syenite
31,94 Strontium Carb.
2,47 Silica
Adds up to 95,68

ADD
14,7 Lithium Carb.
Add 2,85 Copper Carb.


-----------------------

The recipe for the glaze I use and the one that is shown along with my
recent tests is also called Turquoise Mat, redux. I do not remember who
originally posted this version of the above to Clayart.

Of course I fire it in Ox.

61.59 Neph. Syenite
20.88 Strontium Carb.
7.69 Ball Clay
3.3 Lithium Carb.
3.5 Copper Carb.
4 Bentonite
Adds up to 100,96

1 Epson Salt

I do not use the Epson salt. I use it rather thick as where it is thin, it
fires brown.

Hi!

This Turquoise mat works find in oxidation,
NOT in reduction where it looses its color.
